"Behind every Proud Boy is a sad mom"
Sticker spotted in Portland, Oregon
@RadicalGraffiti I actually wonder about this a lot.
I almost hope so, compared to their being into it.
@chicating @RadicalGraffiti Stop assuming it’s the parents’ fault! Friends and acquaintances are a huge influence after age 12 or so.
@RadicalGraffiti I am Proud to not be a Proud Boy
@RadicalGraffiti @paninid No one knows what it's like / to be the bad mom / to be the sad mom / behind Proud Boys
@RadicalGraffiti and some racist moms probably
@RadicalGraffiti Disagree. I knew the entire family of a Proud Boy. She's proud of him. And why wouldn't she be - he's exactly what she raised him to be. The families of Proud Boys are every bit as awful as they are.
@RadicalGraffiti the fuck does that even mean?

@cadenceoflife @RadicalGraffiti

The Proud Boys are a violent white supremacist group. While I'm sure some of them learn it at home, many of them are radicalized online. I can't even imagine being the parent of a kid who has been sucked into such a group--and my aunt was in a literal cult, so I have some inkling of the grief and confusion.

@RadicalGraffiti The mom is likely proud. Sick!
@RadicalGraffiti I need this one I live in Long Island NY. The cops let them have illegal terror parades like when I was in girl scouts.
