That is your opinion, and it's usually not worth trying to change someone's opinion if they believe "gang stalking" is a real thing.
It's one of the reasons it's so serious, anyone attempting to help an undiagnosed schizophrenic, just drives them deeper into it. Because they just write that person off as "in on it".
As their behavior becomes more and more erratic, everyone acts weird around them as a response eventually leading to reclusive hermits who constantly harass their neighbors or escalate to violence over imagined sleights
Gangstalking is a truly fascinating symptom of schizophrenia.
"just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you". It's easier than ever for governments to monitor their citizenry, and there sure seem to be harsh consequences for those who demonstrate their effectiveness in altering the status quo. For every Fred Hampton there are a hundred good, strong, moral people who met a similar fate you never heard of. Dismissing their experience as mental illness is doing the regimes dirty work whether you're cognizant of that or not. Weird amount of activists dying from "suicide" or "overdose", some of whom I know beyond a doubt were supported and sober. We're having this discussion on a reddit splinter, Aaron Swartz for fucks sake
Yeah...
Like I said, important people, sure...
But they don't call that "gangstalking".
People that use "gang stalking" are random unimportant schizophrenics who desperately need professional medical help, but like a dehydrated rabies patient with a glass of water, the condition prevents them from taking action.
Someday you'll have to teach me to tell who's "important" ahead of time.
For real deal Hemingway level of fuckery?
Labor leaders, politicians and those close to them, journalists (almost most of all), scientists, government officials, and then anyone who has an existing megaphone whose message would reach a lot of people fast.
99.9999% of the population doesn't fall under that.
