Rejecting Biden’s message of unity, Portland’s self-described anarchists target a Democratic Party building
PORTLAND, Ore. — About 150 self-described anarchists dressed in black — many also wearing helmets, balaclavas and body armor — gathered in a parking lot just east of downtown Portland Wednesday afternoon for an Inauguration Day rally.
Their political views were hard to pin down.
“We are ungovernable,” read a banner laid out on the pavement.
Before the day was over, windows were shattered at the state Democratic Party headquarters, and police in riot gear were chasing demonstrators into the darkness.
Portland Police Sgt. Kevin Allen said that police “quickly identified several suspects responsible for damage and related criminal activity” and made multiple arrests.
The scene harkened back to a summer of unrest here, where protests over racial justice persisted for well over 100 days, with peaceful demonstrations giving way to nightly battles between activists bent on destruction and authorities who declared riots and fired tear gas.
Demonstrations had become less frequent recently, and it seemed possible that with President Trump out of office, the movement might subside. But when organizers sent out a call on social media for Wednesday’s rally, familiar faces were visible in the crowd.

These fucks put the Chaos Star from Warhammer on their banner? Really? Or is an eight-pointed star actually an Anarchist thing? Originally Posted by Deus Mortis

25 years of collecting miniatures and I never knew. Huh. Thanks! Allthough if I was a betting man I'd still wager a guess that's where these clowns got it from. Originally Posted by Chelly

Fox news trying to call these folks the far left. Ah yes, far left anarchists: that rare breed of very confused people looking to abolish government to help enact a plethora of social welfare programs... Originally Posted by Deus Mortis

Does that mean you are saying all the shitty actions of Antifa and the like aren't the fault of Democrats? Originally Posted by Deus Mortis

I mean, anarchists are not Democrats pretty much by any definition you want to pick...
...unless you go by Fox News' definition, which seems to be "those who protest and don't wear Trump paraphernalia".

Anarchists are generally anti-governance so... yeah, it all checks out that they would oppose Democrats, or Republicans or any other independent who desires some form of governance.

If anything, the GoP is the party of "small government" and "less government interference", or at least they claim to be. Originally Posted by Dezerte

One could then argue that anarchists have more in common with them. Originally Posted by PhaelixWW

Gotta be pretty tough to come to terms with the fact that they got conned into betraying their country by an incompetent dipshit who wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. It's that or triple down--I have seen claims now that Biden and Trump switched faces, that really it's all happening on 1/30/21, that Trump is actually running everything, that Trump deliberately put Biden in power.

What’s wrong with the idea that anarchists will unleash a plague on the world? That’s pretty much the summery of the 2020 RNC... Originally Posted by gondrin

Honestly, if anyone trolls a QAnon board, they should put down the plotline of Twelve Monkeys but change a handful of things around. See if they run with it. Originally Posted by Felya
