agree antifa isn't actually autonomous in any meaningful sense of the word, but autonomy *is* their explicit intention. it was also the name they originally gave themselves. why are we catering to the evolving whims of a violent mob?
the twitter editorial team referring to chaz ("autonomous zone") as chop ("organized protest") strikes me as fairly straightforward propaganda in the service of a violent, far-left paramilitary movement now responsible for, among other things, murder

Hasn't the Seattle mayor been extremely encouraging about the whole endeavor though?

Even "CHOP" originally meant "Capitol Hill Occupied Protest", the new meaning was only pushed after someone with PR experience realized that calling something an occupation is a bad idea.

How about calling it the Buzzsaw Ghetto.

Meh. The flip side is that CHOP suggests the French Revolution, which is similar to what this is.
