Sounds more like Manson disciples that escaped the commune to me.

Some boogaloo groups are white supremacist or neo-Nazi and specifically believe that the boogaloo will be a race war.[4][7][19] Some boogaloo groups have condemned racism.[10][20] The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has said that "few of [the boogaloo movement's] adherents are interested in aligning with Black Lives Matter or antifascist protesters against police brutality".[3] According to The Guardian, "there's real disagreement, even among experts who monitor extremist groups, about whether the 'boogaloo' movement as a whole should be described as 'white supremacist'" and that analysts from the ADL and Middlebury's Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism (CTEC) have argued that "a significant number of 'boogaloo' supporters are genuinely not white supremacist". The researchers have described the movement as having two wings: "one advocating for race war and one obsessed with societal breakdown and rebellion against the government".[24] However, "other experts say that lip service from some 'boogaloo' supporters about wanting to be a multi-racial movement should not be taken seriously".[24] According to Joan Donovan, director of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, "[w]e're equivocating for the sake of an imagined audience. The idea that you would dismantle the US government at this stage is to undo the protections that have been granted to black people, queer people, disabled people, to stop foreign policy related to immigration. There are always racialized and eugenic sub-themes in these groups. That's what war is, at its base. It's about who should live. I don't think you can get away from the ways in which the rhetoric supports a white supremacist ideology, once you start talking about the kinds of policies or strategies they think need to be implemented".[24]
Everybody just pick your favorite side and run with it, I guess.

I would say more along the lines of Ruby Ridge.

Heres an article about them from USA today
USA Today on antifa

Is antifa violent?
Members pointedly do not eschew violence but rather see themselves as engaging in "self-defense," protecting other protesters and primarily confronting neo-Nazis and white supremacists to deny them a platform to publicly spread their views.

What happened at Ruby Ridge doesn’t really apply. The Weaver family wasn’t trying to start a race war and while anti government, they just wanted to be left alone.

Yeah, at the end of the day it doesn't matter if they're far right or far left. Being that far on whatever political spectrum doesn't negate that entire spectrum's validity. I don't assume all right-leaning people are shitty because of a group like the KKK just like I don't assume that all left-leaning people are shitty because of a group like antifa. Bad is bad, and we should be calling it out regardless and not attaching it to the larger political picture.

Trying to understand who they are here. Seems like many are defending them. Are they aligned with BLM?
They want to start a race war that they call "the boogaloo" and most are white supremacists. Does that sound like BLM to you?

"The Boogaloo Boys aren't even a real organization."
Am I doing it right?

They are no doubt anti-government anarchists, but their alignment with BLM is not clear. Some say they only use that to help further sow dissent to advance their ultimate goal of all out civil war. Who knows. All I know is they are some bad dudes and we'd be better off without them.
This is what happens when "everyone" tries to plot a group on a binary level. The Boog groups share ideas from the left, the right, and libertarian views. From an infographic representation POV a radar graph would make more sense. Most Boog group members probably vote Libertarian or Republican if nothing else for 2A reasons but that makes them no more fully representative of either of these parties than BLM is of the Democrats.
