Who Are The Proud Boys And Why Do They Hate Everyone?

You would think any group deriving its name from a Disney song would be peace-loving, but the Proud Boys prove that isn't always the case.

These hate-fuelled individuals have been a regular feature at Donald Trump's marches, the US Capital riot and are now are even popping up in Melbourne, but what exactly do they stand for?

The Quicky investigates why people are drawn to these violent male chauvinists, and what we can do to stop them gaining popularity in Australia.
