Proud Boys

The Proud Boys are a far-right, male-only organization founded in 2016 that promotes nationalist and sometimes controversial views. They advocate for Western cultural identity and have been associated with promoting conservative ideals, but also with engaging in street confrontations and protests. Classified by some as an extremist group, they have attracted attention for their involvement in political demonstrations and clashes with opposing groups. Their activities and rhetoric have generated significant media coverage and public debate about free speech, nationalism, and political violence.
