        The anarchist have been around Pdx Sea for decades. They love the instability and have found new bff to larp with in the patriot prayer or proud boys.

        I’d encourage you to examine the possibility that things exist in contrast.

        In Burlington, VT protestors rounded up and burned copies of the local paper after it published an unfavorable article describing the cult-like nature of the movement. In the offending article, one of the former leaders of the protests had this to say:pic.twitter.com/eONW82DJ80

        There r so many angry disenfranchised youth. When u don’t learn a really fun sport or skill, then u have nothing to do with all ur energy. It can only be funneled into... anger at the way the world is be destroyed & disadvantaged. Our mental health is tied to environmental health

        "And yet, I had to admit that the scale of destruction caught the media’s attention in a way that peaceful protests hadn’t" anarquist are "aggressively independent-minded" but seems that you don't support such thinking

        How does it feel "to be on passively conventional-minded side"

        I know these anarchists well as a social justice activist in one of the cities mentioned. This take is exactly right. You have to work around them to get anything done. The exhausting part of organizing is the delicate politics of handling them.

        And despite this small fringe who have existed in the PNW for decades, the police take the bait every time - because, as the anarchists well know, police just can’t suppress their need to control with violence. It’s clearly all they know.
