  Funnily enough, this leaves out Proud Boy symbolism. It lists other right wing militia symbols, including black and gold which includes the Proud Boys though.

  It’s just a list of symbols that are sometimes used by terrorist/violent extremist/agitators though, and it explicitly says their usage or identity with these groups is not enough on its own, so it isn’t as bad as the headline implies it’s still not good though by any means.

    Yeah I’d love to see a head count of violent right wing extremists just in the FBI vs violent left wing extremists in the entire country.

  Juggalos are violent extremists now, too?

    They were considered a gang by the FBI for a long time, not sure they still are but they did make the list for quite a while

    Nah, just an affront to nature and an abomination in the eyes of God.

      Most of (so-called) “Christianity” is an abomination in the eyes of God - so what’s your point?

        I’m eventually gonna make a gif of Afleck from Dogma, using fake sign language, saying “he’s a “fictional character””

  Juggalos are basically irrelevant now.

    Were they relevant when the FBI categorized them as a gang?
