content: As much as the creation of the group was a joke, his show on compound media was as much a joke.  It was an experiment that grew in a vacuum.  There are many men that don't know their direction in life because of the Marxist indoctrination of the education system and mainstream entertainment. For a lack of a better analogy, I would liken the success of McInnes's Proud Boys to the success of the crypto-currency Dogecoin.  It was a meme/joke that certain people understood and enjoyed but was part of a real movement that was needed in a new growing market. Steven Crowder has the same audience, which is probably why McInnes moved to crtv. If you are a man, and are using Voat for news/entertainment.  You'd probably fit right in with the majority of proud boys.
