“i know that quirky short sleeved shirts has been a bit of a transman…”

wait what? what happened?

the boogaloo dumbasses are picking up traction finally, so if you google it you can find articles that go more in depth (here), but among a specific brand of Internet Racists, boogaloo is shorthand for race war. shorthand for boogaloo is big luau. for the past year (?) or so, turning up to a protest in a hawaiian shirt has served a signal that you love hitler and want america to descend into a race war by any means possible.

richmond rally

open state protests

minneapolis may 26 (”big igloo” is another reference, hence)

yes i know

so wearing a hawaiian shirt is becoming more and more visibly a far right symbol. wearing anything that looks like a hawaiian shirt, at least in the context of a protest, is a bad idea. and if you see a white person wearing a hawaiian shirt or a skull mask or holding a sign or wearing a patch with an igloo, at a george floyd protest please DO take a photo of their face and send it to me
