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.
"In some cities, they were a fringe element, quickly expelled by peaceful organizers. But in Washington, Portland and Seattle they have attracted a 'cultlike energy,' Mr. Quinn told me."https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/opinion/anarchists-protests-black-lives-matter.html …
