Social Who or what are the proud boys?

By the way, this guy is a comedy goldmine

After this superb showing, he deleted his social media and then, a month later, filed with the FEC to run for president lol.

Also:

I've never wanted someone to run for political office so bad.

I've never been a part of the Proud Boys, never wanted to be a part of the Proud Boys, but I was a part of the Proud Boys

Yeah.. I'm sure that's it..

Gee.. I wonder why Nazis showed up to that rally.....

man why do white supremacists always use the most blatant propoganda type images for their promotional shit? I guess their followers are stupid enough to buy into that fear mongering imagery... it's like from a movie or somrthing

The fascist imagery has endured for the same reason that the communist imagery has endured: they're really artistically appealing. The only decent thing about the Nazis was their Queer Eye-like talent for fashion.

The big difference, of course, is that the communist imagery isn't inherently hateful: the fist and the hammer/sickle represent togetherness and the power of the farmer and laborer. They weren't designed to persecute minority groups. The same cannot be said for a lot of the Nazi imagery, most specifically the hammer smashing the Star of David.

It's the honorable Congressman Schock!

Too bad he would've had to resign anyway.

Meh, Schock is the same as any Republican: completely devoid of actual conviction and only in it for success, money, and fame. Just like Boehner who went from anti-pot crusader to pro-pot venture capitalist immediately upon resigning.

Those people on the bus are the kind of people to quote memes in real life. I hate that shit.

ANTIFA I HOPE YOU'RE WATCHING is now the new "watch this"

They're just a couple of regular guys tired of all the globalism so they go to Portland with the explicit goal of wasting the city's resources to achieve their political goals.

 

[tonni]

I'm not defending them or anything but you do realize that the whole organization was a joke conjured up by Gavin McInnes and he was making shit up on the fly. It was never meant to be anything serious.

Nah, that's what people like him want you to think, that it's all just a big troll. They hide behind a troll persona but they have actual goals and an ideology.

This is Gavin wearing a Skrewdriver t-shirt. It's a neo-nazi band. There's only one kind of people that wear those t-shirts, you can't just buy them in regular stores.

People defend him by saying "well maybe he didn't know", which is not only incredibly naive but it's also ignoring the fact that he has a neo-nazi tattoo on his arm.

The fists holding the lightning bolt is Skrewdriver's, a white supremacist neo-nazi band, logo. So he not only accidentally buys Skrewdriver t-shirts but also accidentally tattoos their logo on his arm?



Don't be fucking naive. These guys know who they are and they just hide behind disinformation and grifters like Andy Ngo to whitewash their image.

The GOP is racket and in that sense, yeah he's a dirtbag. He comes from a staunchly conservative family and was kind of thrown into politics as a teenager; was in the Illinois House of Reps by his early 20s and elected to US Congress at 27. His voting record is a damn shame, but it was more or less quietly going along with his constituency and party. His verbal rhetoric wasn't ever really publicly hypocritical or negative, not a typical closet case.

They swagger jacked a lot, but that's pretty much undeniable. There were also some seriously talented people working for the regime to enhance the cultural image: Leni Riefenstahl directing and producing cutting edge (homoerotic) propaganda films, Hugo Boss designing the Hitler Youth, Wehrmacht and SS uniforms, Richard Strauss put in charge of the state music institute, etc.

Consistent with his troll antics. Not some old candid social media photo, apparently. Also, I can't find a single instance of that symbol linked to the band Skrewdriver anywhere but in this Tweet. A hand with a lightning bolt is a pretty popular icon with no political connotations. Here's one on an American Legion lapel:


Think you've been gullible. After all, if he was into that scene, I'd expect there to be a whole lot more than one photograph (without details) in the closet. If these people were interested in really pinning Gavin down they'd track down whoever took that photograph.

Found the problem

This legit made me lmao

I hate this... thing.

I love how when all the signs point to affiliation with neo nazis, the right wing needs "more evidence"..

Attends far-right neo nazi rally - NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE
Wears neo nazi band t-shirt - NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE
Hangs out with self admitted neo nazis - NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE
Has neo nazi tattoos - NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE

Nah, they still need a full forensic investigation and if Gavin was to come out tomorrow and admit to it, the response would be "he's just trolling"

Meanwhile, a self admitted far right white supremacists who went on a murder spree targeting latinos (El Paso) or muslims (New Zealand), leaves a fucking manifesto on a far right message board outlining his very specific white supremacist views... But because someone somewhere found a post on his FB about being pro-environment, he is therefore clearly a leftist... or at best, just an ECO-TERRORIST...

Again, that tattoo isn't an established hate symbol that I can find. What you accept as evidence doesn't appear to be evidence. He married a Native American who is a former activist and an avowed liberal Democrat. Something isn't adding up.

Your unrelated rant about the El Paso shooter doesn't change the fact that he was simultaneously a far-right white nationalist and an eco-terrorist (those motives were also highlighted in his manifesto, apparently). Those aren't mutually exclusive motives.

 

[Bald1]

Didn't read the thread, just responding to the title.

They're a cross between the Ducky Boys and the Baldies but with worse fashion sense.

Started out as a joke and pushback against media hysteria about right wing groups and against political correctness but have morphed into something else. I don't know what that something else is.

Can you show me an example of where that tattoo (that specific one, fist holding a SINGLE lightning bolt) shows up other than nazi affiliated things? And how likely is that connection given all the other evidence?
Also, marrying a native american doesn't necessarily prove anything, Milo lopoulos fucks black dudes but is best friends with Richard Spencer. "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" does not really count as valid evidence this day and age
