New Alt-Right Fight Club Ready for Street Violence - (aaaand cue the brownshirts)

A new fight-club “fraternity” of young white, pro-Trump men is being formed, its organizers claim, to defend free-speech rights by “Alt-Right” leaders and engage in street fighting.

Kyle Chapman, a California activist arrested earlier this month in a clash in Berkeley between anti-fascist protesters and pro-Trump demonstrators, announced this week he is forming the Fraternal Order of Alt Knights (cleverly called “FOAK).

Chapman, who uses the Internet meme “Based Stick Man,” says his new militant, highly-masculine group will be the “tactical defensive arm” of the Proud Boys, another group that shows up at pro-Trump rallies looking to rumble with counter-protesters.

“We don’t fear the fight. We are the fight,” Chapman said in a recent social media post announcing FOAK’s formation.

“I’m proud to announce that my newly created Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights will be partnering with Proud Boys,” Chapman said, with the “full-approval” of its founder, Gavin McInnes.

McInnes co-founded Vice magazine a decade ago and more recently has been a frequent guest on FOX News and a contributor for the racist site VDARE where he denigrated Muslims and called Asian Americans “slopes” and “riceballs.”

Now described as a “neo-masculine reactionary,” McInnes calls his Proud Boys a “pro-West fraternal organization.”

1. Go FOAK yourself

Proud Boys?

8. Let's be proud to fellate the middle/working/poor-screwing billionaire!

That just screams "courageous" to me . . .

2. Sounds like a self-help group for sexually repressed frat-boys:

Being a Proud Boy seems to be mostly about getting drunk and shoving antifascists. A Politico video shot on inauguration weekend sums up what a Proud Boy meet-up is like: weird pseudo-intellectual stuff and street scuffling with leftists. McInnes reads from Pat Buchanan’s Death of the West, leads the Proud Boys on a march to the Deploraball — and licks a protester’s face along the way.

The rambunctious but socially awkward vibe is very odd-kid-in-middle-school-who-isn’t-really-a-nerd, or guy-who-got-into-a-fraternity-only-because-he’s-a-legacy. Which leads us to…

The Masturbation Thing: A recurring trope on various parts of the fix-your-life internet, whether it’s Reddit’s “nofap” page or pick-up artist forums, is the idea that abstaining from masturbating will bring about a wholesale life change.

McInnes promotes a similar idea called “#nowanks,” saying that masturbating more than once a month drains one’s interest — especially for millennials — in sex. The caveat: Proud Boys can always masturbate within a yard of a woman, with her consent.

3. Then you know what? Let's ignore them.

Although those Antifa assholes probably won't. But the best way to stop a troll is to not feed them in the first place. I'd love to see these assholes show up to a one-sided fight.

[maxsolomon]

20. when they show up at protests to intimidate liberals, will you ignore them?

you know that rightists have already shot an antifa protestor, right? what was that "asshole" doing? just taking away the pepper spray being used on them by the rightist counter-protestors, in full view of riot police.

the fights are coming whether you ignore them or not. these aren't trolls, they're thugs.

or they want to be.

[Initech]

21. I guess they can't be ignored then.

Shit is getting ugly out there, how do we deal with assholes like this?

4. "Highly-Masculine group" of "Proud Boys" sounds a bit repressed if you ask me.

Come out of the closet guys, you'll feel better about the world I promise.

[Coventina]

13. Plus, they tend to idolize the ancient Greeks, another hyper-masculine culture.

Jury is out on whether they realize that the vast majority of Greek fighting men were bi-sexual.

[Initech]

22. They're most likely too stupid to realize that.

I'd be willing to bet a good majority of these "Proud Boys" failed both basic civics and ancient history classes in high school.

5. If there were a reason to wage war with North Korea, it would be to

draft these guys and other deplorables into combat.

[HughBeaumont]

6. "highly-masculine group" just sounds funny.

“We don’t fear the fight. We are the fight,”

[Snarkoleptic]

7. Oh, and here's a pic of the "Based Stick Man", which is a growing wingnut meme.

[Initech]

23. These are the heroes we don't need, nor deserve, and didn't ask for.

They're... Dork Knights.

[shenmue]

9. It's illegal to incite riots, dumbass

[Initech]

15. I wish we could have the Pre Crime Unit from Minority Report.

And have the cops waiting to arrest them before the shit goes down!

[Dr. Strange]

10. I got no problem here.

Doesn't bother me if they want to defend Coulter's right to speak without being physically attacked.

And if there really are some black bloc anarchist thugs behind the violence when the alt-right speaks, then I'm all for them fighting with these FOAKers. Let these two asshole groups beat the shit out of each other and leave the rest of us alone. Sounds like a win all around.

[ronatchig]

11. The problem is

that foakers like these won't leave us alone. The best way to handle foakers like these is to confront them non violently. Take your lumps and then sue them until you get their sticks in a vise!

[SonofDonald]

12. Reminds me of a movie I saw

Ever heard of "A Clockwork Orange"?

Sound like someone got drunk, watched it and decided to pattern their life after it, clothes and all.

At least you can tell which ones to ID for the police when the shit starts.

A self inflicted wound.

[hedda_foil]

16. You can't id them in their riot gear, though.

[SonofDonald]

18. But then again....

They'd be the ones in riot gear don't you think?

I've seen pics of a few of them on the local CL rants n raves, without the riot gear they look like the "Toughs" from the movie.

That's what I meant.

[hedda_foil]

19. Makes sense.

[Initech]

14. The only thing they're defending is their right to be assholes.

[eShirl]

17. Gang. n/t
