Right click, open in private window. Otherwise pebkac.

"The leader of the Proud Boys, choked off from the financial system, is printing “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts to make money."

Mansions aint free.

Thousands of people present and NYT reckons only 16 of them were proud boys, 10 of which have been charged. Doesn't sound like much of a presence from a group that numbers in their tens of thousands. Almost as if the order from the top was to not attend!

Please add a further $10aud to my account for setting you straight.

So you neglected to actually read the story, obviously.

Of the 22 charged with conspiracy, not the thousands present.

"The groups differ in their focus and tactics, but conspiracy charges indicate that members of both may have worked together. Of the 22 people charged with conspiracy crimes, 18 were known to have ties to one of those two groups."

and then it goes on
"More than a third of the militants were also known to have military experience, a far higher proportion than in the crowd as a whole. Of the 31 group members who have been charged so far, at least 11 had a military record. This may have been intentional."

The devil is always in the writing.
That's why you should read it.

so over in the US the Proud Boys are rocking up to any event that has drag queens to "attack the groomers" and the cops are generally there to stop the Proud Boys from being harassed by the people that show up to stop it/film them

good times



also having fun with their anti abortion stance over here

They should change their name to White Taliban.

They should change their name to White Taliban.

But they're proud Christian fascists

 

[Cyg1992]

Same shit different smell.

 

[Gralin]

Same s**t different smell.

I think it's worth calling them what they are though.
The whole white Taliban thing is kind of blaming Islam/acting like this isn't normal western Extremism. Shit even calling it extremism kind of excuses every day colonial white supremacy for its role in this.

That’s a good name for a band tbh

I know what you mean, and I agree. But to them and the simpletons that support and/or sympathise with them, being compared to brown Muslims is incredibly triggering.

As hypocritical as it is because wishing for a theocracy and trying to force it through with violence and intimidation like they are, is exactly what they claim to detest from the various Islamic terror groups.
Only difference is that it's a different recount of the sky fairy.

I'd insert the old El Paso taco ad girl meme here and say why not both?
Bring attention to and expose white colonialism's role in it, as well as other forms of Western imperialism, particularly that of their country, and also call them the White Taliban, evangelical al Qaeda, etc purely to ruffle their tender little feathers

I agree!

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He parroted so many of the Big Footy 'alphas' from across the years

 

[Pie eyed]

LOL at the US Police just running away from a run of the mill scuffle.

The US has got "rent-a-cop" down pat.

I knew John Connor would be back.

 

[Lethality]

I think it's appalling, and it's revisiting the reeducation camps of the cultural revolution. My in-laws were directly impacted by that, and it's s**t I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.

What I find laughable though is people like FireKrakouer caring now. 5 years ago they didn't give a s**t because it was Muslims undergoing the indoctrination. Now we are in the Trumpian trade war with china, they suddenly give a s**t.

Call me cynical, but watch them get labelled as terrorists again the minute the trade war ends

The biggest victims of Muslims or Islam have always been Muslims, therefore criticism of Muslims and Islam is consistent with criticism of China's treatment of Uyghurs.

The Proud Boys are White terrorists.
There's no tippy toeing around that.
Anyone of them would replicate the Christchurch shootings.

You're going in to bat for Enrique Tarrio? You think being of Cuban heritage is any impediment to being an ethno-nationalist police informant?

And are you a member of the Proud Boys?

No. I’m just stating his heritage.Afro Cubin and a leader of a so called white supremacist group!
Something sound odd here?

You think you have to be white to promote white supremacy?
You think white supremacy groups won't work with people that will end up on the heap if they do gain power?

I don’t know much about the proud boys but extremist groups have been playing the “promote the conforming minority” parlour trick forever. It’s just to wrong-foot anyone who criticises them.
