You're lucky.

I bet he makes money from those jagoffs, unlike Anthony.

Say what you will about that group of mouth-breathing retards, but Gavin knew how to capitalize on racial hysteria to boost his profile and make money.

I mean, it's a drop in the ocean compared to owning a major portion of Vice in 2018, but it's pretty interesting nonetheless.

As stupid as most of his views are, I miss that show. Gavin's show, when he didn't have guests on, was consistently funny.

Gavin is a classic con man, and you almost have to respect that Canuck queer for it.

Gavin's show was pretty good. I didn't see every ep but every time I did it was cool how he loaded it with guests.

Depended on the guest. More often than not, they were alt-right protest retards.

I enjoyed his monologues more and also liked him shitting on bad callers.

Proud Boys is just such a homosexual-sounding organization I'm surprised tough guys like them would want to associate with it.

Dude, they're named after a song in the Broadway production of Aladdin - the gayness isn't even disguised

A part of me thinks (hopes) the Proud Boys was just a troll by Gavin.

I've said that from the start. It feels like a troll. Problem is that it's now been years of this bullshit and he still hasn't pulled off the mask so it's 100% real.

It was absolutely a troll that got out of hand.

Fucking idiots were getting tattoos.

I don't think it was. I had a copy of "The Vice Guide to Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll" which had a lot of Gavin's articles in it and a lot of his proud boy b.s. is in there. It came off as somewhat ironic at the time. If he's trolling, it's a very long con.

An outlaw biker motorcycle club without the motorcycles. And rules about masturbation. And a requirement to wear suits three times a week. And something about housewives. And Poloshirts as a uniform. And something about cereal.

I still remember these tough characters got bullied out of a parking lot by a bunch of teenagers lol

just reading the thread title, it's a pretty solid theory. The formation of the proud boys was done entirely under the compound media banner. It did not exist before then, and he formed it shortly after joining Anthony's network. And just before he left the network he started to distance himself from it somewhat.

I actually liked Gavin a lot. But I never bought into the whole Proud Boys shit. He got his point across and was likeable enough that he didn't need to do that and it did nothing but hurt him over time.

Proud Boys (1984) 1/2 * Drama/comedy - Kelvin (Corey Haim) finds himself attracted to his church youth group counselor Freddy (Judge Reinhold) while fending off the advances of a female suitor (Lisa Whelchel). With Carrol O'Connor as "Uncle Mack" and Cloris Leachman as "Aunt Nanny". PG, brief nudity, language. (91 min)

The day we spilled the pain5

Hate Group is the Terror Cell of the other team.
