Book Description
A gripping investigation into the nation’s most notorious far-right group, revealing how they created a new blueprint for extremism and turned American politics into a blood sport After the 2016 election, Americans witnessed a frightening trend: the sudden rise of a host of new extremist groups across the country. Emboldened by a new president, they flooded political rallies and built fervent online presences, expanding rapidly until they were a regular sight at everyday demonstrations. Amid the chaos, one group emerged as a leader among the others, with matching outfits, bizarre rituals, and a reputation for violence: the Proud Boys. From leading extremism reporter Andy Campbell, We Are Proud Boys is the definitive narrative exploration of this notorious street gang and all the far-right movements they’re connected to. Through groundbreaking new reporting, Campbell delivers the untold story of a gang of blundering, punch-happy goons who grew to become the centerpiece of American extremism and positioned themselves as the unofficial enforcement arm of the GOP. Beginning with their founding by Gavin McInnes, the media personality best known for co-founding VICE, Campbell takes us deep into the Proud Boys, laying bare their origins and their rise to prominence. As he exposes the group's noxious culture and strange rituals, he reveals how the ultimate project of the Proud Boys–to desensitize Americans to political violence–has succeeded entirely, culminating with Republicans calling the January 6 insurrection "legitimate political discourse." The bizarre, frightening story of the Proud Boys reveals the playbook they have created for domestic extremism, giving us the necessary insight to push back against radicalism in America before it swallows our democracy whole.

Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate
Author: Alexandra Minna Stern
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807063363
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
What is the alt-right? What do they believe, and how did they take center stage in the American social and political consciousness? Historian Alexandra Minna Stern excavates the alt-right memes that have erupted online and digs to the root of the far right’s motivations: their deep-seated fear of an oncoming “white genocide” that can only be remedied through aggressive action to reclaim white power. The alt-right has expanded significantly throughout America’s cultural, political, and digital landscapes: racist, sexist, and homophobic beliefs that were previously unspeakable have become commonplace, normalized, and accepted—endangering American democracy and society as a whole. When asked to address the Proud Boys and growing far right violence, President Trump directed the group to “stand back and stand by;” and just two weeks before President Joe Biden’s inauguration, a white supremacist mob breached the US Capitol—earning praise from the Proud Boys leader amongst threats of future violence. In order to dismantle the destructive movement that has invaded our public consciousness and threatens American democracy, we must first understand the core beliefs that drive the alt-right. Through careful analysis, Stern brings awareness to the underlying concepts that guide the alt-right and its overlapping forms of racism, xenophobia, and transphobia. She explains the key ideas of “red-pilling,” strategic trolling, gender essentialism, and the alt-right’s ultimate fantasy: a future where minorities have been “cleansed” from the body politic and a white ethnostate is established in the United States. By unearthing the hidden mechanisms that power white nationalism, Stern reveals just how pervasive the far right truly is.

Pages : 40
Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I hate politicians, I hate the media, I hate comedy, and I hate cucks (or cuckold). The Proud Boys are men who love me. Gavin McInnes loves two things: hating black people and mocking women. He loves America, but hates what it has become. He is a reactionary who’s always been against—and he hates losing power. The Proud Boys at one point had a song about McInnes: I’m Gavin McInnes and I’m proud to have a phallus. The Proud Boys are a loose-knit group of men who identify with McInnes’ politics, and they have their own website, the ProudBoys. com forum, and regular meetups around the nation. They’ve become perhaps the most controversial political movement in half a decade—one that sees its members arrested on a regular basis at protests, rioters, and clashes with Antifa (the so-called antifascist). -> The origins of the Proud Boys can be traced back to one reactionary bigot behind a microphone who hated a child he figured was a fatherless Puerto Rican. #2 The Proud Boys are a group of men who identify with McInnes’ politics, and they have their own website and meetups. #3 In the 1990s, McInnes began to look at his own brand of counterculture as a business venture. He started a zine in Montreal about his life experiences, which was widely panned by local critics but became infamous after he sent a series of threatening letters splattered in his own blood to the writers who gave him negative reviews. #4 A group of men who identify with McInnes’ politics have their own website and meetups. They’ve become perhaps the most controversial political movement in half a decade.

In Search of Manhood
Author: Don H. Corrigan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476653607
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
American men began an earnest search for the meaning of manhood in the latter half of the 20th century and enlisted in such groups as Promise Keepers, Million Man March, National Congress of Men, and fathers' rights groups. This study chronicles those movements, as well as the more visible male activism of today in such groups as Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and Oath Keepers. The book explores the misogyny and militancy embodied in these new quests for manhood. The first section covers pop culture influences on conceptions of masculinity and moves from celebrity iconography to the institutional and organizational influences that men have relied on in the effort to make themselves masculine. The second section describes masculinity and men's movements in the 20th century, and the third section covers the 21st. The final chapters analyze the contrast between the more thoughtful men's movements before the turn of the century and the more militant and physical movements after 2000, posing and addressing critical questions about the relationship between prevailing ideals of masculinity and events like the January 6th insurrection.

Putin, Trump & Proud Boys
Author: Catherine Dumont

Pages : 37
Book Description
The Russia-Ukraine war once again focused attention on the United States, not only because it is a member of NATO or because it is one of the main powers in the world, but because of the interests that are at stake. The affinities are clear: Trump-Russia-Putin and Biden-Ukraine-Zelenski. On the other hand, with the arrest of Enrique Tarrio and other members of groups that supported Donald Trump, with their silencing on the networks and their public cancelation, it has become very clear what place groups like the Proud Boys occupy in the Biden administration.

Better Boys, Better Men
Author: Andrew Reiner
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062854968
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
A thought-provoking and much-needed look at how modern masculinity is harming and holding back men—and all of society—and what we can do to promote a new masculinity that allows men of all ages to thrive. In Better Boys, Better Men, cultural critic and New York Times contributor Andrew Reiner argues that men today are working on an outdated model of masculinity, which prevents them in moments of distress and vulnerability from marshalling the courage, strength, and resiliency—the very characteristics we regularly champion in men—they need to thrive in a world vastly different from the ones their fathers and grandfathers grew up in. According to Reiner, this outdated model of manhood can have devastating effects on the entire culture and, especially boys and men, from falling behind in the classroom and rising male unemployment rates to increased levels of depression and disturbing upticks in violence on a mass scale. Reiner interviews boys and men of all ages, educators, counselors, therapists, and physicians throughout the United States to better understand what factors are preventing the country’s boys and men from developing the emotional resiliency they need. He also introduces readers to the boys and men at the vanguard of a new masculinity that empowers them to find and express the full range of their humanity. Urgent and necessary, Better Boys, Better Men will change the way we talk about boys and men in America today.
