[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4640347, member: 18222"] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogaloo_movement'][SIZE=7][B]Boogaloo movement[/B][/SIZE][/URL] Nothing wrong with the below 'Beliefs'. Not my thing and I also don't belong to groups ... groups do stupid s:censored:t at times. I only view guns as a self-defense tool. My take on Boogaloo is they are comparable to Antifa and the BLM organization (not the BLM movement). [SIZE=5][B]Beliefs and structure[/B][/SIZE] Groups in the boogaloo movement are far-right, anti-government, and pro-gun. The movement has also been described as a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_(United_States)']militia[/URL], and Lois Beckett, writing for [I][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian']The Guardian[/URL][/I], has compared it to the right-wing anti-government militia and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_movement']patriot movements[/URL] of the 1990s and 2000s, stating that "supporters see the current federal government as illegitimate, while remaining deeply patriotic.
