Yes I’m not scared or something, but I’m just sorry for the people who actually support a cause with their heart and for this reason they get expelled from the country, lose their job etc

Not necessarily the same targets but they clearly have both the ability and motive to do such surveillance and many agencies have been implicated in massive spying programs and other surveillance and information operations, so it’s reasonable to think that some of them are doing what you say as well.

Always have been. And discrediting people as mentally ill is part of the strategy, as can been seen with the example of Ernest Hemmingway, whose FBI surveillance likely contributed to his eventual suicide

Does not mean to be paranoid, but you should always be watchful.

They have an army of trolls for that. There’s legitimately a troll farm that is just there to…troll you.
