It's thinking that every single little inconvenience in your life is an organized attack on your sanity. It's paranoid schizophrenia.

Yeah those people in the VICE piece are legitimate schizophrenics; what I don't understand is just how widespread some of these conspiracies are- which makes me think there's a huge undiagnosed schizophrenic-prone population. Although that's basically the point of the VICE video. One of those guys even rationalizes his paranoia by pointing out there's a huge number of these like-minded people.

Me and some friends are looking to disrupt the gang stalking industry with our new app Stalkr, its a Mechanical Turk like platform where you can elect to take on small tasks to interfere with the lives of people around you

As a customer you simply pick out your target, and choose from a suite of different gang stalking options

All part of the gangstalking plan, invent the gig economy to make it easier to recruit cheap gangstalkers. You don't need them full time anyways.

These same feelings that alleged gangstalker victims talk about are also experienced when dealing with passive aggressive people that intentionally try to mindfuck others under plausible deniability, and the sort of people that do that kind of thing are far too common.

I went to a lovely store in Ontario, Canada called "Big Boy's With Cool Toys" and the manager said he didn't have any. I immediately walked to the back and found a home security section with video cameras. I took a photo of the home video equipment with my phone and immediately the power in the store blacked out

The apsotrophe is REAL!! Seriously, though, why would you go to an actual toy and hobby store to get home security equipment? Did you actually think they'd have the best selection? If I were in the market for some cold cuts, I wouldn't start at the library.

Yeah and they don't really seem to have security cameras, so the dude was right. The cameras they have seem to be more geared towards electronics hobbyists who are going to build something with a camera on it, and cameras for mounting on a drone (once again, electronics hobbyist poo poo).

I've seen security cameras at Target that would be better for what OP is looking for... and cheaper, too.

I went to the very back and they did indeed have home security cameras. The power in the store literally shut off when I began recording on my phone.

GBS used to be smart because it was anti mainstream. Most people are dumb and they think gangstalking does not exist. Doesn't that surmise there must be something to the concept?

Although, it's fun to read itt, you can't argue away paranoid schizophrenia with rational arguments. You can't apply logic to crazy. Case in point:

OP go to bed and sleep in for a nice long time, maybe 10-12 hours. Take a bath with a nice bath bomb, a good, toasty warm bath.

Then when you feel all set and comfy call a therapist or psych office.

I literally searched the website for cameras and there were no security cameras. :shrug:

Also, most people don't pick up dogshit off the ground and smear it under their nostrils. That doesn't mean there's something to the concept.

Why would people be following you around? Doesn't it make more sense that your perception is flawed in perceiving people following and observing you, even if it's hard to accept? Who pays tens of thousands of people to gangstalk others when there is no profit to be made, or any goal otherwise?

The best thing is that shooting guns in an indoor gun range actually causes lead poisoning. So paranoid, insecure people buy guns, shoot them off, get lead particles everywhere, breath them in, get them on their hands/mouth and then go eat a sandwich or something and ingest it, and gradually get crazier and more and more paranoid.

It's a perfect recipe for the fall of an empire.
