This anti-government “boogaloo” rhetoric has already been publicly linked to at least least 15 arrests and five deaths, including the murder of a federal security guard and a sheriff’s deputy in California, according to media reports and analysts who track extremists.
Facebook, the primary social media platform for boogaloo discussions, announced on Tuesday that it was banning a network of violent “boogaloo” groups, and designating them as a dangerous organization similar to the Islamic State group and white supremacists. Researchers who have followed the growth of Boogaloo on the platform say the move was “too little, too late”.
The Trump administration has done even less to address the growth of this new violent rightwing movement, one with strong overlaps with neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizing.
When Donald Trump tweeted angrily about “Treason, Sedition, Insurrection!” in late June, he was not denouncing the young men who are openly calling for civil war, but the nonviolent Black Lives Matter movement. Many black activist organizations are currently focused on defunding police departments and reinvesting the money in community services. Don't see "liberals" like Tim Pool reporting this lot.
