  1. So this is of course bullshit and upsetting, given that the only real threats to public safety here were threats from white nationalists and the police themselves.

      Its especially bullshit because the CHAZ had a significant houseless population, so I'm betting a lot of those "arrests" are just the police harassing the poor as per usual. Your city has a fucking housing problem and you arrest the people making an attempt to fix it, funny.

        I don't want to write my fucking obituary to the CHAZ given that I'm not on the ground and I have no way of knowing the long term impact of the CHAZ on the protests there. But I do really believe in occupation and mutual aid as a radical form of protest

          I'd say there's a difference between horizontal organization and disorganization and the CHAZ was definitely the latter. Since it was a spontaneous protest action I don't blame anyone for that, but it's obvious it makes it harder to control media narratives and rumors that way

            There's a million things we can learn from here but I know I'm going to be disappointed when I see cucked Internet lefties join in with reactionaries claiming it was all a LARP and they deserved being attacked by the cops
