A Michigan man who'd reportedly been sucked into online conspiracies involving QAnon and 2020 election theft lies was killed by police after allegedly shooting his wife and daughter.
Gangstalking had the limitation of requiring schizophrenia to find it attractive.
You'd be surprised how susceptible the mind is to Simple Tricks and confirmation biases. As comforting as it is to say, you don't need to have a mental illness to start buying into these more batshit conspiracy theories. You just have to find community there when all others shun you.
Gangstalking isn't just a batshit conspiracy theory. It's each person's schizophrenic delusions being confirmed by the group under the guise that everyone is the same basic category of targeted individual. There isn't even a theory beyond that, just everyone's individual theories being brought to the potluck where you are obligated to confirm everyone else's. From the outside looking in on /r/gangstalking or the youtube channels for it, it's uniquely nonsensical.
unless you feel specifically targetted by a shadowy institution that has total control. ya know, the kinda ideology Alex Jones has been directly peddling to his viewers for the past 30 years.
the line between ideology and mental illness is so much blurrier than neurotypicals like to admit
I don't remember where I read it but supposedly there are records of delusions similar to gang stalking recorded at least back in to the 1800s, with people who believed that they and everyone around them were being controlled by some vast ill-defined machine.
Huh, sounds like an area ripe for research. Gang stalking as a manifestation of capitalist alienation that sprung into being within the overlap of schizophrenia and the destruction of tightnit communal bonds that previously existed.
I remember that person. Real sad stuff, because obviously there's nothing a random person on the internet can do or say to help them. I hope they broke through it and got help from someone who does have that ability.
We routinely go in to deep rabbit holes of speculation about how far the CIA's grip extends. We're constantly talking about government, police, business, and intelligence agency conspiracies. I can see how someone with delusions of persecution might think this is a friendly place, at least for a little while.

We're pretty crazy if you ask like 80% of the American working class.
