They turned a university into a kindergarten. I’d love a ‘where are we now’ update on those screeching ninnies. I bed half are in the Democrat govt. in jobs they pretend to be able to do.
Unbelievable. When they started making the professors beg to be allowed on their "canoe" I legitimately thought this must be a parody, because that simply cannot be true. If this doesn't prove to you that this movement is a cult, then nothing will.
And that those adults even went along with it! I have had some crappy jobs in my life, but I took no such bullS**T. I mean, its denigrating to say the least! And no evidence to provide that they have a racism problem, its all too frightening and I really wish someone would uncover the source of this lunacy.
@@byrons1339 I think you'd love Jonathan Haidt's lecture on this topic, where he addresses your very concern (the "telos" or purpose of universities). This issue is so fundamental to Haidt that it is the very first topic he addresses, at about 6:48 in the video, but anyway the whole lecture is wonderfully structured and very well substantiated with hard evidence. One of the very few people openly talking sense. th-cam.com/video/Gatn5ameRr8/w-d-xo.html
I grew up in the communist China during the cultural revolution. This triggers a flood of surreal memories. All you have to do is substitute “racism” with “anti communism” and the rest are pretty much eerily and sadly similar.
I grew up in 80s in communist Czechoslovakia. It reminds me the "baptism" into The Sparks (SZM was youth wing of Communist Party and The Sparks was basically pre-highschool version of it). Same shit, different words. I detested it then, I detest it now.
I didn't grow up in a communist country but I remember reading in the 80s about these militant rebel groups in Latin America following the Maoist model of a kind of self-immolation -- meetings where people tried to one-up each other in how terrible a communist they were, how flawed a person, etc. The first few minutes immediately reminded me of this, and then it just kept getting worse. This is freaky, freaky shit.
I grew up in communist Yugoslavia. We had similar rituals, but 99% of the people would laugh it of afterwards. However, Yugoslavia was milder case compared to China, Czechoslovakia or USSR. So I acknowledge that LIVED EXPERIENCES of previous commentators are of higher order than mine 😂 P. S. I finally found a context to insert this expression 😁
dcpotomac20850 .... I was wondering how far you would guess this rhetoric at Evergreen is from rounding up people for the gulags. Is it still a big jump? I’m most worried about that. When will these leftists decide to force people to comply with their ideology or send them to prison or kill them?
jamada d .... Very terrifying. I wonder if the main thing that would unleash them is if they get control of the government and the laws. Maybe that is the only thing stopping them?
@@blankblankpog - sadly there is a race to the bottom at the moment in the guise of being the most just. The aphorism two wrongs don't make a right is lost on this current political movement. It is interesting they note that too left = too right.
I rewatch this about twice a year. When I get into conversations with people about the state of culture these days, I always tell them to watch this 3 part series. In my mind it's the best real world example to show folks how we got here.
I keep rewatching this also. The first time I saw it my mind was completely blown. Then I started to see this thinking here and there. Now it has become fairly common and these kids are actually in political positions. Seems like evergreen was the practice ground. I think there is finally some push back and hopefully it will die off.
I wish it were true that the momentum is going to reverse but I don't believe it is, sadly. I hear this narrative everywhere. Most don't even know what they are saying, just parroting. It's horrifying. The last truly free country has been stolen and in some ways I think we deserve it because we did nothing to stop the take-over of our schools and universities.
@@jackstickler1705This is where you're wrong. Gentrified neighborhoods and idiotic activist spaces and NGOs were the training ground. That's how this stuff made it onto campuses and into the corporate world.
@@notavailable4596 never heard of a gentrified neighborhood having that effect. I think when the kids got away with doing this crap it got worse. Should have been dealt with immediately. Have you watched the evergreen documentary?
@@jackstickler1705 Both of them. This stuff comes directly from gentrified neighborhoods and activist circles. Word for word. Do you really think it's a coincidence this happened in Washington state? Just like in the '60s where these radical ideas started in activist circles in the Bay Area and were laundered into colleges via activist teachers.
