Genuinely curious.

As a left-wing gay man, absolutely antifa.

Just make sure you're all socially distancing and wearing a mask.

I'd rather stand with freedom fighters as opposed to the latter-day version of Hitler's Brownshirts, so Antifa by default.

Since Antifa are not organized like the Proud Boys are, and have a goal against an ideology more than against actual people (which would include demographics I belong to), I would have to say Antifa as well.

There's probably more brown people in the Proud Boys than Antifa. Anyway sounds like a choose your poison.

Any crowd at night would make me nervous, and I certainly wouldn't want to walk around in a crowd right now in the first place.

Proud Boys might think I am Jewish or gay.

Aren't most people anti-fascist?

I'm walking the other way

Extremist authoritarians (which both groups are) will never get me or any good hearted person (who sees them for what they are) to "walk with them".

Since I have antifa friends and I understand antifa and know how to talk with them, definitely antifa.

I also have a tattoo of Justice with a pride flag and an obvious Jewish name, so were I to walk with the proud boys, the night might end with me eating the curb.

I fit three Jewish stereotypes; I have a German-sounding surname (it's really of Dutch origin but I have much German origin anyway) and I am a liberal. The other one... well, you can probably figure that one out. No, I do not have a particularly large nose. German-Americans often experience antisemitic bigotry due to cultural similarity to Ashkenazi Jews. As a liberal I hate everything Nazi or Nazi-like (including the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Bois, Aryan Nations, and the KKK). When it comes to culture and morals, Hitler killed my brothers and sisters.

Yeah, I'd be just as uncomfortable with both groups. Being at night with either group sounds like a total nightmare and I'd rather just go home.

I may agree more with say, Antifa on policy, but that doesn't mean I'd be comfortable walking with them; it's not like they are going to be having a civilized discussion about how taxes should be increased on the super rich or how healthcare is a right and not a privilege.

So I guess at gunpoint I'd pick antifa but both are terrrible.

I have walked down the street at night with a crowd of Antifa people. It's called going to a Sounders game. We chanted such hateful and violent slogans as:

Olé olé olé olé,
Seattle Sounders here we go!
Sky of blue and sea of green,
Seattle Sounders here we go!

100% Antifa. How is this even a question?
