Darn those National Socialist Fucksticks, as though we didn’t miss the now defunct Saturday hatemail-apalooza and its angry messages from RWNJ trolls.
J. L. Van Dyke, a member of the RWNJ group, Proud Boys, is attempting lawfare against a blog called Mockingbird Paper, because he claims Proud Boys are neither neo-Nazis nor on one side of the “Both Sides” fascist/antifascist divide, even as Trump has claimed yet again his support for “us”/them against antiFA.
Those claims make no sense since Proud Boys were one of the organizers of the Unite The Right demonstration in Charlottesville.
Van Dyck is attempting to score $60,000 in damages in Texas. Good luck with that.
Apparently he decided to go after DK and Kos himself, which is a big mistake.
Hilarity ensues...
One of the your core allegations is that the so-called Proud Boys are not Neo-Nazis. What you failed to disclose is that you are a “Proud Boy” yourself, of the third degree, or at least that you claim to be so on your Facebook profile. A screenshot of said profile is included below. Are you under contract with the Proud Boys? Are you acting as their in house counsel?
I welcome your suit should you be foolish enough to file it. I am prepared, and so are a number of firms who would be pleased to represent me against you. Both my friendship, and your buffoonery, have motivated their requests for participation. I personally do not take well to threats. Threatening me is like attempting coitus with a garbage disposal. It is pointless, painful and makes you look more ridiculous on the internet than you already were.
Should you bring your suit it will be noted that I do have a cause of action against you as well, along with your anonymous clients. Your post to my recent gofundme fundraiser was proximate to so-called “shitposting” by people I can only assume are also Proud Boys in good standing. The one who said he would sooner “slam his dick in a car door while leaving the keys in the house” than purchase my latest book was a real winner.
the defamatory claims revolve around reports that Houston’s Harvey recovery had some Proud Boy participation among other claims
On a more serious note, perhaps The Sturmabteilung (SA) had similarly ludicrous and even homo-erotic origins, but Proud Boys claim to be anti-antiFA, even as they have been associated with the spread of fake antiFA sites on Twitter.
Note also that Proud Boy Kyle Chapman Based Stickman heads the “military” wing of the Proud Boys.
Proud Boys is a far-right men's organization[1][2][3][4] founded in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes. McInnes describes the organization as a "pro-Western fraternal organization" for men who "refuse to apologize for creating the modern world."[5] The group has been referred to as alt-right or alt-lite.[6][7]
The group takes its name from the showtune "Proud of Your Boy," a song introduced in the 2011 stage-show version of Disney's Aladdin.[7][8]
In 2017, Kyle Chapman, also known as "Based Stickman," formed a new wing of the Proud Boys called the "Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights" (FOAK).[9][10]