There is none at Evergreen. The cultists are in charge, know they are in charge, and burn at the stake anyone who steps even slightly out of line. These people create gulags for dissenters. The ideological gulags exist already, thanks to amenable corporations like Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The financial gulags have started to form already, thanks to corporations like Paypal and Mastercard. Coming soon is real life gulags, and these cultists want to put all dissenters in the camps. Harden your hearts, ladies and gentlemen, because these people will not be denied peaceably. It _will_ come to bloodshed.
I lived 25 years of my life in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania. Here're what we were taught in schools: 1. It's not a question whether or not you are a bourgeois, but how you manifest it. 2. All descendants of bourgeois families are bourgeois whether or not they know it. 3. The entire bourgeois political system is to benefit bourgeoisie and no one else. 4. If you do not condemn bourgeoisie you defend it. 5. If you are not a member of the working class, you are guilty of privilege and should repent. Repentance might not exonerate you, but would make you feel better. 6. You don't even know but the cultural pressure of bourgeoisie has made you think like a bourgeois (Antonio Gramsci here). I can follow a long list of such cult-like statements but you can infer from this mob just by substituting whiteness for bourgeoisie and color for proletariat. This is what makes Marxism neo-Marxism... Here, here, let me tell you something else. In periodic meetings led by (Communist) Party secretaries, people were asked to stand up and report about their bourgeois ideas in their heads and how they were combating them. That catharsis act was called autokritkë (self-bashing). People were spitting on themselves, were telling horrible things against themselves. I was a children and remember my father standing stoically in one of those Orwellian neighbourhood meetings and enduring insults from others because he refused to humiliate himself. He told them that they could say whatever they wanted against him but he had nothing to say against himself. Oh my old man! He was a piece of work. Here's how communist epistemology works. Once Beria told Stalin: you give me the man and I will find his crime. It could work as well: you give me the white man and I can tell you his racist acts...
@Kind Man Oh, when it will come to the white women, history tells us that it will be way worse. As an Albanian, we know what our women suffered under the Ottoman/Turkish yoke. There is a reason Turks are now way lightskinners and European looking than they were 500 years ago.
The second teacher getting on the “canoe” looks downright defeated and sounds like he’s going to cry as he begs for his job/being allowed to enter the metaphorical canoe, and begging for his life. That was sad to watch. Totally joyless
@@msabigailflurm1163 Exactly what I was thinking. Pail in the face as in front of the nazi firing squad, desperately trying to remember the correct lingo to not be shot in the head. -"Are you an enemy of the cause? Now, speak and we will decide your fate."
I was watching with my headphones in and didn't realize I was saying "Oh my God", and "unbelievable", and "that's horrendous" over and over. My roommates thought I was subjecting myself to some kind of gore or watching torture ritual. They were not far wrong. Just hearing and watching this unfold, with the knowledge of 20th Century History I do, was . . . painful.
"There is a sea of people engaged in a shared delusion and then there is a few people witnessing the delusion, isolated... that sense of being alone in a crowd." Madness. I know this experience. I saw this when I was at university and it was the reason I left.
Ha! To give her the benefit of the doubt, that could be applauding the audience before receiving their applause for her. On the other hand, while potentially modest, she is an actual racist (of the old-fashioned kind), which kind of offsets it. Shame.
I'm trying to find the DiAngelo connection to Evergreen. Could someone please explain? DiAngelo did not appear to be a speaker in the Canoe Meeting. That footage appeared to come from some other video.
@@lyndagruen2047 Go to 10:19; you'll see that she was invited to Evergreen as a guest speaker. She's the author of White Fragility, and basically tours around the US giving people speeches on how they have to basically admit that they're a racist, or they are a fragile white person. Her book is an insipid mess. And I feel bad for giving it credit by using a word as good as insipid to describe it. It feels like it was written by a disjointed 9 year old girl trying to explain her grasp on race relations. She has *got* to have a whole baggage cart of issues.
