Some strange, bold social experiment has been ongoing in Seattle for several nights now, and much of the world has been enthralled by it.
I’m speaking, of course, about the “Capital Hill Autonomous Zone” or “#CHAZ” as it has come to be known. This six block area of the downtown Seattle area has been claimed by “the people” after the local police precinct was abandoned by the authorities.
And while the circumstances of the CHAZ’s inception may have you under the impression that this is some sort of hippy commune, the fascist principles appear to run heavy with these revolutionaries.
Photos from CHAZ show the border controls:

Then, on top of that…
Likewise, CHAZ occupants have seemingly conducted at least one deportation.
On Thursday, reporter Julio Rosas captured a moment where CHAZ occupants kicked out a man who said he was a pro-life activist and had been live-streaming from inside the autonomous zone.
The man was taunted by a mob as he was kicked out. The process was far less technical and impartial than the deportation process of the United States federal government.
One can only imagine that these actions run counter to the ideas of unity and tolerance that are forever prevalent on the left side of the aisle.
