Your reading comprehension needs some work. Just because they know how to have fun and share a laugh doesn't mean they are a joke.
The Boogaloo is a meme. The igloo, the flowery shirts, all that mess is the joke.
The part about wanting to defend rights/freedoms/Constitution isn't a joke.
If you take away all of the Boogaloo memes, the igloos, the flowery shirts the want to defend rights/freedoms/Constitution is still there.
Dude, I spend my days reading and signing high-dollar contacts and negotiating lease agreements with multi-million dollar tenants. I can read just fine. Worry less about my reading comprehension skills and more about the way you structure your sentences to prove a point.

Got a problem with privately owned companies like Reddit and Facebook doing what they want? Take it up with the capitalist system. That system has allowed the growth of individually owned empires to dominate our entire economic system. Those privately owned entities have been granted citizenship by the conservatives of both political parties and now we are reaping the disaster their growth was warned about by all leftists from long long ago.
Conservative America has in the past defended the growth of large corporations on the assumption that the stronger the corporation, the freer the corporation, the less restrictions on corporate action and profit would naturally mean more jobs as the ''trickle down'' economics of the 80s and onward would benefit all Americans.
That bed was made by conservative belief systems so now there is no room to cry from conservatives who continue to believe in this system of economics.
Facebook and Reddit can so what ever the hell they want.

I barely know what a boogaloo is.
What is their agenda?
Why are they a group? What are they promoting?

Depends on who you listen to.
According to OP and their like, they're simply "patriots," but according to most others they are a far right white extremist group intent on causing division, targeted conflict, destabilization and the new civil war.

I went back and read some of the earlier posts by the op.
Seems groups like these are in the eye of the beholder, as far as what they “want”.
The arrests, the first of known Boogaloos, put a spotlight on a shadowy movement. Law enforcement officials say it is one of a handful of radical groups – both from the left and right of the ideological spectrum – that have attempted to advance their cause by exploiting nationwide protests against police violence and government lock-downs of the economy.
