The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist organization that admits only men as members and promotes political violence. The group takes its name from the song “Proud of Your Boy”, written for the Disney film Aladdin. The group was started in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes. Proud Boys emerged as part of the alt-right, but in early 2017, McInnes began distancing himself from the alt-right, saying the alt-right’s focus is race while his focus is what he defines as “Western values”. This re-branding effort intensified after the Unite the Right Rally.

The group sees men – especially white men – and Western culture as under siege; their views have elements of white genocide conspiracy theory. While the group claims it does not support white supremacist views, its members often participate in racist rallies, events, and organizations. The organization glorifies violence, and members engage in violence at events it attends; the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has called it an “alt-right fight club”.

The Proud Boys have a presence in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

Wikipedia??? Do you know who now edits and writes for them? Political leftists. Have you not noticed that Wikipedia articles on conservative groups are mostly negative, while articles on leftists are positive? When I read their Hillary Clinton bio, I would have sworn the info therein had been written by her campaign. Read Brett Kavanaugh’s page. It’s pretty hard to find anything negative to say about him, but they managed to get their licks in, casting any conservative leaning decision or action, as a negative. They had to include his stellar accomplishments, else they would have had nothing to write, but as I said, they got their licks in, including NOT mentioning any of the negatives about Blasey Ford, but leaving the impression that she told the truth, hanging there. Contrast his bio with Blasey Ford’s. Her bio implies that everything she testified to was true. There is no intimation of any kind that she was lying.
Yeah, Wikipedia has been hijacked by liberals.

Proud Boys have been protecting defenseless grandma from Antifa thugs.

Show some respect. Proud Boys are real men with balls.

We are all just whimpy metro sexual commenters in comparison.

That Wikipedia article has been compromised. Don’t believe a word of it. The main editor of the article is an open supporter of antifa, just check out his Wikipedia profile. If you want to know about the Proud Boys, you need to find work by independent journalists and watch videos of their members and judge for yourself.
