This is the first time I've heard the word boogaloo in connection with insurrection. Banning it makes it sound like a genuine threat/possibility, something I should learn more about.

Facebook is streisanding boogaloo.

It's not facebook streisanding, they've gone mainstream after years of alt-right/incel/QANON build-up. A lot of outlets are covering it and having not heard of it by now is probably getting on the back end of the bellcurve.

They're getting arrested routinely by FBI counter-terrorist police e.g. https://www.justice.gov/usao-nv/pr/joint-terrorism-task-forc...

Hawaiian shirts, Race War Electric Boogaloo, "Great Awakening", the radical right has gone off the deep end

I've seen it around. Pretty sure it's just a joke taken way out of context, or I'm just not aware of it being taken too far. I've seen the amusing memes about ATF only knowing how to shoot dogs, then there's dog whistles for mildly illegal things like hiding their now-outlawed Bump Stocks and describing that as a "boating accident" i.e. "losing" them in a lake.
