GDC-IWOC Joint Statement on Repression of Juggalos

With recent events raising the profile of the Juggalo community, many activists are beginning to realize how the government’s being capable of labeling a group a “gang” without any accountability or due process is an important issue for revolutionaries to engage in.

Not wrong.

We want to acknowledge that while there are themes in ICP’s music we support (anti-racism, anti-elitism, anti-classism), there are also problematic aspects such as misogyny and homophobia. We want to show solidarity to the Juggalos doing work around these things, and around toxic masculinity generally, while also remembering that not everyone has access to help or experience working through these issues as we do.

You gotta give the Wobblies credit on trying to grow their movement rather than jerking themselves about how enlightened they are.

The left calls it toxic masculinity, the right calls it alpha masculinity, all we can say for sure is Juggalos lack it.

Woop woop!

wtf i hate the IWW now

The IWW used to be solid citizens who had actual jobs fighting the bosses for their rights.

Nowadays every fucking socialist group has been taken over by the never-employed twenty-somethings, furries, the mentally ill, and attention whores who claim that their gender changes depending on what temperature it is outside.

The Juggalos need to be eliminated, not befriended.

lmao sure it was the "college kid assholes" that ruined the labour movement. Learn history k thx

1 GuillotinesNOW 2017-09-04

It's not working people saying that we need to ignore class struggle in favor of focusing on making sure lesbians who refuse to fuck ladyboys are called transphobes or whatever.

1 GuillotinesNOW 2017-09-04

It's not working people saying that we need to ignore class struggle in favor of focusing on super-duper important things like shaming lesbians for refusing to suck a ladyboy's dick.

MUH ESSJAYDUBYUHs filled a vacuum caused by a concerted effort to discredit and crush the labour movement during the Cold War and beyond by both government and corporate interests. You think the labour movement is run by people that you claim have no jobs?? my god you are a dumb fuck. If these upstanding workers you talk about were so upstanding they would still be fighting for equality and living wages instead of bitching about inconsequential SJWs.

Well, you can fill a vacuum with shit and it is still shit.

If you fill a vacuum with shit, it's just not still shit. It works be nothing but shit.

what does that have to do with juggalos

1 WithoutAComma 2017-09-04

This is what happens when you never leave the internet

1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2017-09-04

It was the Mafia that ruined the labor movement. Hard to cast yourself as a moral counterweight to the corporations when you're smuggling drugs and extorting construction firms.

1 ManhattanTransFur 2017-09-04

Somehow these college kid assholes have taken the workers out of every workers' movement.

Actual workers are very racist and sexist. Also, many of them own tools and trucks, which makes them labor aristocrats.

Nailed it. This is just about the best impression of /r/socialism I've ever seen.

1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2017-09-04

Which is why they shouldn't get to decide who is in power.

>commies and juggalos in one place

Can you imagine the smell?

1 MegaSeedsInYourBum 2017-09-04

I can almost taste it

1 ManhattanTransFur 2017-09-04

There is... armpit, and bussy, with a bass note of frog-pond. There is also a tangy, acid smell. It could be black tar heroin. It could be estrogen solution. I can't quite place it.

1 glmox 2017-09-04

tbh it is pretty retarded the fbi thinks juggalos are a gang

1 Fucking_Christ 2017-09-04

https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/2011-national-gang-threat-assessment

The Juggalos, a loosely-organized hybrid gang, are rapidly expanding into many US communities. Although recognized as a gang in only four states, many Juggalos subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence. Law enforcement officials in at least 21 states have identified criminal Juggalo sub-sets, according to NGIC reporting.

1 glmox 2017-09-04

so youre saying you agree with me?

1 Fucking_Christ 2017-09-04

no, it was related to what you said and i found it interesting. is this how reddit works or no

1 glmox 2017-09-04

it was interesting, but every comment reply is, by definition, either aggressively argumentative or slavishly agreeing, get with the program

1 aqouta 2017-09-04

I agree, I mean like this, I'd give you gold if it wouldn't support a website that hosts uncanned srdines. 🌚

1 wwyzzerdd 2017-09-04

The aggressive canning of aquatic life is an abuse of power and privilege by the land walkers rooted in hatred, hunger, and political subterfuge by the Kingdom of Plantae.

1 crefakis 2017-09-04

Fuck you and your thoughts

1 PressFPayRespect 2017-09-04

Considering every juggalo I know is some combination of criminal, unemployable asshole, and druggy... Meh.

Makes sense.

I am kinda pissed this shits being posted to IWW considering its rich, over century-old history, you'd think there'd be something more important or pressing atm other than the classification of fans of a shit Detroit music group in a single country. Have decorum or some shit.

1 MegaSeedsInYourBum 2017-09-04

The fucking faygo mafia

1 ManhattanTransFur 2017-09-04

Give me your juggalos, your diaper fetishists, your HAES lasses, yearning to shriek REEE

1 Chromebookbitches 2017-09-04

Cultural treatment of Juggalos has ranged from mocking to fearful, leading many people to assume Juggalos are undereducated, and possibly dangerous.

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

1 BeforeTheRobots 2017-09-04

Have we considered the possibility that juggalos ought to be oppressed?
