    Basically Trump and the Right are presenting it as ISIS taking over a US city.

    The Left are presenting it as Barcelona in 1936.

    The truth is the city ordered the police to back off and a bunch of people are playing revolutionary, pretending that they carved out their autonomous zone by wading through seas of Fascist blood.

    However if it sets an example of a self regulating community with minimal policing required it will show Americans you can eschew excessive policing without the sky falling in.

    More likely it will be a well intentioned muddle for the summer that will end sightly messily and be fondly remembered as a bit of craic; inspirational but not sustainable.


    well said.


    It's amazing the crap people will believe no matter how stupid it sounds.


    They're throwing babies out of incubators.
    They have to eat flamingoes.
    The soldiers are being given viagra so they will rape women.
    There's a caravan of murderers about to flood across the Mexican border.


    Crap, crap and more crap.

    A real man defends weaklings like him. A coward denigrates him.


    If some Navy Seal came out and said "this kid is my fellow man and fellow countryman and anybody who threatens him will have me to deal with" all you armchair locksteppers would shut the fcuk up post-haste.

    Fairly sure that is a woman. Take your transphobic BS elsewhere please.

    I know exactly where they are. I've been to DC as well. When I said the effect will be the same maybe you could substitute Seattle based museums, cultural attractions, neighbourhoods, etc. Microsoft's headquarters close by in Redmond mightn't be too happy about the decision.


    Maybe the Puget Sound Navy Shipyard mightn't want the facility decimated either.

    You know that the blast radius of a tactical nuclear device can be controlled to be hundreds of meters, without fallout? I think Redwood and the shipyard are safe.

    Radioactive waste can't even be eliminated in a closed, low yield reaction like a power plant. Depleted uranium munitions that do NOT result in a nuclear chain reaction still pollute the air, surfaces and surrounding areas with radioactive particulate aerosol. How the hell can a nuclear detonation, no matter how small not coat debris in radioactive byproducts, blow it up into the air and there be no fallout?

    A little bit of fallout never hurt anyone.

    Correct. Who doesn’t want extra organs? They can be sold when times are tough. And if lucky they may regrow.

    Oh give over. Everything mockable about him is something he's done to himself, nothing to do with his size. If Tumblr could take a sh*t it would look like him.

    They should be broadcasting this to the world 24/7 they'd make a fortune.

    It'd be like a cross between The Truman Show/Love Island/Eastenders....it could actually be a classic...watching rich kids play poor in real time, without body lotion.

    It really was a strategic f*ck up. They should have chosen somewhere along the shore of Elliot Bay for their land grab. They'd have access to the Pacific which would obviously make it easier to import and export. Could also have invaded Amazon headquarters.

    'The Autonomous Zone' I wonder who came up with that. It sounds like something from Doctor Who or Star Trek

    Couldn't they have thought of something a bit more friendly and cuddly sounding?

    I think it sounds perfect for the unthinking drones that make up its population.

    Honestly it's like when a child threatens to leave home and storm down the street to a bus stop without even taking a bag. Should be hilarious when it implodes under the pressure of reality.

    Love the irony of these hippies imposing border controls as well.

    A table of genders that can have periods? Surely all genders can have periods at this stage...It's all a bit confusing to me.

    I wouldn't insult hippies by calling these types hippies. Maybe I'm being naive, but I remember hippies being more reasonable leftists, at least by today's standards. Most of these types are pretty radical communists and anarchists.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    I remember when hippies were chill and got stoned. I miss those hippies. New age hippies act like they are on meth.
