The one where the dude’s holding a flag pole with the American flag (really a club) and the Confederate Battle flag shield is breathtaking in its dissonance. Our nation’s flag in one hand and the symbol of a traitorous secessionist state, that ultimately failed, in the other.
? ?? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ? ?
Also this is the same group (Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys) that I argued about with some asshole on YouTube whom I called unAmerican for sympathizing with such a group. Didn’t affect him (I’m assuming it’s a he). He commented about how “awesome” it was when a member of the Proud Boys punched out a counterprotester on June 30th, who admittedly was being attacked by said counterprotester.
I took him to task for his joy at the violence. He even had the gall to imply that I was unAmerican and tried to pathetically deny that “cleansing the streets” wasn’t inherantly violent, eliminationist rhetoric.
I found it interesting that he ignored my mentioning of Republicans losing elections. Not a believer in democracy, perhaps?

These are organized groups with professional websites and online magazines. Look up the Proud Boys. They have affiliates in Canada and I believe the UK as well. They don’t believe “western” (read:white) civilization should have to apologize for little things like imperialism and colonialism. They believe that westerners should be unabashedly proud of what western civilization has done and should not be ashamed for “creating the modern world”, in their own words.
Arrogant and chauvinist, are two key words to describe this philosophy. No doubt western civilization has contributed great things to the word, but so have other cultures. And we shouldn’t ignore the wrongs of the past to focus only on the glory; doing so ignores why certain nations, ethnicities, etc are in the positions they are in today.
