They are trying to rebrand. Their OG content was fire but then classic enshitification happened.

I mean their Co-founder later created the Proud Boys so it’s had a stream of sewage running through its core since the early 1990s.

He was the front but proud boys was a fed op

EDIT: the sauce for the butthurt NPCs:

From 2018 to 2021, he was the chairman of the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.

According to a former federal prosecutor and the transcripts of a 2014 federal court proceeding, Tarrio had served as an informant to both federal and local law enforcement from 2012 to 2014.

Gavin McInnes was the co-founder of Vice; he was not an informant for the authorities.
