Two Panel Comic
1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]
Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!
2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]
Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.

“Proud Boys” sound like a gay porn title.
I knew it sounded familiar. Like that one porn scene you always seem to remember but can never quite recall. However, you are sure you fapped to it successfully.
Proud boys 9 was my favorite. Hands down Football Meatlong’s magnum (no pun intended) opus.
I’ll fite anyone who disagrees.

I’m proud. But not proud enough if what I’m doing to be associated with it.
Pride comes before the fall.
This applies to lgbtqiaa+ month of June.
Because June comes before September.
In the age of mass surveillance, it might be good to take a page from their behaviors.
Kinda crazy we’re not all hiding our faces all the time.
The pandemic sucked but I’m just glad that it’s socially acceptable to wear a mask anywhere in the world now.
Where I am the pandemic changed nothing about the acceptance of masking. Even during the pandemic I had people asking me to remove my mask.
Much the same here. For the most part it’s accepted but you’ll get looks like you’re actively taking an open shit in public.
Uhh in much of shithole countries (America) you can get shot for wearing a covid mask. Or at least disrespected.
I’d be publicly shamed if I wore one everywhere.
I wear one everywhere, but I’m a woman so I’m more treated as “aww silly girl” sort of thing.
Why would you wear one now? Risk of infection is basically zero these days, or at least no one is tracking or worrying about it anymore.
It’s still out there. If you were worried and plannimg to be in a crowd, i could see it.
Also, if you have a flu or something and you don’t mask up, I think you’re a dick =p
The only ones I’ve seen with masks the last few years are Asians in airports when I’m traveling, and they wore those even before covid so I’m not sure it’s covid related.
it’s definitely more expected among various asian cultures. My city has a pretty large contingent of Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, etc.
I think it’s an expectation that really SHOULD spread to everyone. Masking up when you’re sick it an awesome idea.
It really is idiodic that they politicized a virus and now we all are less safe becuase of it.
Oh, you must not live somewhere windy or with lots of pollen. Those n95s are lifesavers on allergy days.
Oh I do, I just don’t have allergies.
I mean this is what most people around me also think, basically “covids gone”, which I’m sure isnt really true, but I also can’t live in fear forever.
It’s not a page from their book tho. The black bloc protesting tactic has been a main staple in leftist protests before most of these bootlickers were even born
The difference here is that, the people participating in black bloc part of a leftist protest are doing so to protect their fellow protestors from violence while trying to not get prosecuted by the state encouraging that same violence. Meanwhile these bootlickers with their tacticool gear and face mask are only trying to protect their identity to prevent social consequences and so that they can commit violence against minorities without any consequence. The state and police are pretty much on their side so why else would you have to protect your identity if nothing else because you’re a fucking bootlicking pussy
What if everybody just dressed exactly like them at those events on both sides? That would throw a monkey wrench into everything.
There’s a difference between disabling a flock camera and protesting.
It’s pointless with current surveillance tech. Even juggalo face paint doesn’t work anymore
Idk how true that actually is and how much is demoralizing disinformation.
My uneerstandingiis that there’s a lot of identifiable info in your eye area. I’ve seen no convicing evidence that this tech is good against a baseball cap, sunglasses and a balaclava covering the nose and ears. As for gait analysis, that’s a whole other tangled story.
Worth noting that what works for researchers IDing among 100 faces or what’s promised in surveillance tech brochures is not necessarily reality.
An obstacle is still an obstacle. Every bit counts
It’s not pointless you just have to be creative. IR LEDs are cheap and their light is invisible to us but enough light can flood out a camera feed. You can get/build a cheap device that detects these devices’ BLE signatures and further automate from there. (E.g. : use that data to populate a map, then use the map to inform other strategies/hide yourself within a certain range.)
There’s gotta be other turnkey stuff that walks the line of being offensive while not being conspicuous or doing permanent (physical) damage, I just haven’t come across it yet or it is coming.
This fight is far from over
Gotta mask and put a rock in your shoe.
I wonder if it would be more worrying if they thought they could get away walking around without a mask.
100%
This is why people are so intimidated by ICE agents - they have the law on their side.
Well. Lots of ice still use masks.
The smarter ones know the pendulum will swing back hard.
All these proud boy people do is hate and fear monger maybe if they opened up to new ideas they wouldn’t be that way but I don’t see that happening sadly

