Gavin isn’t left. Or lefty. That is misinformation. 19 years ago Gavin was saying things like: “Last month, he wrote an article for Patrick Buchanan in The American Conservative boasting of having converted Vice readers to conservatism. He actually leans much further to the right than the Republican Party. His views are closer to a white supremacist's. ''I love being white and I think it's something to be very proud of,'' he said. ''I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life.”[0] — When was the Proud Boys purportedly just a joke? Also, 4chan, Vice’s non lefty people like Gavin, have hid behind the cover of “just a joke” for decades. There are many times where Gavin calls himself, Proud Boys, or others alt-lite/new right. A distinction that means nothing when the people who label themselves as these, are no different than the alt right. I have a very hard time believing Proud Boys was ever created as a joke in good faith and not as cover. Nothing from quick reading shows your take to be true. Is it not true that Proud Boys was created in 2016 on Taki's Magazine, a far-right/alt-right site?
