When President Donald Trump urged Americans last month to “LIBERATE VIRGINIA” on Twitter, a private Facebook group named “Boogaloo Enthusiasts: CORONAPOCALYPSE” welcomed the tweet.

“Did Trump just call for boogaloo?,” one member wrote, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. “Well, you heard the man! Let’s go bois,” another responded.

Membership in Facebook groups focused on violent anti-government uprisings in the U.S. has doubled in recent weeks as the coronavirus pandemic has spread and governments impose restrictions aimed at slowing the contagion.

To get their message across, these groups are exploiting loopholes in Facebook anti-violence policies -- using satire, code words and other tactics that mask their motives, according to experts who follow fringe groups on social media. One of the more common such phrases is “boogaloo,” which can refer to a kind of music but more recently has come to describe a pending civil war.

The boogaloo groups, and other extremist groups deploying similar tactics, pose yet another test for the Menlo Park, California-based social media giant, as it tries to strike a workable balance between allowing free discourse and curbing disinformation or those encouraging violence and law breaking.

Between February and April, the number of boogaloo Facebook groups grew from about 75 to 125, according to an April report by the Tech Transparency Project. Membership doubled to 70,000 in a monthlong period ending in late April, according to the report.

If you ban Boogaloo, we'll big igloo instead.  

If you come for our big igloos, we'll get ya a pile of snow plow sea cow instead.

When the fun police take away our sea cows we'll kick over a Sadie Hawkins dance instead.

If the Karen's double down on Sadie Hawkins there's still going to be a great rama-lama-lama and if they take that away from us we'll always have our great Catalina wine mixer.

Moral of the story: you can't stop the signal and you can't stop what's coming.

LoL "codewords".

You mean like how when liberals say "diversity" , they really mean "white genocide" ?

Or when they say "progressive" , they really mean "tyrannical"?

Or when they say "rich & vibrant", it's actually a euphemism for "get violent and kill whitey"?

I can do this aaaaaallllll daaaaaaaaayyyyyyy...