“Many of you,” he said, “had hoped I would come here to, bring you a message of hate against the white man . . . I come here with no such message. Black supremacy is just as bad as white supremacy. I come here with a message of love rather than hate. Don’t let any man make you stoop so low that you have hate. Have love in your hearts to those who would do you wrong.” - M.L.K. Jr. -
MLK had character; he had obviously done tremendous personal and spiritual work on himself, and in small scale, before presuming that he was fit to make large scale changes: because of this he had a level head, he cared about HUMANITY (not just his own demographic) and his actions and his activism were always logical, rooted in the facts of the situation, etc. That he was a good person was at the root of his success, and I would wager that is just too hard and too intellectually taxing for most of these so called "intellectuals": because of this their activism is always a personal journey for a salvation they feel has been denied them, which is the exactly the opposite of MLK. He had already been saved, before he tried to save the world.
@@hellomudda5396 Very, very well said. The same language games and tactics used at Evergreen State College are now winding their way through the major cities and main stream media across the nation. Unfortunately it seems as though no one in the spotlight has the courage to stand up and say that the emperor has no clothes. I am very concerned. Wish we had a MLK today.
@@reginapangestu What is most frightening is that with our protections of free speech, freedom of religion, freedom to peacefully assemble, equal treatment under law, etc. etc., we in America live in one of the freest countries in the world. Alot of other western nations already have hate speech legislation and tribunals that operate outside the usual court system to enforce things like hate speech laws. So if our country goes down the same path, blindly following the SJWS, and essentially ending free speech and ushering in a new era of censorship, where are we to go? I don't know of any other country where free speech is a core principle, enshrined in the constitution as it is in America. That might simply be ignorance on my part, but I know of several western countries with these so called "human rights tribunals" that are weapons being used to push ideologies of far left identity politics in the name of compassion, equity, and diversity. How it is that grownups come to the conclusion that the best way to heal racial division and inequality is to divide everyone into groups based on the color of their skin or what genitals they happen to possess is beyond my capacity to understand. But, that's where we are today. The problem is that so far, the SJWs have been far more effective than regular folks with half a brain in their head. So, the old adage that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease holds true as ever. The silent majority who can see this BS for what it is better get organized and start squeaking or we are in big trouble.
I had some reservations regarding Bret overreacting over the Evergreen events. In this video I see adults behaving like brainwashed cult members. Things were clearly worse than I thought.
I think you're right to hold reservations about Bret. I hope you continue to do so. I also think you are right to recognize that Evergreen has strayed pretty far from some important tenants of how education works. I urge folks to not lump all arguments that acknowledge systemic oppression into the same basket, some are much more clearly thought out than the ones portrayed in this video.
As a college student I agree-sick of this codependent culture and (thankfully) Evergreen is an extreme case that only slightly resembles my campus. But I’ve got some stories...
I freaked out when I heard that. This college administrators (predominantly women) are like women with cats. Empty nest syndrome. They are going to coddle these students indefinitely.
We are headed for a civil war in the United States. I've been watching Brett and Peterson talk about this for the past two and a half years. I was listening too. What's really scary is that people in the real world are making decisions about how to fix our current situation based just on the surface of something that goes much deeper than most can even phathom. Little decisions will have immense consequences. This is a very unstable situation we are in.
@@cameronrowe4485 SJWs everywhere who will do exactly the same if organized...when such are supported by govts, officals, deep state, as they are....they provide a basis like the Jewish Bolshevik Revolutionaries that led to a revolution which led to the genocide of 10s of millions of White people...
The sort of thinking happening at Evergreen is also happening throughout colleges across the US. You can find examples easily. Look at what happens when speakers who have opposite opinions arrive at campuses. They are harassed and every effort to stop them form speaking is made. The children these colleges teach are the future leaders of this country. That's down right scary. They make today's politicians look like geniuses. Which they are far from.
Although I knew this story from Bret and Heather's perspective before, I've never seen it laid out quite like this. The soviet style struggle sessions and making the admins step out of the "canoe" and prostrate themselves to the ideology was surreal to watch. Powerful warning.
