They think that wearing bizarre clothing somehow makes you "creative." How about actually learning how to make art or music? Probably too much to ask for their feeble minds.
There's an odd phenomena that can manifest itself in mobs. When groups of like-minded people gather they allow some portion of their individuality to be subsumed and they take on a localized, collective, unconscious.
This new leftist movement can trace its ideological roots back to the late 20th century when post-structuralism and Marxism fused into a political ideology in certain academic circles. I won't go into detail here because I assume many people here are already very familiar with it.
Now, I guarantee you that (almost) none of the lunatics out rioting on the streets has really read Foucault, Derrida, or even Marx but they've all been touched by the modern political incarnation of their ideas. Each person in the mob brings a little piece of the ideology and each person sacrifices a little bit of their own free will to the will of the mob.
In the end, you have the full devil in the room. The metaphysical has entered the world and it has a will. You can see the utter derangement of these people at key moments. I think back to an incident a few days ago where a man in a dress was dancing and screaming atop a burning table while banging a bucket-drum. The act was so debased and his expression so deranged yet he seemed unaware of how bizarre his actions were and the crowd around him just danced along to his fever pitch.
My roommate is from the area, and he said Portlanders have always been known for being low IQ, drug addicted, white trash.

You're exactly right.
Yup. Fucking crazy people. Starting to think it's take it back now or lose it.
