It was nearly a year ago today that I first started writing about how the Proud Boys were a white supremacist (yes, even with men of color!) organization trending towards violence, so yesterday's events seem about on cue.https://medium.com/@notcolloquial/a-network-analysis-of-white-nationalism-the-recruitment-pipeline-from-alt-lite-to-alt-right-part-f9959ce1162b …

Aren't the Proud Boys just fighting back against left-wing violence and intimidation? I don't follow these things closely but my impression is that this
is basically correct. Am I wrong?https://twitter.com/HbdNrx/status/1051986413120512000 …Right Melburnian 🇦🇺 added,

Also, what is the source for your claim about right-wing terrorism (the article you linked is behind a paywall)? I read a much-cited ADL report on this and it seemed very questionable.

Right Melburnian 🇦🇺 @RightMelburnianThis ADL report is sometimes cited to show that right-wing extremism is the biggest terror threat in America. It asserts that "white supremacists" were responsible for the majority of "extremist-related murders" in the US in 2017. https://www.adl.org/media/10827/download …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