@austin M extremes on the left and right are fucked up never forget this. Right now its the crazy left but eventually it will swing to the otherside and the crazy right wiill be back both must be resisted strongly.
I have been left-leaning my entire life, and like most people on their respective side, I like to watch the extremists on the other side, get a laugh at their expense and think how much better my side is than the other but this, literally every student and every faculty member that supported this madness, made me sick to my stomach and it was really eye-opening to see just how disgusting and crazy my side can be. Seeing the lunatics on my side acting this way, I believe this is the greatest way to turn someone from the left to the center or right, or even better, to bring the more reasonable members of the right and left together. By casting a light on this behavior, showing it to the general public, is the best way to sterilize it and to stop it from spreading.
@@lyq232 Yes I agree. I have been trying to communicate with my friends in the States. I studies in the States for my BFA and MFA, and have return almost every year since. Last year when I return and spend a month in a college attending a festival, there is something just felt so different and I didn't realise that pc has manifested so much, and now I can understand my discomfort about it. So now, I have been trying to communicate many of my friends and it has been a challenge. But will continue to do so. Hope you all take care not just physically but mentally while resisting the tension of such polarised political views to bring about a more balance humanity in the country. Take care.
@Ken MacDonald "Mr. MacDonald, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." You are the kind of person that I probably would have laughed at for being an extremist of the other side, furthermore, your failure to look at the other side (more than half of the country) and see nothing of value is precisely what is tearing this country apart. The fact that you come to a positive comment and try to find negativity in it speaks loudly as to what kind of person you are and your character. I have done none of the things you accuse me of, never been anti-West, never "whined about tolerance", and I've never called White people evil. I've never laughed or mocked Christianity, in fact, I committed 2 years of my life to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in a foreign land. I am not a Social Justice Warrior and have never supported that movement and consider it to be one of the most pervasive threats to free speech and the 1st Amendment, so when you attribute the worst of one side to a person you've never met, known or talked to in person, again, it speaks loudly about the kind of person you are and your character. I'm sorry that you are so filled with negativity and hate, although I am glad you have a platform to release it, even though I am the unfortunate target. To keep those emotions that you are so clearly displaying in a public forum bottled up, would only make it worse for the person on the other end when you eventually snap.
Is this a sequel to the movie PCU? The guy with the drum was a nice touch. This is what’s known as a circular firing squad. Like a group of cannibals, shipwrecked on a deserted island. Who eats first? What happens when we let the lunatics run the asylum. Sad days have befallen us, and we’ve only begun our voyage. Just n
Anyone else who feels physical discomfort everytime a clip of what happened on campus is shown? For me, it's a melange of anger, fear, disgust and pity. BTW: The makers of this documentary did an excellent job!
Netflix is the network that canned a CEO because he used the dreaded n-word during an internal meeting, even though he said it in full context of it being a word that causes harm and must be avoided. But because he said it in its full glory and not the watered down "n-word" - he gone. The pretzel logic fully eating its own ass at that point
Cringiest moments ever would be an understatement, I cant bare to watch either, I take it in small doses, pause, come back later, this shit can traumatize you, and for good reason.
12:12 "...but when you're here you are required by your job to create an atmosphere in which all children can learn." CHILDREN DO NOT GO TO COLLEGE. This is pure and literal infantilization.
@Joshua How can you possibly separate that in your mind. It is the people running (allowing) it that creates and sustains it. Please think about what you say.
Classic political formula: 1. Invent a problem; 2. Be the person/org to have the solution to the problem; 3. Capture the language surrounding the "problem;" 4. Remove opposition by silencing debate through the stigmatization of dissenters, attaching significant economic risks/penalties to dissent, and requiring ‘moral’ people to prove/signal their ‘goodness’ by being active allies in the fight against the inverted problem; 5. Collect the political and economic rewards.
I am not a fan of horror movies, I have a hard time with the tension and nervousness that comes with it. If I am forced to watch a movie with friends, I will often take breaks to calm my anxiety. I took three breaks while watching this video to calm my anxiety. It didn't really help. This is really scary to me.
