Far-right figure blames ‘corrupt leftwing media’ for January 6 attack on US Capitol in new Trump documentary
The founder of the Proud Boys, the far-right group that played a major role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol and was memorably instructed by Donald Trump to “stand back and stand by”, has told the makers of a Trump documentary: “We want to make America hate again.”
Gavin McInnes, the UK-born British Canadian citizen who co-founded Vice magazine and was influential in the New York hipster scene of the early 2000s before becoming a far-right militia figure, also claimed to the BBC that his group wasn’t responsible for what happened that day.
“It was you,” he told the makers of the documentary, which has aired on the BBC’s Panorama strand. “If anyone should apologise … it should be the corrupt leftwing media, and I’ll accept your apology now if you want to do it.”
Now vice had its problems, but how the fuck was this goon one of the co-founders?
They walk among us.
The British-Canadian Hipster found of Vice became the leader of an anti-immigrant white nationalist group in the United States? Weird character arc. Anyone have any insight?
Yeah I’m… agog.
Am I wrong to think of hipsters as generally lefties?
Am I wrong to think of Vice as the people that do edgy progressive journalism and interesting documentaries?
Something is wrong with my preconceptions about these things.
… or maybe he just smoked too much crack and is suffering a psychosis.
Yea, same as you, I can’t connect those dots. Vice is absolutely left leaning from what I know and watch
Honestly, probably brain damage. Getting big head trauma can make people prone to rage and become less empathetic. Not everyone, of course. But the brain is complex, and some types of brain damage can really affect someone’s personality and mental capabilities.
He stuck a dildo up his ass and realized he might be gay?
The thought is still making its way from the rectum up, hasn’t reached the cerebellum yet
What about just hating him?
This toolbag again? He moved to a town not too far from me and people started putting up “Hate has no home here” signs on their lawn, and he threw a fit. What a crybaby. Like if you’re going to be a bigot, you should probably have thicker skin. Dude has the spine of a jellyfish.
Here’s an article on that whole thing:
rest assured this american hates you gavin
No! I would love to see him actually…on my phone while resting on my warm bed. I would love to see him while traversing the vast artic ice cap on foot with no shoes or other clothes other than his underwear. You know, being superior to me and proud since he can do that and I cannot. I admit my inferiority in this area.
Another such Netflix special would be a SpaceX adventure into the sun. He can wear anything he wants for this one. So long as the proper telescope satellite is viewing how superior he is over all of us, I would be so very satisfied with all my inferior fellows down here far from the superior vastness of the universe. I mean sure, he could also go to Mars where he can be superior too. But I don’t have all day man, I gotta do some work. Maybe Mars with no helmet?
Again?
Conflating culture with skin color is so strange. McInnes has way more culturally in common with the Taliban than he does with any white representative of liberal values. Idiot.
Let’s call him Gavin “White Taliban” McInnes
Dude can literally go fuck himself.
so go back to canada then bitch
I had a dream last night that Robespierre came out of the shadows and won the election. I’m not sure it was a nightmare.
you mean you want to get rich off these people and you probably don’t care left or right you just find people who are easiest to manipulate, are likely in some sort of identity crisis and will act like fanatics for you
this guy should have been taken out so long ago. instead we just make jokes. pathetic.
be the change
it has to be all of us. no more lone wolves. we need packs. they can’t arrest us all.
Can we avoid becoming like the Area 51 raid where only one guy does it and all the chickens say they were just joking?
For everyone saying eat the rich, launch them into space, guillotine them… How do we figure out when to do that, on which billionaires first? How do we prevent the billionaires from buying the website (or whatever) where it’s planned?
that’s why encrypted communications and burner phones are what we all need to be really talking about.
Even then, how can trust scale up? Who makes the call “today is the day” for a huge group without that person getting a knock on their door?
I forget where I read this, but if the British had just all the metadata we have today, then they could have stopped Paul Revere.
again: ENCRYPTED communication.
EDIT: if it was easy, we would have done it by now. I’m not advocating anything but if you wanted to do it right, you would probably begin by reading as much info about cold war espionage as possible. the revolution would be foolish to do via the internet. the internet would only serve as a rallying cry to make people realize what had to be done. the dirty work would never be planned in ones and zeroes.
Right, but encryption doesn’t necessarily eliminate metadata. And since so little traffic gets onion routed, even that is a signal.
Cold war espionage is a different situation because Soviet/Western hierarchy eliminated coordination problems.
Several individually coordinated crimes and violent lyrics got the ICP a gang designation.
This motherfucker has had centrally planned riots and an attempted insurrection, has a jumping in process, has perpetrated stochastic terrorism campaigns, and is still invited to speak at public and campaign events.

“Stand by, stand back” or whatever Trump said on national tv to them.
