This will be a link fest.
Over at Sigma Frame there is mention that the US government is funding anti-terrorism NGOs seeking to divert traffic away from the Red Pill Manosphere. This is a manifestation of Big Tech wokism.
This thing has been mentioned in various articles across the web. here is a recent one at ZeroHedge.
Since at least the year 2020 the Department of Homeland Security has been funding a series of woke university programs across the country. They have spent millions of dollars (that we know of) to incentivize academic groups, not with the goal of countering foreign terror elements or even to investigate US preppers and patriots, but to develop tools for disrupting what some call the “Manosphere” movement (previously known as the Red Pill movement) -- a movement focused on countering feminism and feminist propaganda.
Is arguing logically against feminism really such a threat to the nation? No, but it is a threat to the woke movement, which has been on the decline in recent years as more and more information about their ideology is scrutinized by the public.
There's an older one Headline USA.
There are also a couple of videos from targeted manosphere YouTube channels. The first one (Whatever channel) includes a panel member defending the whole thing (11.5 minutes). Is The GOVERNMENT Trying To SHUT The Whatever Podcast DOWN?!
Here's one with Rollo Tomassi at Rational Male Clips discussing his research on the issue (25 minutes). Why The MANOSPHERE Is Being TARGETED By The Feds!
Granted, these are not recommended channels; I'm not a part of that community. It's not that I dispute their basic thesis, but I don't favor their solutions. Nonetheless, you can bet I would be targeted by this kind of censorship because I have laid out an antifeminist position.
Naturally, I've already taken all the defensive actions I can possibly take without shutting down all forms of blogging. My point is that the government has already spent big wads of money on censoring at least some of what I talk about here.
