Blaming others for all your problems is a strong risk factor for doing violence to others. Grow up, get a fucking grip, and you'll be fine.

White male, early 20s, lives with mom and dad, writing manifestos... Why SHOULDN'T the authorities be looking at incels?

They target a lot of groups.
They target "lone-actors", most likely due to asocial behavior and more extreme view points.

It’s not fair for the government to target anyone who hasn’t broken the law.
I think it's a little fair to monitor groups that border on the edge of committing crimes to make sure they don't. If someone is going around saying they're going to kill people, even if they haven't, I'd keep a fucking eye on them.
Considering how much rhetoric incels and well known terrorist groups share, it doesn't seem unreasonable why they are included on terrorist watch lists.
Let's not forget the mass killings perpetrated by and celebrated by incels. They are an extremist group and should be monitored as such.

Yeah, the FBI has caught bombers by monitoring them before the bombers were able to break the law.
Secretely surveiled them right up until they dropped the duffel bag on the sidewalk.
My memory isn't great right now, but I think I recall reading somewhere that they catch over a hundred would-be bombers a year.
what does monitoring entail? it's one thing if the person is unaware of it but they also let the person know. that's putting them in prison without trial. also that incels = violent is charged up rhetoric meant to invalidate their perspective.
