Proud Boys Whisperer
Applying research to the culture war since 2017
Who I Am
My name is Samantha Kutner
You're probably wondering, "What exactly is a Proud Boys Whisperer?"
It does not mean that I’m:
- a white supremacist or fascist sympathizer.
- a “Proud Boys Girl” (or a supporter of them)
What it does mean:
I have dedicated my life to helping people leave violent extremism and white supremacy.
It is my field of study and my life’s work.
My journey began at the end of 2015, while taking a theory course on terrorist history, tactics, and groups where I noticed very few stories about those who were able to get out and leave terrorism behind.
This led me to my first research project: reading memoirs of former extremists to study and learn how they were able to disengage which ultimately brought my focus to the psychology of terrorism and de-radicalization.
I haven’t looked back.
I am a subject matter expert on the Proud Boys and a trusted source of insight and intelligence on emerging far right threats. I understand what it is like to fall in with a bad crowd, and how hard it can be to leave.
I live for great conversations, hate preaching to the choir, and love making complex ideas accessible.
