The Proud Boys are a far-right, neo-fascist organization that openly admits to only allowing men as members and promoting political violence
This is what the average person would say after one Google search, reading a page off of Wikipedia without doing any additional research.
Which is why I wanted to give you a better look as to what this organization all about. Hopefully, this article will answer the question of WHAT the Proud Boys are not just WHO they are.
The Proud Boys embrace an ancient ritual that the Romans, the Spartans, the Samurai, Pirates, the Military, and even the Disciples of Jesus Christ have been practicing for hundreds of thousands of years called
Brotherhood.
What is brotherhood? Its important to understand WHAT brotherhood is all about if were going to understand what the Proud Boys are
Put simply, a brotherhood is an association, society, or community of people linked by a common interest, religion, or trade.
In the case of the Proud Boys, their common interests are built on a foundation of political ideology.
Their values are rooted in libertarianism but have been skewed to fit the mainstream medias agenda. They insist on labeling any organization that is pro-Trump or leans to the Right as a white supremacist or Neo-fascist organization which, in the Proud Boys case, COULDNT be farther from the truth.
The core of the Proud Boys ideology is as follows
The Proud Boys do not discriminate based upon race, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation/preference
In fact, one of the most prominent members and the current chairman of the Proud Boys is Enrique Tarrio, an American of Afro-Cuban descent.
The only rules to join are that you must be a born-male and accept that the West is the best.
Founder Gavin McInnes even explained that The Far-Left and Far-Right who hate usand want to kill us, by the waykeep taunting to come to the dark side, BUT ITS NOT WHO WE ARE!
While the organization has been labeled as Nazis over and over by misinformed and biased journalists, theyve NEVER been CLOSE to deserving that label
Even so, all the negative press caused McInnes to step down as President of the group after which they elected Tarrio.
Which blows the Lefts whole neo-Nazi theory right out of the water.
Think about it
How can an organization that has a minority leader be labeled as a white supremacist groupESPECIALLY given that ALL the Proud Boy leaders voted for him?
The only argument here is that the mainstream media continually pushes to label the Proud Boys as a Fascist group in order to preserve ANTIFAs reputation as the lapdog of the Left
And now, ANTIFA is an ACTUAL terrorist organization.
The Proud Boys are still THRIVING even after social media giants completely banned them from their platforms and having the talking heads of the Liberal media machine smearing them on a daily basis.
Hell, the Southern Poverty Law Center even labeled them as domestic terrorists even though the FBI has disagreed showing no evidence to support that claim whatsoever.
But still, the Boys are seen as a political gang from people around the United States, including big corporations and banks.
On Feb 10, 2019, Enrique Tarrio was kicked off Chases banking platform for his affiliation with Proud Boys
How can this happen? He didnt violate any guidelines or service agreements but nonetheless, was still removed for simply being an outspoken conservative voice.
I actually was the first person to interview Enrique on the subject after building a relationship with the chairman and proving to have the ability to give a fair interview.
I am not victimizing myself I am just sharing my story, Enrique stated Its not just card processing platforms and banks I have been de-platformed from. I have also been banned from AirBnB, Coin Base commerce and those are 2 services I have never used I just signed up for them. But its all connected through my Facebook account, which lets them know who I am. (you can see that interview HERE.)
Apparently, the guidelines that were broken that lead to the Chairmans abrupt and forced departure was the hate speech and hate group guidelines.
However, if the banks and corporations did just a LITTLE research, theyd have known that the only things that the Proud Boys hate are Communism, Socialism, and Political Correctness.
But maybe were missing something here?
Maybe if we got a closer look maybe if we could get a view from the inside we could see what theyre TRULY about and who they truly are.
What does it take to become a Proud Boy? Are there crazy initiation ceremonies? Is there hazing?
Are they getting jumped in and beaten until they are unconscious, then having to prove loyalty by murder or rape like Ms13?
Are they killing a Black or Hispanic prisoner like the Aryan Brotherhood?
Nope
Theyre not doing ANY of that. To become a Proud Boy, you simply need to say, I (state your name) am a Proud Western Chauvinist & I do not apologize for creating the modern world.
Oh and then yell UHURU! afterward (Uhuru means freedomin Swahili.)
As far as ranks go, there are only three levels
Rank 1: Repeat the chant by a Proud Boy chapter leader
Rank 2: You must get punched by five dudes above the belt and below the face until you can name five breakfast cereals
Rank 3: You must get a Proud Boy tattoo and quit masturbation.
But
Im going to let you in on something very few people know: theres a SECRET 4th level that they dont like to talk about publically
Rank 4: Defending yourself against Leftist domestic terrorists.
Thats IT!
THIS IS THE TERROR YOUVE BEEN WARNED ABOUT?!
A group that has been attacked and smeared more times than they have ever attacked anyone else
A group that is hated and seen as a nuisance by heavily-biased, Leftist-controlled media who even now are doing their best to smear two Proud Boys who have been convicted of assault on an ANTIFA member even AFTER it was revealed that their fighting was an act of self-defense! (Video evidence of WHO started the brawl HERE.)
Theyre facing a maximum of 20 years, while ANTIFA gets away scot-free.
Apparently, the biased media also infects the judicial system.
PATRIOTS go to jail and the aggressors are the VICTIMS.
Regardless, I hope this gives you a better idea of WHAT the Proud Boys are
Theyre us. Theyre patriots who have a deep love for their country and way of life. Id like to think theres a little Proud Boy living in ALL of us he just needs to be woken up.
