Last night I watched a video where boog bois in gun-themed …

1) If shit gets weird & they ditch the loud shirts, they'll be somewhat identifiable by their distinct choice in guns & gear. They like FNs, short AR-style carbines & pistols, & glocks. Everything uses the most common ammo types & clips.

2) Why those guns? Because these guys are like analytical engineer-type gamers with a serious survivalist bent in their thinking. Everything is optimized for weight & interchangeability with their own & hypothetical enemy weapons.

3) Basically, they're NERDS applying zombie apocalypse logic to a hypothetical civil war. They even use the word "combos" (gamer slang) when talking about which guns to include in your kit.

4) Other crossovers with gamer culture abound. Goofy cartoon unicorn patches, thick glasses, and pop culture tats. They're potentially violent non-state actors, but they also clearly watch Adventure Time or something.

5) Despite a political rant at the beginning of the video, their actual intentions are a puzzle. When they talk guns, everything they say is logical, concise, and scarily well thought out. When they talk politics, I don't know wtf they're hinting at because JARGON.

6) Lemme repeat what @jesawyer said if you're not reading the comments: a ton of their info on what guns to use is very public. They've just customized their own specific doctrine on what to use based on a scenario where they're operating as insurgents. #boogbois

7) Having a group doctrine on what guns you own means you're practicing preparedness for the scenarios envisaged by the doctrine -- in this case, civil insurgency. If they were just gun hobbyists, they'd have a mishmosh of guns based on personal prefs.

8) Honestly, looking at the boogaloos, I imagine I feel like right-wingers must when they're trying to get their heads around antifa. They're too libertarian in some ways to broadly categorize. #boogaloobois

9) For those who'd like a visual of the end result, here's a group of boogaloo bois fully kitted out. If a shootout started, most of them can reload from a dead friend or fallen LEO. Photo by Robert Kilips, Lansing State Journal.

10) For comparison, here's intention-telegraphing insurrectionist Ziptie Guy, who's not a boog as far as we know, wearing it better. He had more to spend than our bois in Michigan, but also unlike them, he's not here to put on a show -- he's here to work.
