"Some groups like the Proud Boys have initiation rituals that include violent hazing and require an oath of fealty to Western culture. Their followers thrive on hyper-masculinity and celebrate when one of their brethren hits a leftist agitator."

Have you actually seen the initiation rituals for Proud Boys?  Please answer.  I can show you one.  

It is NOTHING like that which the New York Times writes about.  They are obviously a biased source.  Which is fine.  Every reporter and news outlet has a bias.  But they can be wrong.  

You told me you won't listen to Gavin explain the lawsuits and how media outlets have printed lies about him.

The Proud Boys are multi-racial.  The New York Times suggested they were white only.  Which is empirically false.  Gavin has multi-racial children.  He is fine with non-whites, homosexuals and Muslims joining his group.

Other news outlets have removed their articles.   The New York Times was one that actually apologized and admitted their error.
