If you work in politics or media and aren’t familiar with “boogaloo,” you should read this. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/05/27/the-boogaloo-movement-is-not-what-you-think/">https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020...

In the 1990s a lot of people who should have been aware of the rise of violent far-right movements weren’t — until Timothy McVeigh blew up a building in Oklahoma City and killed 168 people.

A similar dynamic exists now; I see it in the way some people react when I warn of the possibility for large-scale political violence.

Except now there is far more danger: wider range of extremists, Trump/GOP egging them on, Facebook/tech cos helping recruit/organize, Russia...

This shit is serious, and dismissing it as paranoid isn’t savvy, it’s dangerous. And it probably means you haven’t taken the time to learn about the threats, which is understandable — nobody has time to know about everything. But maybe listen to folks who have studied it.
