We have one. I moved a bunch of posts and started it a few weeks ago. Unless someone beats me to it, I’ll update in a bit.
National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)
- Thread starter Ooh-Rah
- Start date
The media and Gardai definitely won't advertise it. I got it from an inside source and it's still being investigated. BLM has been very active in Ireland and the UK recently. There's some backlash because the recent BLM protests are being investigated and criminal charges are pending.
So honest question; is BLM a loose movement of groups with somewhat similar goals or an organized operation?
Because I mentioned a few days ago about the boog boi killing cops and basically had multiple members attempt to argue "they aren't a real movement", even though people associated with that camp keep getting arrested for terrorism plots/murder.
By the same token, we'll see basically ever act of violence in this thread attributed to BLM/ANTIFA, even if there isn't a good link.
Why do some of y'all treat the Boogaloo groups with kids gloves?

Gotcha. I know the UK/Euro media is a bit more closed off about "breaking news" than the US is, so if you have a source I'll take your word for it.

Calling things Boogaloo groups when they're in fact just extremist groups that the left has chosen to label as such is probably why you're getting push back. The left also doesn't want to address to violent fringes of their side...hello Antifa. Armed wings of BLM. Right Wing extremists aren't getting a pass by us. But labeling them as "boogaloo groups" isn't really that accurate because the "boogaloo" is a 4 Chan joke.

I don't know if that is exactly true 'every act of violence', and I think in recent weeks especially, most members are getting better about linking or backing up their accusations or claims. That said, there is nothing wrong with calling someone out for more clarification, (like you recently did with @RackMaster ).
If you (or any member) thinks a member is not being held to the same standard as everyone else and you don't want to publicly call it out, "report it". Someone from the staff will review and if necessary, call attention to it. No harm no foul.
Oh I fully understand it started as a dumb 4chan thing.
But when the dude is scrawling "Boog" in blood on the blood of a car, its not a joke anymore.
Man accused in deputy ambush scrawled extremist 'Boogaloo' phrases in blood
ETA: This is why I bring up "Boogaloo" as a movement, not a specific group. A whole bunch of nationalist/sovereign citizens/anarchist types fall under that.

I was just going to post the same. I'm just about ready to pull the plug.
I'm headed out to my place in MT next week. I'm going to start looking a little harder at making it permanent.
BLM in Canada calling for defunding of the police.

In the same sense that when BLM is spray painted on buildings that have been torched?
I'm on the "they're all bad train". Because they all are.
ETA: Who has burnt down our cities? That's probably why you're getting pushback.

Okay dead serious question, I am trying to understand....
Is Boogaloo an extremist version of the right, the same way Antifa is an extremist version of the left?
If that is the case, has Trump declared Boogaloo a terrorist organization the same way he has Antifa?
Or is that part of the problem, we 'righties' are quick to blame Antifa for everything, but we won't acknowledge that Boogaloo even exists?
To add, the term Boog or Boogaloo is gay as fuck.

This is where the problem is. Antifa is obviously an organization. The Boogalo so far is just a loose connection to right wing extremists.
I honestly forgot that we made this split.
At least in the 757 area code, they are very organized.

It's a ridiculous question. There is a possibility that boog lua folks could be eventually viewed or associated with established groups, but the extremism is coming from fringe lone-wolf types that might have indicators on forums that the FBI will be tracking, much like a lot of others
BLM is well established

Why is it ridiculous?
Please, try to explain it to me/us?
Please know, this is not said with any sarcasm, snark, or anything else. Why is it (in your opinion) ridiculous to suggest that Antifa and Boog are analogous?

Because if the question is in good faith, you've been ignoring pages worth of content regarding this topic in multiple threads.
