The right is laughing at this. It's a caricature of hyper-hypocritical extreme leftism, which would be criticized as unrealistic if such a story were depicted in a movie.
In addition to the hilarious requests for "vegan meat substitutes" because "the homeless we invited in took our food", the new separatist country has:
- A heavily armed security force on the perimeter and within the territory, even though the group is demanding a dismantling of police in Seattle. So policing is bad? Good? I'm not sure.
- Everyone attempting to enter is stopped, their ID is checked, and they are frisked for weapons -- which is exactly what the "stop and frisk" policing policy does, which the left has long criticized as super racist.
- Graffiti isn't allowed in certain places in this new country. The heavily armed security force (which totally isn't the equivalent of a police force) has been roaming the streets and protecting "sympathetic businesses" from being tagged. So wait a minute... now they're for the rights of the innocent business owner not to get vandalized by protesters? Now policing graffiti with heavy weaponry is good?
I realize these are a bunch of dumbasses, and this idiotic fake country doesn't typify modern Democrats... but at the same time, it's really amusing how quickly authoritarian some leftists will get while protesting authoritarianism.
