Kevin Brady. Duane Manning. Lorenzo Milani. My stepfather is like a 3yr old. He always thinks he is right. We had an argument about the word stag. My stepfather said that stag was not a male deer, and I said it was.
After arguing about it for a while, I got the dictionary and looked it up. One of the definitions for stag, was male deer. I showed him and he still said it wasn't! Like the book is wrong. That was about a year ago. I have now learned that you might think the person who always thinks they are right is an idiot, but you are an idiot for arguing with them. Wow, I wrote a lot today. I guess I was making up for the short post the other day! Well must go not, I think Wayne and Pat are home, bye! Sad days I am at my grandparents, and wish I wasn't.
Not that I don't like them, just they are very different than I am. I am going home tomorrow though. I miss Pat the most, he is so cool. Well I don't feel like writing much right now, I am going to bed, later. Won't be writing for a while I won't be writing for the next few days.
I am leaving to go my friends cottage tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday some time. Then on Monday I am going to my grand parents for about a week. I do not know If I will get a chance to write there or not.
I am looking at this msn group called Ask A Witch Community. The title of this post is a link to the webpage if you want to visit it. I joined, it seems good so far. The creation and sharing of memes is especially important to the boogaloo movement.
These combinations of text and imagery are a key way the movement spreads its ideas. Boogalooers memes often use common internet jokes and pop culture and video game references to communicate their beliefs.
In boogaloo internet spaces it is common to see memes glorifying the future civil war, emphasizing the need to prepare for it, encouraging violent behavior, espousing hostility towards law enforcement, or even mocking how crazy boogalooers must appear to outsiders. In the tradition of shitposting, these memes are steeped in humor and irony, a tactic that serves three purposes.
First, they make boogaloo messaging more appealing because people enjoy humor and are more likely to share a humorous meme.
Second, boogalooers make the content more digestible by softening the violent underpinnings of some of their beliefs: while many people might reject an explicit call for violence against police, some might be more receptive to a meme that cloaks such violent sentiment with an overlay of humor. Finally, humor-infused memes provide posters with plausible deniability if they are questioned by authorities, since they can claim they were only joking.
Though boogaloo-related memes typically take the outward form of common internet jokes, the messages are often rife with in-group language and shared cultural references.
This in-group language helps followers identify fellow boogaloo supporters and avoid censorship. These original variations inspired much of the boogaloo iconography, including Hawaiian shirts, tropical patches, and the igloo that appears on the boogaloo flag. Though boogaloo movement activity remains predominantly online, by late boogalooers had started to venture into the physical world, a process that accelerated in In particular, boogalooers have been drawn to three types of protests and events: 1 rallies promoting gun rights or opposing gun control measures; 2 the nationwide protests in April and May decrying coronavirus lockdown measures implemented by state governments; and 3 the Black Lives Matter protests across the country that followed the killing of George Floyd in May.
Each type of event reflects a different concern of the boogaloo movement. Firearms first drew boogalooers into the public sphere, as states around the country debated gun control measures in the wake of high profile shootings like the August El Paso shooting spree by white supremacist Patrick Crusius. Before the event, some commenters had called for a boogaloo in response to any effort to impose stricter gun measures; the VCDL itself encouraged this attitude by sharing a YouTube video that asked whether the boogaloo was about to begin in Virginia.
In spring , coronavirus-related events took center stage. As the virus spread, prompting many states to implement lockdown measures to combat it, the anti-authority boogaloo movement found a new cause. Protests against lockdown measures began in late March, organized largely by antigovernment extremists, and gained steam in April as more mainstream conservative organizations picked up the cause. Boogalooers appeared at a number of these anti-lockdown protests, framing the lockdown measures as the efforts of a tyrannical government to strip Americans of their liberties.
At protests across the country, boogalooers attended rallies as individuals or in small groups, sometimes openly advocating for a civil war. Most wore Hawaiian shirts and many were armed. At one rally in Olympia, Washington, on April 19, Matt Marshall, the leader of a local Three Percenter group, encouraged his followers to come wearing the boogaloo-linked clothing.
Usually, boogaloo supporters appeared at protests organized by others. In early lockdown protests, boogalooers tended to take a relatively passive role, letting their attire, symbols, and firearms send messages for them. One of the arrested protesters, Wyatt Winn , had liked numerous boogaloo pages on Facebook, posed for photos with armed men wearing Hawaiian shirts, and shared memes referencing Duncan Lemp. The killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers on May 25 and the many protests that followed opened the way for more boogaloo activity.
Boogalooers were on the ground in Minneapolis itself in the early days of protests; some even made a cross-country trek to participate. In the months that followed, boogalooers became a common presence at protests against police brutality. In May, to give just a few examples, boogalooers joined protests in Louisville , Kentucky; held a boogaloo flag in Norfolk , Virginia; and expressed anti-police sentiments in Dallas , Texas. At some, members of the movement simply joined other protesters. Boogaloo involvement in BLM protests was not always peaceful.
In Columbia, South Carolina, two boogaloo supporters were arrested during a May 30 protest. One individual was charged with inciting a riot and aggravated breach of peace after he allegedly threw a water bottle at police officers during a protest; a second person faced numerous charges after allegedly stealing a police jacket from a police vehicle.
More notably, three self-identified members of the boogaloo movement were arrested on May 30 in Las Vegas at a parking lot near a BLM protest while in possession of materials to make Molotov cocktails.
At a protest the previous day, one conspirator allegedly urged the crowd to use violence; at the time of their arrest, the three boogalooers were reportedly discussing how best to use their Molotovs against law enforcement. Boogalooer involvement in BLM and other protests evolved during the summer of as they attended more events in greater numbers across the country, with some even attending as cohesive groups.
