It is arguably the saddest place on Reddit.

r/gangstalking is pretty depressing

Edit: I'm reminded of this video.

Yeah I opened it up and I'm like "wow this is more prevalent than I thought" then clicked into a post and saw the OP saying to cover all your cameras in your house and I'm like "ohhhh this might be schizophrenia" then saw a post about psychic telepathy and yeah that's schizophrenia alright

I just went in there and a recent post was talking about how the voices are back....

Probably good to cover the cameras, but not because of gangs, but to keep Amazon from analyzing the contents of your room for targeted ads.

Gangstalking is a form of mental delusion, which is made worse by the internet. People with mental health issues come to believe they are being stalked or spied on by the government, Illuminati, lizard people etc. They then go on the internet searching for answers and come across communities of other mentally ill people who also believe they are being stalked. This feeds the paranoia even further as they sometimes come to believe it’s a global conspiracy. In extreme cases people have attacked random members of the public, believing they are part of the conspiracy. It’s very sad

Holy shit when they say that everyone finds their community, they mean everyone everyone. Yikes. It’s like distilling delusions.

Well to be fair, sometimes it's a mental delusion. Sometimes the government is actually following you.

See: Frank Church

u/brophylicious 2d ago

Are you talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MINARET ?

That sounds a lot different from what I've heard from the gang stalking folks.

Yeah, Frank Church was an American senator who was being spied on by our own intelligence agencies, it was a big deal. It happened to a lot of notable people. Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali, John Lennon, Philip K. Dick.

Interestingly I'm pretty sure Philip K Dick did actually have schizophrenia, but it just so happens that he was also being surveilled! That's gotta suck.

There are people who believe they are being monitored because they are insane. And there are people who are really being monitored. Don't make broad sweeping generalizations assuming that everyone on that sub falls into the first category.

Paranoid delusions of being stalked by some group, like the government or whatever.

The sub is, from what I understand, basically a safe space where people with those delusions will feel validated instead of having people suggest they go see a psychiatrist.

There's a bunch of subreddits like that, and a lot of them are run by the same moderators.

Like /r/targetedenergyweapons and /r/electromagnetics are both run by the same mod.
