Boogaloo movement > the Boogaloo Bois

— a decentralized, very online successor

to the ­­militia movement of the ’80s and ’90s —­

whose adherents are fixated

on attacking law enforcement

and violently toppling the U.S. government.

Researchers say

the movement began

coalescing online in 2019

as people — mostly young men —

angry with what they perceived

to be increasing government repression,

found each other on Facebook groups

and in private chats.

In movement vernacular,

Boogaloo refers

to an inevitable and imminent armed revolt,

and members often call themselves

Boogaloo Bois, boogs or goons.

In the weeks since Jan. 6,

an array of extremist groups

have been named

as participants in the Capitol invasion.

The Proud Boys.  QAnon believers.

White nationalists. The Oath Keepers.

But the Boogaloo Bois are notable

for the depth of their commitment

to the overthrow of the U.S. government

and the jaw-dropping criminal histories

of many members.

upside-down American flag

The upside-down American flag,

originally an apolitical symbol used by sailors

to signal that their ship was in trouble,

has since been adopted

by both the political left and right in protest.

Across the political spectrum,

it's been used to express dissent

on a range of issues,

including gun violence, the Flint water crisis

and the overturning of the Roe v. Wade ruling

that protected the right to an abortion.

In recent years, however,

the usage of the flipped U.S. flag

has seen a partisan shift more frequently taken up

by the extreme right.

upside-down US flag / inverted flag >

the “Appeal to Heaven” flag

(...)

originates from the Revolutionary war

nd has in recent years become

a symbol of far-right Christian extremism,

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/22/
samuel-alito-flag

The inverted flag is a symbol

that has become associated with Trump’s

false claims that Joe Biden stole the election.

Used by some Trump supporters

during the January 6 Capitol riot,

the upside-down flag was seen

outside Alito’s home on 17 January 2021

– 10 days after the riot in DC

nd three days before Biden’s inauguration,

according to a report in the New York Times

on Friday.
