Also, the term far-right term "boogaloo"-- which refers to an anti-government uprising and subsequent race war-- was stolen from an all-Black dance crew, the Electric Boogaloos, of Fresno, CA.

The dance is referenced by James Brown& #39;s 1968 "Say It Loud, I& #39;m Black and I& #39;m Proud." https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1262123574590148609">https://twitter.com/AntiFashG...
Basically, the dance became popular in the 1960s, was used by the crew, and from there, became the subheading of 1980s cult classic "Breakin& #39; 2: Electric Boogaloo."

From there, a Reddit poster referred to "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo," and was picked up by the far-right.
If you want to take an overarching point from this, it& #39;s that fascists have never cared about history, only their own mythology.

History-- to them-- is whatever they say it is.

They don& #39;t care about truth, which is why we don& #39;t debate. We deplatform.
