As Twitchy reported, it took about one day for the separatists holed up in Seattle’s “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ, to send out a call for food donations after the homeless had reportedly taken all there was. They’ve since started a garden of sorts so they really can be autonomous and not rely on the United States for vegan meat-substitutes and soy-based products.
Now there’s a Twitter account claiming to be the official voice of CHAZ (preferred pronouns: they/them) and they’re asking that any clothing donations not come from major labels, and if you can keep the colors drab, that would be a plus.
Please avoid clothing donations from major labels. Drab/brown clothing preferred. Please remove logos from anything waterproof #CapitalHillAutonomousZone #chaz #chazseattle #chazcomms #seattlechaz

It doesn’t look like it, or it’s very well done. Either way, the replies are gold.
Let’s set up a clothing exchange after the march. Comrades will need regular dry clothing with this weather #seattlechaz #chazseattle #chaz #chazcomms #seattleprotest #SeattleCommune

Make your own clothes.
That's what autonomous people do.#losers— Ge?rge Wept (@GeorgeWept) June 13, 2020
Come ON people!
Mail some supplies to CHAZ!— D.C. = Clown Porn (@CaduceusLucrum) June 13, 2020
“Mail?” To where? The USPS only delivers to US addresses

Autonomous by Miriam Webster:
: existing or capable of existing independentlyWhat a joke.

I said the same thing yesterday. They obviously don't know the meaning of the word because they're using porta-potties, water & electric supplied by the city, they called Seattle FD for a dumpster fire & they want donations from the outside & people buy food from outside.
— SkipTheBullsh*t (@MaryLyn00719971) June 13, 2020
It’s true: They had to let the city’s fire department in to put out a literal dumpster fire inside their autonomous zone.
Looks like you've discovered the limits of autonomy rather quickly.

I've lost track of which chaz pages are parody and which ones are real.

So far #CHAZ makes North Korea seem like a fairly prosperous utopia.

Bit much to make demands given people are donating their clothes!

If we’re going to play the part then we have to act the part #chaz
— Official Seattle CHAZ (@CHAZSeattle1) June 12, 2020
Sew your own. You can remove labels all day long, but they are still manufactured by cheap overseas labor by large corporations. If you want to act the part, do the part.

“Death to Capitalism and to big corporations” P.S. “remove all logos from items so we’re not viewed as hypocrites” As of this time in history nothing, absolutely nothing will ever surprise me again.

Will they accept clothes from neighboring America if they’re not union-made?
