Yeah there is nothing like a "Boogaloo Movement".

It was and is largely an inside joke amongst gun culture, and one that if I had to look at the psychology behind it appears as kind of a nervous attempt at catharsis toward the legitimate and real fear that a coming social conflict escalating into civil war is very plausible and if one were to occur the loss of everything we hold dear would result. So this joke takes that anxiety and packages it in something silly (Hawaiian shirts) as a means of coping with the real and underlying concern with humor.

So basically if you see someone and they have a long post history, are contributors and have thoughtful posting and they make some sort of boogaloo comment you could tell that it's probably someone that is exposed to gun culture over the last few years and is probably not a shill.

However if you see someone and the first thing they say when coming here is "How do you do fellow Boogaloo friends", that's sketchy as hell.

Thank you. This entire overreaction to something that has existed for years is pretty silly. There's always been joke shirts and hats and things available at gun shows. Now the internet has opened the doors so "normies" can see the memes and they are losing their minds without considering the source they are feeding from.

All these newfags need to drop the zap, grab their meth, FUCKING LURK, and not send shit till they know better.

Apply some critical thought to your fucking sources people.
