1. Pledge an oath of loyalty to the Proud Boys and their "proud western chauvinists" principles, and then allow themselves to be beaten by other members while reciting the names of four breakfast cereals.
2. Be literally branded as a Proud Boy via getting a 'Proud Boy' tattoo.
3. Adhere to the 'no fap' rules and refrain from masturbation (except for one day a month or in front of a woman, if they want) and instead get out of the house and pursue women for sex.
4. Engage in acts of violence for the cause (McInnes explained to Joe Rogan that violence is just fun).
If most conservatives on the right feel that the Proud Boys represent their values, I'm not seeing that being acknowledged publicly. So, I'll continue to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, I'm open-minded to the argument that right-wing conservatives are headed in that direction.
After all, it is true that that McInnes had been a frequent guest on FOX, and he was recently invited to be the guest speaker at a Republican party event in NYC two weeks ago (followed by a Proud Boys' assault), and the Proud Boys did their thing against Pelosi at a Miami event in coordination with a Republican party leader just last week.
Which values?
