In this chilling and data-heavy episode, we uncover an FBI program that monitors and labels mainstream right-wing Americans as terrorists. Delving into shocking details, we reveal how certain words and phrases, like 'red pilled' and 'based,' are misinterpreted by the FBI to justify adding individuals to a terrorist watch list. The host discusses the manipulation of Reddit by FBI agents, speculating that the platform may be dominated by these agents, effectively killing genuine discourse. We also explore the wider implications of government control over social media, the misuse of taxpayer dollars, and the erosion of public trust in government institutions. The episode closes with a personal anecdote about the host's family life and concerns over societal decay.
