It all makes perfect sense.
If that's true-why are they teaming up with a group of violent, far-left terrorists to attack so-called "white supremacists"? The left has abandoned any sign of being able to comprehend reason.

Hell I never heard of a boogaloo boy.

One problem with politics today - as a more general thing - is that I can’t keep up with the language of it one way or the other.

You can call them “right wing” but they are not right wing in the traditional sense. These folks go well beyond white supremists. They are their own brand of right wing. Maybe they are more anarchists than anything?

Bottom line, I am glad they caught these fools. The damage they could of caused is serious. And who knows how many more of these types are out there doing this.


But the whole what ideology 'owns' them, left or right is confusing as all hell.


This doesn't make sense. lol.

More info is needed.

Ok, wait just a minute...WAIT JUST A MINUTE!
What the heck is going on?

Over a month ago the media was telling us that the 'boogaloo boys' were right-wing white supremacists and were a potential terrorist threat. But now two "boogaloo boys" are arrested for plotting to assassinate white supremacists among other things.

So what's actually going on?
The only groups I've ever heard of that want to assassinate white supremacists are leftwing radical groups.

Are we to believe that these boogaloo boys are rightwing white supremacists who want to assassinate other white supremacists? That makes absolutely no sense. You can't trust anything the media is reporting on this subject.

Boogaloo movement, boys explained: Far-right extremists ...

Far-right 'boogaloo boys' linked to California cop killing


and here the news media seems fine with calling them right-wing and working with Hamas:

2 members of far-right group Boogaloo Bois charged with attempting to support Hamas

Oh, and black Lives Matter is a peaceful group of patriotic Americans who care about the safety and well being of black people. And the media will never refer to Black Lives Matter as a left-wing group, even though they are "trained Marxists."

I have heard the Boogaloo boys are all former military.

How does that fit in with the allegation that they plotted to kill white supremacists?

Kind of like Roosevelt and Stalin teaming up to crush Hitler, you mean? OK, OK, not the best analogy, but even so.

Or like Israel and UAE joining forces against Iran.

"Federal prosecutors also allege the two men considered becoming "mercenaries" for the terrorist group in order to boost and fund the Boogaloo movement, which is loosely made up of right-wing extremists who want to overthrow the government." -- BuzzFeed

So that solves that. Boogaloo are not pro-radical Muslim, but were willing to accept money from Hamas to do joint terror work that would accomplish each other's goals.

Did you read the article or check out the pics? These "boogaloo boys" are clearly leftwingers
No, not left wing. They are far right/libertarians who hate the police and the police state. Some of them sympathize with George Floyd because they him as a victim of the heavy hand (knee?) of government. Some of them hate white supremacists because they think they are neo-Nazis who want to install a totalitarian government. Boogs are pro-gun, pro-militia and want no government or a very small one.

I know you're trying to pass these guys off onto the Left but that's not going to work. Both mainstream right and left should jointly condemn these scumbags because they have no place in our society. Since they advocate overthrow of our government they should be charged with sedition, IMHO.
