When I was in CPEP, there was a dude there who quoted things at me that I said on Discord. Gangstalking is definitely a real phenomenon, but I kind of separate that in my mind from government and vigilante operations. To me, gangstalking would be stuff like kiwifarms. What I was involved in seemed more like vigilante crap. At some point someone said they were the people who got revenge against people who don't deserve what they have and then they started taunting me about stuff I said to my mom in the privacy of our own home (though we had an Alexa at the time). We definitely live in dangerous times. Between governments, corporations, lolcow forums, vigilante groups, and crime organizations, there's a lot of people who want to and have the resources to spy on people.
