MilitiaWatchThe Boogaloo movement is a broad and disconnected absurdist right-wing movement deeply connected to far-right armed activism and internet humor. The movement’s name is derived from a white nationalist meme about the second US civil war (the ‘Boogaloo’), which original posters described as a race war. The Boogaloo movement originates out of online posting in 2018 but came into broad public knowledge in 2020 as its adherents began seeking to use BLM demonstrations as a fulcrum towards open, armed combat.
Below, you will find all MilitiaWatch articles mentioning the movement.
