Redaction ineptitude reveals names of Proud Boys' self-styled new leaders

The Proud Boys suck at redaction: as the white nationalist extremist organization struggles with a succession crisis following founder Gavin McInnes's departure (precipitated by a Freedom of Information Act request that revealed that the FBI called them "white nationalist extremists) have published a new set of bylaws for the organization with the names of the new leaders blacked out.

But the redactions were accomplished by drawing black rectangles over the text, which can still be copied and pasted to read it. This is a stupid mistake that most people stopped making a decade ago (with notable exceptions).


Beyond giving their names, the article is pretty funny and lists those loser's rules:

The new bylaws are more of the same weird Proud Boy shit, with some changes: no head punches on their weird beat-in ritual where they sock each other while chanting cereal brands; you can only jerk off once per month; and some new rulings on the “fourth degree of initiation,” which involves getting in a fight on behalf of the club and is usually achieved during shit-stirring brawls like the one outside the Metropolitan Republican Club in NYC last month, which got several Proud Boys arrested, contributing to the leadership chaos.

Mom comes home and sees a light in the basement. She heads downstairs

A Proud Boy (using his monthly allotment) quickly shuts off his monitor displaying cuck porn and pulls up his sweatpants.

Mom: "what are you doing....that's disgusting. Look at this place. Can't you pick up those tissues and pizza boxes?"

Proud boy, trying to change the subject: "Mom, we're all out of Lucky Charms"

Mom, hitting her loser son: "Why don't you get a job? Why don't you get out of this basement once in a while?"

Smack, smack

Proud boy, trying to protect his head: "Lucky Charms, Lucky Charms!"

was wrong! There are dumber people out there apparently! A bunch of pathetic losers. One ?, how are these losers going to enforce the 1 jerkoff per month limit? I thought that they were anti-gay too, so what are they going to do, sit in each other's bedrooms and watch each other, to make sure that they don't play w/ each other?

How dumb and truly pathetic.
