PB originally were founded by a Canadian residing in the US. The accusation is that they are neo-fascist, racist, and that Canadian intel found them to be engaged not just in words, but active planning of violence, which constantly escalated. The attack on the Capitol was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I am betting that they don't even know the origin of the proud boys - made up as a "guy club" to get a jewish radio intern to score with chicks and drink beer. The name is a goof of a broadway show song from the stage production of Disney's Alladin called Proud of Your Boy. Mysogenistic? Possibly. Chauvinist - yep. But hardly what you'd call a terrorist group.
After all, they're just an idea, like antifa.
