Ann Coulter has a column up about the Proud Boys. Who are these "Proud Boys"? It might be well to look into that. If you go to the usual suspect sites, forget it. They'll rake the names over the coals, and it is totally one-sided.
Let them say who they are. On Gab, its says " I am a Western Chauvinist, and I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world." How you take it depends upon you. As for my reaction, I see them as an anti-dote to the massive guilt-tripping imposed upon those of us in our culture. The guilt-tripping is poisonous indeed.
But I am not a joiner. Not of Proud Boys or any other group.
Coulter relied upon them to protect her while she was in Berkley to make a speech. Without them, the speech wouldn't have happened. That says something.
Some Proud Boys were in the Capitol during the so-called Insurrection of January 6th. This is being used to criticize them, but it should be remembered that this entire event was mischaracterized and blown out of proportion. That's being very generous to the lefties out there. Maybe too generous. However, if the Proud Boys were in there, they made a mistake.
Those who describe groups like Proud Boys use the term "right" wing. I've written many times that those who use that term in reference to themselves are doing conservatism no favors. If I were to find fault, I would say that they should not associate themselves with certain kinds of language like that. With respect to Chauvinism, it is probably not a good idea to use that.
Besides the Proud Boys, I looked deeper with respect to the Oathkeepers. It seems that they were deplatformed. Their website says they were anyway, and so there isn't a lot on them. Their "About" page, they don't seem to be all that bad, so this may be just another over the top action by the left and Big Tech.
That is all for now.
