Well, we’ve seen that PB as a group has a propensity to engage in political violence on behalf of a decided political identity, so it’s certainly more than a drinking club. richard Spencer has been a member, he has clear white nationalists ties, so there’s that. By their own decree, in order to reach “4th degree” status, you just get arrested or in a serious violent fight for the cause. I don’t know much about the history of the organization beyond that, but Nathan Bedford Forrest didn’t start the KKK with the intent of the organization becoming what it did, either. In fact, I’ve read he attempted to disband it. History will ultimately judge you based on outcome, not intent, so if you are going to passively claim that PB are little more than a red pill fraternity, then you are overlooking their very deliberate history of actions in favor of a stated intent.