The entirety of the 2010s' social justice movements, critical theory, critical race theory, feminist theory, Marxist theory, etc. ALL OF THEM, are just an extremely loquacious and pretentious way of saying "NOTHING IS EVER MY FAULT!!! OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS THE PROBLEM!!! I WANT EVERYTHING TO CHANGE TO SUIT ME!!!!!" It should thus come as no surprise that the people who are drawn to these conflict theories are the exact same people that Bill Eddy calls "high-conflict people," meaning that they think that everything that they dislike is a transgression against them personally, and that something, anything but themselves is always to blame.
funny you say that, I grew up in religious cults, and that is exactly the feeling I got. everyone is so anxious to "share" their "revelation" about whiteness.. just creepy...… Jonestown style, but ending in the coerced suicide of an institution.

Benjamin Boyce was an Evergreen student who covered every aspect of this in great depth. Check out his channel. Incredible stuff. Much more frightening stuff really. Shows how much of a cult this place was.
I third this recommendation. I started following his channel because the Evergreen train wreck was so fascinating, and I like the direction he's been going in with his interviews.
It feels like mental and psychological abuse for someone to metaphorically or even physically beat the notion into another that you’re inherently bad because you look a certain way - mind boggling.
And it’s literally taught by the schools through CRT and when people like Ron Di Santis take steps to fix education they are called anti black by CNN and MSNBC it seems people are trying to destroy western civilisation
Years ago during Vietnam there were protests taking place on the campus grounds of Notre Dame. The Dean of Notre Dame was a Rev. Charles Sheedy. He went out to the protesters and informed them that they had 10 minutes to get to the classes they were supposed to be in or they would be expelled the next day, and they could answer to their parents as to why they were expelled. And he stated he would be checking the attendance rolls for the rest of the day. In less than five minutes the protest was over. We need more Deans that don't let the children run things. If they don't like it they can go to another school.
The problem is that most colleges have simply become businesses, and their measure of success is purely financial. So their goal is to attract and maintain as many paying students a possible. Their customers are the students, and so they cater to them to keep them enrolled and paying. Kicking them out has therefore become counter-productive.
@@wm-xe2ckNo, they are centers for indoctrination and view students as their tools. They don't care about education except when "education" supports their tyrannical views.
I give you this quote, from my favorite modern intellectual: "The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department. " -Thomas Sowell
I went to Evergreen in the last ten years, attended for two weeks, and quickly dissolved into fear, confusion, and insomnia. I am highly sensitive, however: instability is the means in which the populace is distracted; an opium or vodka. This is a microcosm of the broad-scale public distraction taking place. We have no energy to fight for ourselves, because we're busy running from our neighbors, and running towards the infinite simulated comfort space. Beware of those operating within a heavily power-driven ethos with disregard for those unlike them.
This is a perfect example of what I experienced in communist China when I lived there during the Cultural Revolution; you could accuse someone, and they were labeled as guilty!!!
Martin McNamara I’ll never forget the first time someone told me I was a racist and had white privilege. All of my life, up until that moment, I’d felt I had the ability to discuss, debate and examine. Particularly important when it comes to someone telling you something about yourself and that someone having zero knowledge of you or your life experiences up until that moment- but that was the thing- I was told it isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact and that I just haven’t the ability to see it and acknowledge it. It was mind boggling. That my very existence was only valuable if I could first acknowledge that I was born wrong. This was based exclusively on my race. I recall immediately thinking, so this is what it’s like to be judged on skin color alone. *This IS racism*
12:13 "...you are required by your job to create an atmosphere in which all children can learn." They actually consider college students to be children. That explains a LOT.
I studied neurosych and yes, they are childreb. Or, I should say, their brains are not fully developed. Aside from which, some of them may have been legally children. Anyway, to your point, people mature at different rates. There are 16 year olds who work, go to school, cook. There are married 16 year olds. There are 16;year olds going to school and raising a child. There are also 16 year olds who get tucked into bed. People mature at different rates. The problem here is that they are acting like children but want to be respected like adults. More importantly, they are speaking to staff,, to elders as equals. At the same time they are acting like kids
This is mind blowing. Thanks for doing this video. The amount of racism coming from those folks preaching that they are fighting racism is astonishing.
