The Cut - What’s Going On in CHAZ, the Seattle Autonomous Zone?

CHAZ may be all of these, but it is also the acronym for the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” an area of about six blocks in Seattle ceded to protesters demanding justice for George Floyd after several tense nights of standoffs with police. In the absence of law enforcement, a kind of commune has sprung up — which has now become a nightmare bogeyman for conservatives, including the president. They seem to think CHAZ is the first “territory” “claimed” by antifa radicals (antifa, which is not a formal organization, has not claimed any responsibility for CHAZ), “Mad Max movie mayhem come to life” (it has actually been described as “extremely chill”), and run by a group of “domestic terrorists” whose “warlord” is a SoundCloud rapper (also false).

So you agree with anarchistic destruction?
And you see no other rational alternative?

You do realise that there are *many* more people who do *not* agree with what is happening,
And this movement has hijacked the BLM protest?

BTW,
Have you participated?
Or are you just making a point?

Making a point. It's not that I agree with them, but a lot of these protestors are easy to dismiss. The institutions they're fighting are way more anarchic. People criticize the protestors because it's an easier battle.

Apparently they have changed their name to Capital Hill Occupy Protest because nobody actually has any interest in being an Autonomous Zone.

Feel a bit embarrassed to have swallowed the reports that they were under siege and trying to declare independence :oops:

Has the media ever been honest when reporting on anything they deem 'far-left'?
Why would anyone be surprised to discover they've lied again? It's what they do.
