[2/] Luis actually did everyone a bit of a favor back in 2013. It's noted in the post below.
There's not a need to detail a 50 tweet thread of Luis' racist remarks, because when he tells you he's SUPREMELY racist? Just take Luis at his word.

[6/] The Proud Boys is a violent, extremist, hate group. They also have a hierarchy. Violence is rewarded.

[12/] Why is this relevant? Because the Proud Boys are a gang. They're a violent, fascist, hate group. Many are also deeply antisemitic. Here's a post from Luis advertising a podcast he and Tim Dillon recorded, where they created & actively involved a mock Adolf Hit*er.

[13/] Luis has gone to great lengths, along with the Legion of Skanks to build a network of platforms and accounts, to continue (where possible) to be monetized for espousing violent, racist, hate under the guise of comedy.
Here are a few of their Twitter accounts:

The "Proud Boys" are a @splcenter designated hate group with ties to white supremacists and neo-Nazis https://splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys. Some of their members are actual neo-Nazis

[15/] "Proud Boys" members have desecrated memorials to COVID victims and then bragged about it. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/may/18/proud-boys-claim-responsibility-for-taking-down-co/
[16/] The Proud Boys also routinely threaten and engage in political violence (great thread with more context below). https://twitter.com/RuthlessWe/status/1310564840046428161

[18/] Do not tolerate Proud Boys' hate. Their members are a threat to our communities and way of life.
Regarding Luis and the Legion of Skanks? Deplatform them wherever you see them. Report them. Demonetize them.
We've had enough hate profiteers this century.
