    Actually, no. I think shame and media coverage - on top of a respect for the process - has been the primary instrument of enforcement.

    The media is by and large on the side of chaz. As is, apparently, the local government.

    That means then only one man can save us from all that chaz:

    I have seen very, very little on CHAZ outside of the right-wing screech media trumpeting the "Heavily armed ANTIFA terrorists occupying the streets!" meme. You're acting like there's some great "mainstream" support for what's going on, and I'm not sure the "mainstream" has much of a stand on it. Unless you're looking for "naughty naughty, more spacing please," but I'm done playing COVID nanny.

    My estimate is that 1 in 1000 Americans outside of metro Seattle know what the fuck CHAZ is, and of those that know, 1 in 1000 give a shit.

    They don’t know because a majority of the media cannot spin it into something virtuous, especially when haircuts in Georgia were human sacrifices.

    I dunno; according to Google Trends, the Seattle CHAZ is the 14th most-searched phrase.

    Ooops, it's actually the 14th most searched CHAZ...there are 13 other CHAZ that are more frequently searched. Methinks this attempt by the right wing wackos to gin up a new shiny object is failing worse than the Hunter Biden fiasco.

    I have a college friend who lives in Seattle maybe five miles from CHAZ. He's social distancing, and says he and everybody else he knows just watch it on TV.

    So, what would you like to see happen?

    (I'm asking about Seattle and CHAZ, not about the Blue Check Twitter Cool Media Mafia that is supporting the movement by not talking about the movement.)

    Or because it’s in Seattle instead of DC or NYC. But #narrative.

    The Ozarks and and Georgia are what exactly? As I recall, there were a couple pages on this thread about a busy Olive Garden outside Pittsburgh.

    That is a very good point.
