The Proud Boys was founded as a fraternity that supports the American Republic. Proud Boys support the American Capitalist ideology. Proud Boys have been deemed as Fascist, this is incorrect. Noble hobbs (talk) 18:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How does one provide a source contrary to an intangible and subjective viewpoint? 71.200.185.203 (talk) 18:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd read that link to our reliable sources policy, that would clear it up. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 18:18, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Symbolism

The Proud Boys often use a Rooster, sometimes painted red, white, and blue, as a semiotic. Can we add [https://www.yahoo.com/news/does-proud-boys-rooster-symbol-154604566.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGrH2J3orOcm7NhafVdNa5idawxVqD-w7V6Qtw-pukMtThy_B9Wy88ZLSjo4QM9BdIjE0c4yHJFQf3qF6yPrkInB6Sj8pupF_DQpfgeWoI_3Cgc7D0kQuEDjVrzypzqiE-T5Z3uNLZHt1nrNlCNvXbcXJ30f0DkeGuyIAF7OZhTE this citation? Bearian (talk) 18:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually already cited in the article, using the original Independent link rather than Yahoo's wrapper around it. See cite 15. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 18:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure best way to integrate information

Hi all, I am reading a review article: Alt-right gangs and far-right extremists: From the margins to the mainstream which notes in the abstract "The misconception that alt-right gangs [(e.g., Proud Boys)] are domestic terrorist organizations, primarily driven by racist ideology, ignores just how unrefined and rudimentary the beliefs that connect members together actually are." I'm unsure where in the article this would fit. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 02:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of a website URL

I believe we should add the Proud Boys' site's URL to the "Quick Facts" section. 207.253.171.59 (talk) 18:09, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the template on the right? I don't think it makes sense; they're not primarily known for it and it wouldn't provide much useful information as a result. In fact, the only mention of the website of the article is an offhand quote saying that it hasn't been updated in over a year and a half. --Aquillion (talk) 20:50, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Change everything on this page to an accurate and factual description of the Proud Boys.

Here is the appropriate description of this group:

"We are not a political group.

We are a fraternal brotherhood like the Elk’s Lodge or the Shriners. We are multi-racial group with conservative and libertarian inclinations. We welcome men of all races, straight or gay, into our membership. The only non-negotiable rule is that you are a Western Chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world. The majority of our members are politically right-wing, but this is not a requirement. We disavow communists, Nazis, racists and other violent extremists. We will allow weak, beta-male virgins to join as long they attempt to elevate their status. Our fraternity is about helping men improve their lives. That goes for all men. However, if a prospective Proud Boy refuses to step up to the plate; if he doesn’t heed our advice and try to improve his lot; if he doesn’t assimilate and engage with the group, he will be asked to leave.

Many Proud Boys engage in acts of service to their community. This is not a requirement, but highly encouraged. We have assisted churches, veterans organizations, business owners and many others. Men who seek to reinstate a spirit of western chauvinism know that it requires action. That action can take many forms. Some men are active, visibly in the community, others are setting the example with everything they do. Their family, business, and social lives as well as bonding within this brotherhood are their action. Proud Boys love, live and exemplify the phrase “The West is The Best”!" 2600:1011:B1CD:E4E3:91C9:DDF1:3390:7BFB (talk) 20:42, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we'll just name you as the main person in the upcoming defamation lawsuit. The current content on this page is defamatory and absolutely incorrect. We'll be in touch soon. 2600:1011:B1CD:E4E3:91C9:DDF1:3390:7BFB (talk) 20:55, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
