What The_Walrus said.
These are not off the grid hippies or survivalists or basic right wing militia members.
Boogaloos take their name from some stupid movie only they have ever heard of and are basically civil war 2 instigators - they believe their purpose is to kill cops/FBI etc and incite a second civil war in the USA. They’re also white supremacists and want the 2nd civil war to be fought over the same racial divisions as the 1st one.
IMO, they’re not just passionate insurrectionists, they’re a domestic terrorist organization and identifying as a member should be enough to land one in jail.
Also, as weird as it is, their uniform trademark is to wear Hawaiian shirts (which I’m sure makes Indigenous Hawaiians vomit) because Boogaloo sorta looks and sounds like “big luau.” Which is kind of sh***y.. I have several Hawaiian shirts and a couple of them are quite nice - but this Summer might not be the time to wear them Just In Case anyone thinks I’m endorsing these clowns. :/

I have only ever heard of it because of references to it in articles about these losers.

When right wing groups do violence it's a mortal sin,when left wing groups do it all the time it's ok,glad I now understand
No, we're mostly saying that it's a problem for right wing groups to profiteer & make power grabs using violence as a political tool. You don't see the left calling antifa "some great people" or whatever contrived BS you put up with Trump praising neonazis with.
In addition to deny/counteraccuse, now we're seeing the alt-right behaving like targeted individuals to score sympathy points. If you're feeling backed into a corner due to political controversy, stop feeding it. Calling the left wing violent hypocrites only creates more violent hypocrites.

And also sympathetic to the inland Northwest Yahwehist cults of old,like the Phinius Priesthood.
Even left-wing anarchist punk band Propagandhi have expressed sympathy for the Weaver family over the murder of their family members. I'm not sure sympathy for the Weaver family is proof of one's ideological leanings.
I'm not sure if Boogs are genuinely far-right or if they're just shit-disturbers trolling while ultimately in it for the lulz and without a more defined agenda.
