I am obviously a huge Stroud fan, and get that you aren’t supporting the group, or saying you agree with their views, but still referencing them brings attention to the group and is pretty cringe.

If the Vikings fans called themselves Kirk Kousins Kids, or chiefs Kadarius Kelce Killers, or Arryn Rodger’s Nationals people wouldn’t be chill about it.

Just because the “Proud Boys” have a stupid name doesn’t mean they aren’t a huge hate group and using their name to represent us is dumb and makes us look bad.

    I couldn’t care less about the “Proud Boys” but I do care about semblance of accuracy.

    You can easily do a bit of actual research and realize this isn’t true at all

    Imo you’re just repeating some stuff you heard one time from someone who you think “knows their stuff” …

    The whole Proud Boys thing has much less nefarious origins.

    That said, I don’t care either way

    But I also can’t walk by if I’m listening to someone attempting to educate people about WW2 and claiming it began in 1951 Wisconsin
