A newly exposed section of the FBI domestic terrorism reference guide suggests that the use of the internet slang words "red-pilled" and "based," among others, might be suggestive of a user's proclivity for or involvement in racist, involuntary-celibate, and/or fascistic extremism.

Inside this section are glossaries of terms allegedly used by criminal elements in these supposed groups.

The following are some of the "key terms" incels are wont to use, according to the FBI:

• Chad — "Race-specific term used to describe idealized version of a male, who is very successful at gaining sexual and romantic attention from women. Incels unsuccessfully compete against Chads for attention";
• Looksmaxxing — "The process of self-improvement with the intent to become more attractive";
• Normie; Blue Pill — "Derisive terms used to describe 'normal people'"; and
• Stacy — "Idealized version of a female, who is very successful at gaining sexual and romantic attention from men."

The following are some of the "key terms" RMVEs are wont to use, according to the FBI:

• Based — "RMVEs use the term to refer to someone who has been converted to racist ideology, or as a way of indicating ideological agreement";
• Great Replacement — "First popularized among European nationalists based on a 2005 book of the same title, the term refers to the belief in a conspiracy to replace the white race and Western culture through high non-white birth rates, mass immigration, and other measures";
• Red Pill — "In the context of RMVE ideology, taking the red pill or becoming 'redpilled' indicates the adoption of racist, anti-Semitic, or fascist beliefs"; and
• LARPing — "A term which stands for 'Live Action Role-Playing' originally meant to describe a role-playing game in which participants act out their roles as fictional characters. RMVEs and their associates use the term online to deride individuals accused of not being as extreme, or in possession of skills or other valued characteristics, they claim to have."

\u201cNEW: Docs we obtained show how @FBI equates protected online speech to violence. \n\nAccording to @FBI using the terms \u201cbased\u201d or \u201cred pilled\u201d are signs of "Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism"\u201d

Whereas some terms and phrases in the FBI's glossaries, such as "Blood and Soil," have an undeniable historical link to identitarian and nationalist socialist movements, the terms "red pill," "Chad," "LARPing," and "based" are used widely and innocuously online.

According to Know Your Meme, "Chad" is a "universally understood term online," optimally employed when referring to a person with a carefree attitude, "particularly if they're doing something particularly badass."

USA Today noted that "these days, a Chad would be a hyper-masculine and overtly sexual young man."

Caleb Madison indicated in the Atlantic that "Red Pill" is a cultural artifact from "The Matrix," wherein the character Morpheus offers the protagonist, Neo, a choice: "You take the blue pill ... the story ends — you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

Employed in everyday speech, to take the red pill or to be passively "red-pilled" is to ultimately realize that one was previously wrong or in the dark about about some consequential fact/reality.

How-To Geek indicated that "based" is similarly far from being a word singularly used by rabid identitarians and closeted fascists: "In Internet slang, a 'based' person or opinion is one that is confident, free-thinking, and not influenced by the opinion of others."

"Based, as a general slang word, originated from the 1980s recreational drug culture. It was used to describe someone who used crack cocaine and is derived from freebasing, a specific method of taking the drug. Someone who was 'Based' or a 'Basehead' was a person addicted to crack," continued the definition.

In addition to associating common internet slang with extremists, the FBI has also raised the alarm about Roman Catholic orthodoxy.

TheBlaze previously reported that in January, the FBI's Richmond field office published a document titled, "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities."

Despite the Catholic Church spanning the globe, condemning slavery nearly a century before Columbus' discovery of America, and emphatically denouncing racism, the FBI reportedly claimed that it had "increasingly observed interest of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists in radical traditionalist Catholic ideology."

If it exists, then the FBI's glossary of supposedly extremist Catholic terms and phrases has yet to be publicized.
