If you’re “based,” you may be on Democratic Attorney General Merrick Garland’s watchlist. The Daily Signal reports that the FBI has created a glossary of terms it uses to identify domestic terrorists, usually of the white supremacist variety.
The FBI’s flagged terms include words like “redpilled,” “based,” “looksmaxxing,” the names “Chad” and “Stacey,” as well as phrases that include the terms “it’s over” and “just be first.”
“Such words and phrases have come to be code for certain extremists who communicate online with others like them, according to the FBI’s glossary of words indicating ‘racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism’ and a list of ‘key terms’ about ‘involuntary celibate violent extremism.’”

As with most things under President Joe Biden, the FBI’s list doesn’t make sense.
“Many of the terms on the list of words the FBI is watching out for could be used with no context involving race or extremist views,” the Daily Signal reported.
The FBI glossary, for example, explains that “based” means “someone who has been converted to racist ideology.”

Meanwhile, taking the “red pill” or being “redpilled” means someone is “accepting racist, antisemitic or fascist beliefs,” according to the FBI.
Yet to incels, a “red pill” means “society is corrupt,” the Daily Signal reported.
As for the names “Chad” and “Stacey,” in FBI land Chad is actually a “race-specific term used to describe an idealized version of a male who is successful at gaining sexual and romantic attention from women,” with a female counterpart of this is known as “Stacey.”
And “looksmaxxing” simply indicates an “intent to become more attractive,” the FBI reports, although the term “just be first” seems to be jargon among “incels” for targeting minors for sex.
The FBI’s crack analysts have also determined that the use of the term “rope” means “committing suicide by hanging.”

In response, the Heritage Foundation, which oversees the Daily Signal, noted in a tweet, “Docs we obtained show how @FBI equates protected online speech to violence.”
In Biden’s world, everything is violence except actual violence.
