First, I haven't seen you substantiate that. Second, it's a stupid analogy. If they expect you to get arrested for a peaceful protest that wouldn't be thuggish. Third, here is a headline in the wake of Portland:Is it not true or is the interpretation too extreme? What else do you call it if a group of people has rules that require you to get arrested and be in a violent confrontation if you want to climb up the ladder? Seems pretty straightforward.
Proud Boy Leaders Tell Troops to Tone Down Threats of Violence in Portland After FBI Visit

Not sure how much experience you have with legitimate gangs and gang members over there in Belgium, but real gang members don't give a damn what the police think. They say, "Fuck you, pig", and take pride in threats of violence; including acts, not just threats, and including against police themselves.
