The '''Proud Boys''' are a male-only neo-[[fascist]]/[[Alt-Right]] organization that promotes political violence. The group has neo-[[fascist]] and white nationalist beliefs; they see men – especially white men – and Western culture as under siege; their views have elements of white genocide conspiracy theory. While the group claims it does not support white supremacist views, its members often participate in racist rallies, events, and organizations. The organization glorifies violence, and members engage in violence at events it attends. They also maintain a paramilitary wing, the [[Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights]]. | |||
