‘An Efficient Genocide’: Proud Boys Facebook Post Comes to Defense of Nazis

This has been around for a few days now, and the Proud Boys have their heads in the sand about it. Eh, it’s not like we were going to buy what they try to sell us anyway.

A since-deleted Facebook post on the page of Proud Boys Canada has generated heat against the group, because they defended the neo-Nazis that rioted and attacked innocent people in the streets of the German city of Chemnitz, implying they were the frustrated descendants of those who orchestrated what they referred to as “an efficient genocide”.

The post was a link to a Daily Mail article about thousands of neo-fascist thugs taking to the streets in Chemnitz and engaging in racist mob attacks response to a knife killing, allegedly committed by a Syrian and an Iraqi and the protests that followed with some neo-fascists carrying banners or insignia of the neo-fascist Alternative for Germany (AfD) and neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (NPD) and a handful doing the right-handed Hitler salute, which is illegal in Germany.

“When migrants fuck shit up in the birthplace of Nazism, they should’ve expected an eventual breaking point,” the post read. “These are repressed descendants of a people who committed an efficient genocide. Maybe staying polite and trying to intergrate would be a better policy?”

The Proud Boys are a neo-Fascist hipster street gang founded in 2016 by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes and are known for seeking out political opponents to physically attack. “I cannot recommend violence enough, McInnes has said in the past. “It’s a really effective way to solve problems.” Despite the fact that they have been closely associated with White supremacist organizations and individuals, the Proud Boys vehemently deny sharing the same views, citing persons of color who are Proud Boy members.  In an April 2017 video on YouTube, McInnes has even denied that Nazis even exist and that hate crimes are hoaxes. Proud Boy members did however participate in the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA four months later, despite McInnes’ “disavowal” of the event, and also in its anniversary rally in Washington, DC the following year, although the Proud Boys have since been suggesting that Jovi Val, the member that attended the DC rally, is no longer a member.

To date, there has not been any apparent response from anyone representing the Proud Boys about the Canadian chapter’s posting. The Proud Boys Canada Facebook page has been active since March 2017 and has a total of over 8,000 likes and follows.
