These guys beat up people last week while screaming slurs, and the NYC police didn’t make arrests, and the news reported that the violence was done by anti-fascists who they falsely framed as the real problem, because we live in a society optimized for self-pitying bullies.
They aren’t in remotely the same bag. The proud boys are a group behind the Nazi occupation of Charlottesville last year.
Something to remember as a docile news media repeats the lie that Democrats are a violent mob.
Man A fights to stab Man B.
Man C fights to prevent the stabbing.
“Man A and Man C both seek to solve problems using violence, they are equal” is an obfuscation. It’s not a neutral statement.

A “both sides” argument almost always serves to benefit the side with bad intent.
Intent is the key.
The proud boys want a pure white country in which women are property. That’s the problem they use violence to solve.

At some point soon we’re all going to have to get pretty sharp about the difference between a bully and a person who stands up against a bully.
