I’ll save you ten minutes. Proud boys are rebranded Neo-Nazis. There, that was easy.
New Zealand knows what they are.
Seems strange that the US can’t seem to agree.
They are listed as a Terrorist Entity by the Canadian government as well.
…enemies, domestic.
They and their ilk (e.g. Patriot Front) are just these guys with updated gear, in Uhauls, in colour.
White terrorists always get an easy ride in America.
It’s just so crazy that there is even a news designation of “extremist beat” in the first place.
Can we have more of the nice things from the US please.
The parallels to the Nazi Brownshirts are difficult to ignore. This has all happened before…
On a different note, I can’t wrap my head around the stupidity of the “Anti-antifa” shirt being worn in that clip. There’s an “anti-communist” symbol below it. It’s like the person who designed that (and the tool who bought it) don’t know what any of these words mean. Yet they believe so strongly in… whatever this is… that they will go to war over it.
It’s meaningless misdirected toxic masculinity all summarized in one nonsensical T-shirt.
Once you let them hang around to “help out”, you’ll never get rid of them.
