YouTube bans Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes
The Hill ^ | 12/10/18 | Hayley Miller

Posted on 12/10/2018 2:44:43 PM PST by Blue House Sue

Far-right activist Gavin McInnes has been kicked off YouTube, the latest social media platform to cut ties with him or his group, the Proud Boys.

The Daily Beast reported Monday that YouTube has banned McGinnes, who had more than 220,000 subscribers before the ban.

A statement on McInnes's YouTube page says that the channel has been terminated after “multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement.”

"When a copyright holder notifies us of a video that infringes on their copyright, we act quickly to remove content as is required of us by law," a YouTube spokesperson told The Hill. "We terminate the accounts of repeat offenders."

He often puts titles like that on his videos that are words taken out of context because he’s mocking how the MSM always takes his words out of context. He’s making money off of being banned from platforms like youtube and twitter now. They’re pretty close to completely de-platforming him now. Sad. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I’ll fight like hell for his right to say it.

This is why conservatives are losing.

Conservatives are losing because they don't support queers like the log cabin fairies?

Really?

How many fairies do you think there are?

Losing? Conservatives?

I know what log cabin republicans are. Don’t know, don’t care what a Proud Boy is.

But I do know this. Conservatism is NOT going to stand or fall based on some fringe nobodies.

What on earth do Log Cabin Republicans have to do with Gavin McInnes or the Proud Boys?

Not a damn thing. Pull your head out of your ass. You don't even know who the fighters on our side are and that's why conservatives are losing.

Wow... somebody’s a bit touchy.

We’re not the ones destroying our ideology, our beliefs, selling out our entire souls and accepting violence and totalitarianism to win - YOU ARE.

The "fringe nobodies" are the ones out there in the streets fighting leftists, unlike the geriatric keyboard commandos here on ever-shrinking Free Republic.

We stand or fall based on who is out there fighting. McInness is out there fighting. The Proud Boys are out there fighting.

They were mentioned upthread, that's what.

Pull your head out of your ass.

I'm able to read comments upthread, but you seem unable.
Perhaps your own ass is in the way.

You don't even know who the fighters on our side are and that's why conservatives are losing.

So if I learn who the fighters are then conservatives will win?
I'm important.

Wiki....

Membership

The Proud Boys say they have an initiation process that has four stages and includes hazing. The first stage is a loyalty oath, the second is getting punched until the person recites pop culture trivia, the third is getting a tattoo and agreeing to not masturbate, and the fourth is getting into a major fight “for the cause.”

You are right, it does sound gay

‘Proud Boys’ sounds like a far right group named by a democrat think tank

No grown adult conservative male would ever refer to himself as a ‘boy’, sorry not buying it.

Sounds like buying a car.

See post 29 and tell me something.

How many times were YOU punched until you recited some pop culture trivia?

And WHO? Who in the Proud Boys group makes sure YOU don’t masturbate?

Or are you in charge of overseeing others and their non masturbatory habits?

I said these are fringe nobodies. They are worse than that. They remind me of that screaming faggot from a year or so back, calling himself a conservative, and getting the crap beat outta him on college campuses.

Look. This is NOT what conservatism stands for.

The Proud Boys are a men’s organization founded in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes. McInnes has described the Proud Boys as a pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world; aka Western Chauvinists.

Proud Boys‘ values center on the following tenets:

Minimal Government
Maximum Freedom
Anti-Political Correctness
Anti-Drug War
Closed Borders
Anti-Racial Guilt
Anti-Racism
Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment)
Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment)
Glorifying the Entrepreneur
Venerating the Housewife
Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism
