Their history and almost everything else about them reads like a ridiculous dystopian satirical black comedy novel a la "A Clockwork Orange".

"The Proud Boys say they have an initiation process that has four stages and includes hazing. The first stage is a loyalty oath, on the order of "I'm a proud Western chauvinist, I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world"; the second is getting punched until the person recites pop culture trivia, such as the names of five breakfast cereals; the third is getting a tattoo[29] and agreeing to not masturbate; and the fourth is getting into a major fight "for the cause".[26][78][79][80][81][82] The masturbation policy was later modified to read: "no heterosexual brother of the Fraternity shall masturbate more than one time in any calendar month" and "all members shall abstain from pornography".[83]"
"The name is derived from the song "Proud of Your Boy", originally created for Disney's 1992 film Aladdin but left out following story changes in production; it was later featured in the 2011 musical adaptation. In the song, the character Aladdin apologizes to his mother for being a bad son and promises to make her proud. McInnes interprets it as Aladdin apologizing for being a boy. He first heard it while attending his daughter's school music recital. The song's "fake, humble, and self-serving" lyrics became a running theme on his podcast. McInnes said it was the most annoying song in the world but that he could not get enough of it.[39]"
