Episode 5 takes a look at the Boogaloo Movement, it's origin, evolution, ideologies, and future.

I took the last week to research online Boogaloo communities and social media platforms, as well as have some conversations with purported members of the movement in an attempt to answer the question, "Is the Boogaloo Movement a white nationalist project?"

This was originally intended to be a shorter episode, but in my usual style I couldn't help but continue to dig deeper into the subject. and finished with an analysis of how people get involved, how their political radicalization progresses, and what we can do as progressives, leftists, and revolutionaries to stop it.
