If you only kinda-sorta know who the Proud Boys are, this thread is for you. If you& #39;re unfamiliar with militia movements in general, this thread is for you. These are all the best sources I know of for arming yourself with information about the nuances in these groups

It& #39;s important to have a good workong understanding of these groups so you can combat misinformation about them online and in your communities. I& #39;d recommend starting with the earliest episodes of @idsgpod -- this one is about the Proud Boys. https://open.spotify.com/episode/64YZWEbJlMi66u85XN3S5A?si=7sbYEgsXTdCU6ngr3EqFGQ">https://open.spotify.com/episode/6...
If you& #39;re more of a visual than an audio learner, start by reading the free content on The Informant and follow @nickmartin & @lilsarg. I subscribe to the site and would encourage you to also support this important work! https://www.informant.news/ ">https://www.informant.news/">...
The mainstream media is invested in constructing a false narrative around the ongoing actions in support of BLM & defunding the police. Follow @socialistdogmom @GoadGatsby @utahmads @IwriteOK @1misanthrophile @csnyderj for coast to coast on the ground coverage.
For more on deconstructing and critically examining media narratives especially regarding these actions, check out this News Brief episode of @CitationsPod about the "outsider narrative" https://open.spotify.com/episode/3r0LpBduyVRYDtfohfIONw?si=ctinPI48S5y7tGiDQdIuTw">https://open.spotify.com/episode/3...
I recently finished listening to the audiobook version of @andrewmarantz& #39;s Anti-Social: Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation. It& #39;s a long read that goes into a lot of detail but is absolutely worth diving into.
Unfortunately it& #39;s not available to stream for free anymore but Welcome to Leith is a powerful documentary about what happens when a white supremacist attempts to take over a small community. https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/who-is-watching-the-hate-tracking-hate-groups-online-and-beyond/">https://www.pbs.org/independe...
I wouldn& #39;t recommend beginning with The Age of Rage but it is super accessible (available on netflix) and has some footage referenced in a lot of the above sources that I think is important to view. Big CW for a lot of that footage. https://www.netflix.com/title/80998786?preventIntent=true">https://www.netflix.com/title/809...
