Good day,
I saw how things are turning and reached out to my Colorado chapter last month using the email from the PB website. They only response to my email was "who is your reference?". Said I didn't have one. Explained how I am a lifelong patriot, pillar of my community, and active on based subreddits as well as a top poster on the .win. No response. No follow up. I am not going to jump hoops. You want able bodied men to defend the nation, or you don't.
I tried as well. They wanted to know who my employer was, where I live, etc..
I noped the fuck outta there.
Same, the guy I talked to was responsive and sounded cool, but the legal first/last name etc was a turnoff for me. I understand why they are doing it, they probably have all kinds of sketchy people trying to infiltrate, but I am all about my anonymity. I will still support PB and always defend them, but I am not down with giving so much personal info before joining.
Ya. The PB chapter around here doesn't even recognize Gavin. The dude who actually created what they are. Morons. They're soft shit. Guess it depends on where you are, if they're cool or not.
It does kinda make sense, four of them were stabbed during the march in DC the other day, times are bleak, if some bad actor infiltrates them and wants to do harm, people could be seriously injured or killed, it makes sense to be safe rather than sorry.
The unfortunate outcome of that is people who are genuinely interested in joining face intense scrutiny.
I get it, it's hard for a large body of people to function without a huge corporate overlord funding them. The Proud Boys don't have Soros funneling them money, or any other group like that. But we gotta figure something out.
There should be active and involved recruitment at least. I don't think it'd be too much to ask for a person or two from every state to hold a meeting or interview once a month. Face to face will always be better in gauging intent and calibur than a email.
As it is, it's way too hard to get in, and it's the only group that's come out as any sort of counter group to antifa or the destruction of America.
Are proud boys pro Christian?
