Reply to comment by Sad-Lie6604 in What Really Happened at the Penn State Protest Against Proud Boys Founder Gavin McInnes by bythesea_man

The Proud Boys are a terrorist organisation. They're literally listed as a terrorist organisation in Canada. Their members have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy.

Wind your fuckin' neck in.

"Oh, just go along to the Klan rally and see what they're saying. I bet they're not such bad dudes!"

And this protest just gave them validation and national attention. They are both actually happy with the result. Whether the protestors are on the right moral side or not is irrelevant to the fact that the result is conflicting with their purpose. It's like someone threatens to damage your house and you burn it down before they have a chance to. Good work. Best result would have been to ignore it and let those few people have their little party in anonymity.

Pretty sure being a terrorist group with members convicted of sedition for that time they attempted to trap and execute lawmakers got them a lot more attention than being told to piss off on a University campus.

And?...You realize businesses run commercials more than once for a reason, right? Do you think there may be a reason why they spend gobs of money to run a national commercial several times? Why not just run 1 if the subsequent viewings are irrelevant?

Their viewership (especially Alex Stein) and subscriptions will rise more because of this than it would have if they were just ignored. They dangled a hook and worm in front of people, and they took it.

One of the main messages they push is freedom of speech is under attack and they used the protesters as pawns to demonstrate it.

Why are they listed that way? Why are there chapters in Japan and Africa if they are white sups? You must know them well, so please help us understand bc it seems like real "hate" is so lacking in 2022, it would go to these idiots and make them akin to the Klan, whom actually state they hate.

Did you miss the whole "seditious conspiracy" bit?

Sorry bud, the vast majority of people aren't going to fall for the copy-paste apologies and excuses. We're not stupid enough to buy them.
