Anarchist group promotes vandalism, anti-police sentiment at Pitt

A new student group at the University of Pittsburgh (UPitt) is promoting vandalism and anti-police sentiment.

UPitt Anarchy–a group that appears from posts on its website to have formed in the fall 2022 semester–describes itself as “involved in the proliferation of anarchist idea and action.”

Though UPitt Anarchy is not an official student organization, according to the university’s website, the group announces that it is open to students and non-students alike. “We aim to introduce individuals to the wider radical scene in Pittsburgh so that they may start acting autonomously towards their own destructive and creative desires,” the description of UPitt Anarchy continues.

UPitt Anarchy’s promotion of vandalism includes a post admitting to vandalizing rentable scooters on campus.

“There are months during which on every street corner along Liberty Avenue lie dozens of Spin Scooters, toppled over with their QR codes covered by ink, waiting to be cleaned,” the post reads. “The heads of scooters peek out of dumpsters, and their beautifully mangled corpses dot the bottoms of high drops.”

The justification provided by the group is that the scooters’ app-based payment system, unlike a public transit system that accepts cash, is a means of surveillance.

In Feb. 2023, UPitt Anarchy also shared a flyer on its Instagram page with the headline “BORN TO DIE.”

While the purpose of the flyer is unclear, it declares that “PITT IS A F**K,” with a subheading that reads, “DEAD PITT COPS.”