Hate this genre because it comes back to us when we are criticized for being masked in protests when its nothing to do with “manliness” for either of us its op sec.
So we shouldn’t call them babies when they call us babies for the same thing?
I haven’t found that the high road leads anywhere I want to go.
Its not about the high road its about not normalizing both toxic masculinity and the idea that “why are you hiding your identity” when that’s a value op sec strategy.
It’s more highlighting that they are cowards. They refused to mask during COVID, but are perfectly fine with masking now. Truly the definition of coward.
Then that’s the comparison we/she should be using, because it’s far better.
I mean again hate to defend these people but those were two different reasons for masking its perfectly valid to believe some things call for masking like protecting your privacy, and to also believe other scenarios don’t even if you are wrong. Unsure how its cowardice and not just them having the wrong opinions.
First of, never under any circumstances do you have to give it to fascists.
Second, during the pandemic wearing a mask in closed spaces was done to prevent the spread of COVID, to help protect the young, old and sick or to say it in more simple terms, to do something for your fellow human being. For them, this was to much to ask for. But now when they march through the streets, waving confederate flags, trying to intimidate everyone who is not as fascist and as white enough for their liking, the mask are all of a sudden no problem for them because they know that they will get into trouble and will be shunned by all normal humans when they show their faces doing this. This is what makes them cowards.
Yeah as someone who hates Proud Boys, this is obviously a bad faith attack on them which has the exact blowback you say.
People doing (or threatening to do) political violence are usually going to want to hide their identities from law enforcement and employers, and virtually everyone is afraid of getting arrested and/or fired.
I’m so manly I can’t wear a medical mask to save lives. But I sure am willing to wear one to be an absolute shitbag in cowardice.
Hey look at that man! He’s got feminine hips!
It’s a large part of why he’s so angry at the world. Every night he curses his half Puerto Rican dad for getting with his PAWG mom.
Seeing them even in drawn form, makes me disgusted.
awwww. poor chickens. don’t equate them with pieces of shit like Proud Boys :(. Chickens are loving and caring, unlike these pieces of shit.
Bro, chickens are not loving or caring. They’re vicious pieces of shit that will gladly eat their own. Go visit a chicken farm. There’s a lot of good in the world but chickens and proud boys are not part of it.
giggles from a farm that has free range chickens where some of them enjoy being picked up and cuddled
I need to meet better chickens. All the ones I’ve known are jerks and cannibals.
Proud boys have those specific colors, no idea why pizzacake went with antifa colors here.
She probably just doesn’t have a copy of the antifa handbook they give out during orientation. Might just need to run down to the headquarters for a new copy.
So sloppy. How did she even graduate Antifa War College?
Hey, my alma mater. I still remember how my litter box smelled
I mean,
Proud Boy:
Antifa:
If you’re gonna make stuff shared with thousands you might want to get your imagery right before you do the regime’s work for them.
Youre way overthinking this
I dont think so.
The only people who actually know the colors are those involved in the colors.
So, yes, you are wildly overthinking this.
If you dont know Patriot Front, Proud Boys, and Vanguard America on sight by now thats a problem. Our country is literally being taken over by them right now.
Pick me to one when you’re there, please. I don’t want people thinking I’m profa like Hitler.
Did a quick edit after searching their colors, better?
Yeah, now we aren’t conflating anarcho-communists with fascists
They aren’t proud if they are wearing masks. Are even really boys either? Is it all a facade? …
they want to be approachable to the politicians in DC, so they call themselves “boys”.
they cover their face to keep the facade up that they are just “big boys”.
Will sissy proud boy be on the patreon?
