The '''~~[https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Proud_Boys~~ Proud Boys]''' are a male-only [[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 officially 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]].

The organization has been described as a [[Hate Groups|hate group]] by NPR's ''The Takeaway'' and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Their founder and former leader is right-wing commentator and Vice Media co-founder [[Gavin McInnes]]. The group's name comes from the song "Proud of Your Boy", from the Broadway musical ''Aladdin'', poking fun at the song’s message.