I believe the one starting at 4:23 - she's not a girl, probably a teacher or a diversity-officer: in the latter case, her wage and power are both huge. Regardless, she's actually chilling: like a true Stalinist, she proceeds to proclaim dogmas (racism exists, it is systemic, you cannot see it but it's behind everything, white are guilty even if nobody can point to any act of discrimination, and so on) and to assign roles and rules. It's a Marxist class system, where the oppressed ones (as defined by the theory) deserve to take power in their hands by any means: Paradise will eventually ensue, in unspecified ways. Amazing that this crap is still alluring to educated people after a century of Communist tragedies. I'd like to know how many courses about Communism history are taught there; on the other hand, if they are present, I guess their failures are ascribed to "Capitalism".
That's the author of "White Fragility ". She masquerades as an intellectual while spewing meaningless and baseless platitudes. All word salad that comes from her mouth.

I don't know why but I have been fascinated by the Evergreen saga since it began, seeing Brett surrounded by mindless drones all spewing their hateful indoctrination . It is like watching movie about dystopian future.

I am assuming you know of Benjamin Boyce you should ask him to give you a shout out and to ask people to subscribe here I am sure he will be willing and able to help and he has a lot of inside dirt on all this shambles.

Truly scare, truly cultish. The last time a race was forced to admit to collective de facto guilt because of historical crime and privilege, my family ended up in concentration camps.
I have watched reporting from the "N-th Congresses of the [eastern block country] Communist Party". 100% match. Lived through having to plan own promises to [whatever The Party's plan for me is]. Having experienced that as a set framework for living, I know now people who haven't been there most probably will voluntarily go into that to do their learning to eventually fight to go out of that and only then get immune to never go BACK into that any more.
15 minutes and evergreen reminds me of Tarkenton college from the Kurt Vonnegut novel Hocus Pocus. The character starts as a teacher at the school and ends up an inmate when it becomes a penitentiary. Great book.
I followed the Evergreen story when it first broke, and I had no idea of the extensive backstory. This is so disturbing, and I’m a political centrist. I’m really looking forward to part two.
😳_😬 Clinician here. The POW Syndrome effect is REAL! I went to Evergreen in the eighties. Stuff like this was fringe back then. I knew it had gotten bad- but I had no idea it was to this extent. This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! 🤯_😒
Cult? A Multi-layered Marketing Scheme? I cannot believe no one said anything in those meetings? They were ridiculous. We cannot learn from history through revenge and shame. You learn from history through empathy and understanding. Evergreen freaked me out. Just creepy zombie-like vibe. Does everyone have to take a xanex before attending class so there is 0% anxiety on campus...LOL
This is not even about revenge and shame. A lot of these peple didn't experience anything outrageous in their entire life, let alone something so outdated in Western Society as slavery. They are just outright idiots to me, and when idiots get power, shit happens.
No one said anything because they will be branded all kinds of nasty terms and ousted like lepers. In their insane world nobody can ever disagree with them without being horrible persons with horrible motives. This legitimize all kinds of behavior in their heads since anyone speaking out against them deserves whatever they get the way they see it.
They fame it as anti-racism, so if You protest, they frame Your protest as racist. People who wrote Critical Theory were brilliant propagandists, all Neo-Marxist ideology inherent talking points from Critical Theory.
I can’t believe it started showing up on my feed these past few days. It’s almost as if the algorithm was working as you would think it should- actually giving you content that’s relevant to current events & aligns with my watching interests...hmm
After hearing about the hypocrisy of the CHAZ/CHOP efforts(another shooting/2 killed today). I legit googled Bret to re-watch this story. It feels like I'm taking crazy pills.
Agreed. I've been sharing it everywhere I can. THIS documentary, in my opinion, is the best tool we have to show the world where this ideology goes. It's fascinating and horrific - please share. We still have a chance but we must educate people now.
