What are "Proud-Boys" again ?

[–] formergijoe 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They are an American far-right group that beat an initiate until they can name 5 cereal brands for their initiation ritual, can't masturbate more than once every 30 days, and are named after a deleted song from Disney's Aladdin movie which is also their club song, and are against "feminization" of American men.

When asked in a 2020 debate if Trump would publicly condem them he told them to "Stand down and stand by."

I have not made up any of those facts.

I...

(According to wikipedia: yes, this checks out.)

The Proud Boys, an American far-right neo-fascist group, derived their name from the song.

This is definitely the weirdest fucking timeline.

I told you, I did not make any of that up. They're a bunch of weird little guys.

It sounds like a name for a boy band. Sort of like backstreet boys, but more gay.
