    They’ll never stop. They need to be added to the FBI’s list of gangs/extremist organizations.

      If you’re waiting for the FBI to suppress right wing paramilitary groups, you’re in for a predictable disappointment. We keep each other safe from these fuckers by showing up and backing them down.

        I’ve been out there and was called a “race traitor” for filming a black woman at a protest. Trust me I don’t need to be educated on how dangerous they are lol

      If they aren’t being watched already, the FBI is compromised

        FBI has been infiltrated by far right groups, especially white supremacists, for several decades. It probably HAS gotten worse since literal fascism became mainstream, though…

          Here in Germany the far right has infiltrated police and military, but nothing really seems to happen to counteract it.

            J Edgar Hoover? Nah, he hated communists and enthusiastically supported South American, Middle Eastern, and African fascist dictators. As was the style at the time (and more or less secretly still is).

    I always felt the name “Proud Boys” made them sound like a bunch of toddlers, who just made poo-poo in the potty for the very first time!

    Look what I made, Mommy!

      They were literally named after a song lyric from the movie “Aladdin.” You get “beat in” to the group by having your cohorts hit you until you can name 5 boxes of cereal. Masturbating is strictly prohibited, and the founder once fucked himself in the ass with a dildo on a live stream to prove they were not “homophobic.”

      I made up zero of these things. These are all real proud boy facts.

        Damn, I’d never heard the Aladdin thing before. I really didn’t believe that I could think less of this clown, but there you go. Making fun of a little kid at a music recital. There’s just no evil too petty for these people to indulge in.

        We’re called Proud Boys because I went to one of my kids’ music recitals and some ponce got up there and while everyone’s playing the piano and the violin and doing stuff they tried, he gets up and he goes, “Proud of your boy, I’ll make you proud of your boy.” It’s some song from “Aladdin.” And I was looking around for the dad because I thought there’s no way this dad is proud of his boy, and of course, he was the child of a single mom…duh! His mother told him, yes sing a song, that’s a talent, and there was no dad to say no you’re not, play the piano for christ’s sakes.

          I thought he was making all of them until I got to the last one. I knew that was true because I saw it and was very confused. 😂

          I had to go reread the rest because I didn’t remember anything I just read.

    Clicked on the article thinking “did they lose weight and become scary?”. Scrolled to the pictures… Nope.

    If this is the right wing’s army, I am far from afraid.

      I mean they look goofy for sure but being fit isn’t a requirement to kill people, and even if it were the right doesn’t have monopoly on being overweight.

        That cuts both ways. They’re not the only ones with guns and I’m thin enough to hide behind cover

        the right doesn’t have monopoly on being overweight.

        Maybe not but they have the dominant market share in obesity with the Proud Boys.