You kind of wish it would have burnt itself out, like when a localized tribe or clan all die off from a new viral mutation from a bat or other delicious organism 🦇🦎.

The monster these students and faculty thought was on their campus was/is something that only they could see.
Jesus. This was an unbelievably powerful watch. As a teacher, postgraduate student and theatre practitioner in the UK, I can safely say this is starting to be mirrored in full force over here, too, and it honestly terrifies me. Bret’s comment about being alone in a crowd is something I truly understand, and I fear that crowd is going to become much larger, more vocal and will further engulf the fundamental pillar of society that is access to a high standard of education. Thank you for this, it's comforting to see I am not completely alone.
So the middle aged white hippy college teachers tell the kids the world is yours, go forth and change the world. The kids put one foot outside, see the shit show , turn around and say “ what the fuck did you do?”, “ what the fuck DIDNT you do”. The sight of Burt telling the kids about dialectics when they’re incandescent and inarticulate with rage. Burts a dick , he took the reproach personally and refused to rethink. Now he s out there whining to the right how unfair it is when all he did was sit on his tenured ass for 20 years.

It's a common strategy that the evil leftists use, using God in vain, they try to invoke God into these matters, most of these people don't know a thing about God.
Yeah that was certainly not a well made comment, at least put of context. I do think that as a country we have a misconception of how rights are achieved. MLK tends to be the go-to figure template for how an oppressed group gains rights, which is sensible. We should also note that the first major advancement in human rights for black people in this country came from the Civil War.
@@gabemurrey1595 Don't diminish the significance of Shay's Rebellion, the war of 1812, and John Brown. The Civil War did not arise out of thin air. The struggle for abolition was long. It has roots clear back to the colonial era.
@@brettbuddy3230 it's creepy because we've seen this type of ideological structure emerge in history before. these structures have a tendency to end up in societal destruction and mass genocide. and it's resurfacing again. its ability to purge all forms of criticism against it, just like in the past, is creepy. we in western society better begin developing a spidey sense against authoritarian left like we already have against authoritarian right.
I love the idea of the Canoe as a metaphor for navigating the headwinds, waves, and rocky shores of the ocean with scores of diverse individuals on board. Since Canoes are small vessels designed and built for only a few people on inland waterways on calm waters it would fail as miserably as this diversity council is destined to fail. I can imagine the in-fighting between narrower and narrower intersectional groups as every one of the "woke" members pretends to be offended and inclusive and victimized simultaneously.
Everything here has a distinct cultish feel to it. From the monotone “I believe” speeches and then the infinitely convoluted speeches by “whiteness scholars” and other self proclaimed academics. Then most frighteningly the controlling and authoritarian characteristics of the individuals in charge of the changes.
I knew Jamil Bolling (one of the perpetrators, the one telling faculty they can’t go to the restroom alone, riding around on bike with a bat), and I’m wondering how racist he thought I was when he invited me to his grandmas house. At some point he was radicalized even more than your average gay high school student in the 2010s, I wish I knew where when and how that happened.
This is a real life horror movie, with the final scene like the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). When Brett described his colleagues as sleepwalking I thought Donald Sutherland might pop up and point at someone.
I agree. But group dynamics and social pressure can be a weird thing. Basically a lot of people just run with the pack, which puts logic and reason on the sidelines. Super, super scary.
You should check out The Line experiment (I think this is what it is called?); the participants were told they needed to point to the longest of the lines on a piece of paper as they go around the circle. A few were hired actors who were told to either purposefully choose the incorrect choice or vice versa. The results were pretty mind blowing
Whenever I see people recite Creed's, I leave as quickly as possible. Growing up in a cult allows me the ability to spot dogmatic, cultist behavior. Evergreen turned into a cult overnight. Sad
I'm quite familiar with the Evergreen saga...thing that stands out for me is that I never heard from the complaining students.teachers...whoever..what the nature of their grievance(s) were. Never once did I hear with any specificity what exactly the grievances were about
@@nosaaoo7717 First, define they as in where it's used in the video so I have more context. They the teachers who wrote the papers, or they the SJW crowd? If you mean they SJW, then it means revenge and that they should now have the power(Over whites, ally or not). What it actually means though is just, even.
