Proud Boys has to be the dumbest fucking name for a fascist militant organisation ever. Every time I hear it it just sounds completely ridiculous. How can they use it with a straight face? “Hi, I’m a Proud Boy!”. Fucking dipshits.

No, quite the opposite.
Honestly, I find the vast majority of the arguments against it to be be made from a point of ignorance, propagated by a rabid sub-set of artists looking to generate clicks for their sensationalist YouTube videos.

…Granny shiftin’ not double clutchin’ like you should. You’re lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn’t blow the welds on the intake! Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace the piston rings you fried.
Absolutely fucking not. Me and my wife can’t think of many things we’d want less, tbh.
You’re more than welcome, glad it helped. Stay positive, friend! 👍
I kinda get the impression they bite, a lot.

OK, but what if you’re still haunting the house, but a new person legally buys it and then invites the Vampire in? Who’s preference takes precedent?
No, because you didn’t grant it consent to enter prior to death.
I mean it’d be great to see some of these ‘public facts’ you mention. I’m not necessarily questioning the veracity of your claims, but this does ironically somewhat come across as a AI written fever-dream without some supporting evidence.
