    They are absolutely a petite bourgeois movement. You are correct. Not every petite bourgeois movement is fascist, though.

    but every fascist movement has been petit bourgeoisie. you got a bowl of skittles and half of them are poisoned, are you really gonna stick your hand in there and eat one?

    I have talked to a few. They have all been radicalized Liberals: pro-LGBTQ, pro-civil liberties, pro-capitalist, etc. I’m hardly convinced they are all in a conspiracy to fuck with me.

    you do realize thats part of the grift right? they're trying to get you to believe that they're more right wing than they actually let on by just listing random popular progressive movements.

    There have been terror attacks attributed to Boogaloo people in the Midwest, notably the Gritchen Whitmer kidnapping & the planned murder of cops in Cuyahoga Falls. Both have been confirmed FBI set-ups, and I don’t trust the FBI story around them. Seems that it they were a Cleveland Five situation.

    i mean yeah alphabet bad, but like kyle rittenhouse? was he an fbi op? boogs literally worship him lmfao

    Besides that, I have seen reports from journalists in Lansing and Columbus film them alongside progressive forces. So, there seems to be a large radlib element to it.

    nazis waved around red flags and called themselves socialists too. doesn't mean shit, once again it's all part of the grift.

    I want to be careful when picking enemies, since I’m in an area unfriendly to communists.

    you do realize that they're like fervently anti-communist right? like they would literally night-of-long-kinives your ass so fucking quick

      Every communist revolution has had petite bourgeois elements, so I don't think this is a sound position.

      you do realize thats part of the grift right? they’re trying to get you to believe that they’re more right wing than they actually let on by just listing random popular progressive movements.

      So, are you saying there's a widespread conspiracy to mask their political views? I don't follow that. I'd bet there are fascists acting as boogaloo boys since it is just a label, not a organization, like BLM & Antifa. But the general politics I've seen from boogaloo identifying people has not been that. It's been absolutely Radlib.

      I found a Sun Times articles which claims a man patrolling with Kyle Rittenhouse shared boogaloo memes on Facebook. I wouldn't be surprised if that's true, although the posts are no longer up. I have not seen reporting on general boogaloo response to the shooting, so I'll poke through big "boogaloo" Twitter accounts for a bit.

      No. They got into street-fights with socialists, trade unionists, progressives, etc. They were more similar to the Proud Boys & the America First crowd.

      Yeah, I don't want to become a boogaloo. I want to have a measured approach to them.
