Update: people still arguing I've noticed that the Portland Protest Bureau tends to assert itself when the national eye is on us and there's a lot of pressure on officials to get things under control It's just an observation

"We've made a decision! We're going to [non-consensus location]! If you don't want to go, you don't have to! We're anarchists, were autonomous!!" I'm sorry, I laughed for like 2 minutes, really loud, please forgive me This is a shit show

"hello well-intentioned anarchists! Sometimes part of direct action is being flexible about your plans! And that's 99% of the time! We cannot get a consensus right now with so many people. If you don't want to go, go home!" I would like to reiterate that a consensus WAS reached

Let's spend the evening reading basic anarchist theory, maybe that's what we should do I am excruciatingly ill-informed on theory and even I know this is ridiculous

The journalists discuss what to do. Here are our ideas: -press-only rally at Kate Brown's house where we chant our questions -Drink in the park -Be petty and refuse to go cuz we think it's silly Unfortunately, as we learned earlier, consensus is impossible

The new plan is for me to tweet that I heard the protest is going to a bar and that everyone should go there and then we'll be at a bar and no one will ever know I influenced events oh shit I fucked this up didn't I

The location of the bar will be decided by consensus by the one anarchist here Wow this is just a shitpost thread now I'm so sorry

Ok. Ok. So basically the crowd has split. A lot of people have left for home. Others have left for Alberta Park. Most people are still here, chilling and bitching The night has fallen apart completely
