Wanna know the funniest part? All this bullshit is based on a disproven theory about wolves, but then 4chan adopted as a kinda meme and then these fuckers took it seriously. Absolute fucking clown shit.
In my experience the people who describe people as “Alphas and Betas” are almost always described as “betas” by their own language.
Its wild to me that there is general knowledge of the term ‘Boogaloo Boys’, but … even amongst left wingers who purport to study the movement … somehow very few people seem to actually know its origin, which is of course a stupid 4chan joke turned into a meme taken waaaaay too seriously.
Its literally just the (thing happening again): Electric Boogaloo joke, in this case the recurring thing being ‘Civil War’.
Which itself is a joke that is based on a laughably bad and obscure movie from 1984, Breakin’2: Electric Boogaloo, a sequel to a movie about break dancing.
I remember just casually being able to use (thing 2): Electric Boogaloo as a joke amongst other nerds for any topic a decade ago, and now you can’t say Boogaloo because edgelords decided to actually try it so if you use the term around a ‘political’ zoomer or alpha, they think youre a terrorist.
Oh, you know, just in about half the widely publicized instances of right wing extremists committing hate crimes or domestic terrorism or what not since about 2019.
The incidents linked on this wiki page are far from exhaustive.
As wiki states, the term originated over a decade ago as basically a joke format, but was used with increasing regularity by right wing extremists in the lead up to and during the trump administration.
I guess you haven’t watched much news in the last decade?

Sum up the last 8 years in one sentence, man that hits too hard
The fact that so much bullshit started out as a fucking meme on /b/ is proof there is no God and we have failed as a species.
Imagine shit posting so hard that you collapse the government…
You fucking joke but it has happened.
It’s wild to me. I remember. About 8 years ago in college talking to my roomie saying I heard the news lady try to talk about 4chan today. . .
