Title : Gangstalking is real, should be studied
Abstract:
Gangstalking is a much mischaracterized and neglected psychosocial phenomenon. It described in the literature overwhelmingly as a delusional disorder. It is sometimes conflated with social justice activism, victimhood and woke movement such as #MeToo when “gangs” of activists or alleged self-imputed victims target individuals cast as evil perpetrators. Alternatively, gangstalking has been attributed to deep state structures and featured in other conspiracy theories, such as Qanon. This expansive redefinition of gangstalking has given it a bad rep and caused academics to shy away from it.
Thus, people who claim to be gangstalked are cast as delusional, paranoid, psychotic, grandiose or narcissistic, and worse. There has been no in-depth study of the veracity of the claims the victims of gangstalking because its very existence has been widely and invariably discredited.
However, occasionally, gangstalking is real, it does occur. I will describe ten environments, settings, and circumstances that give rise to the orchestrated activity colloquially known as gangstalking.
