"Proud Boys is a far-right men's organization[1][2][3][4] founded in 2016 by former VICE media co-founder and 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,[6] but McInnes describes the alt-right as "too far" because they think "Whites are what [are] important, not necessarily Western values", and instead identifies as "alt-lite". He claims to be inclusive to anyone "as long as you accept the western world as the best."[7]"