@@nosaaoo7717 Equity means 'equal outcome'. If you want equity in a running race between a rabbit and a turtle, you'd need to either weigh the rabbit down with weights, or you'd need to attach rocket boosters to the turtle to expect them to finish the race at the same time.
***Not 'did racism take place?' but 'HOW did racism MANIFEST from [that] situation?'*** This is a serious problem. This school is probably not the ONLY one where this is happening. Bet every school doesn't have a Bret Weinstein. Not being hyperbolic at all, this is some truly scary shit. Also, shout out to based pixelated girl. Good call.
Man, I knew about this whole thing, but this level of depth and insight into the whole thing is truly mind boggling (in a very concerning way). Really great work gathering all these clips and presenting them around the solid interviews with Brett and Heather. Bravo. Sadly the context (evergreens atmosphere, specific confrontations) makes it more shocking. Can’t believe I never heard of the obvious power play situation holding George and telling him matter-of-fact “hold it” - it’s as if these people want revenge. And these capitulating mfs like him embolden them, the dude is so afraid of not being progressive enough. This is not a good trend. I never thought I’d say it but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a race war in this country before the century is over. Really depressing.
Except now this country is being overtaken by those who would have you submit to White Fragility. Robin DiAngelo was just on Jimmy Fallon. Share this video. People need to know how it starts, and where it ends.
Wish someone had told me about white privilege when I was growing up in a rural tar paper house without running water or electricity. Didn't know how good I had it.
I agree. My mother just hit fifty and bathed in a metal tub in the back yard twice a week until she was 13. Her father was orphaned do to his father dieing at the "Battle of the Buldge" fighting Nazis in WW2. My grandfather battled alcoholism while working as a carpenter. He managed to get clean and build a wonderful 3,000 foot square home over a period of ten years with him and his brother doing most of the building. They lived in a house very similar to the one you described until it burnt to the ground 4 years before he completed the new house. They lived in tents for a few weeks before getting a portion of the house livable. This idea of white priveldge is disgusting to me and my family. The privledge I know have was earned through the heat and the sweat of my grandfather and his family to provide for his children. I'll be damned if they take his work away with just a few words.
Suttree if you’re white, the chances of you getting pulled over, harrassed or incarcerated as a result is much much smaller that that of a POC. That’s white privilege. Getting treated differently because you’re white. No one is trying to take anything from you.
It's just hitting me that this is Stanford's Prison Experiment! anybody else finds it too similar? when you see those people talking and making a sassy point look at their expectation of applause... it's not an expectation of rebuttal but applause!... those are guards having a meeting reveling in their power. No animal shall sleep in a bed (with sheets) much?
I mean, to be perfectly honest, this is an edited video with a clear goal. I don’t think we can really say that there were no cases of racism in Evergreen based solely in what we see here.
I am speechless. What I witnessed in this video is sickening. I have much difficulty trying to imagine how any of this became possible. This type of thing needs to be resolved. This cannot be allowed to continue. Exposure is first priority. Thanks for the video and thanks to all who are working on solutions.
@@MeanBeanComedy how? I mean hell.. There is NO rationality. You cant debate with crazy. Wtf smh. I've been at a loss for the longest time. Even my house is divided.
This documentary is, in my opinion, the best succinct example of how this all goes wrong. It feels like it could be at the university down the street. Share this documentary with friends. We have a chance NOT to go down the path of the totalitarians. It WILL destroy civilization.
We are being pummelled by 'race, race, race,' at a time when we have already made great strides in a much more equitable direction. I certainly don't think this is faring well for our society. The agenda seems to be a destructive one, rather than a constructive one.
I love how the Evergreen academics all blame George Bridges instead of their own far-Left politics. George Bridges was just the catalyst that accelerated the inevitable.
I clearly remember reading Harrison Burgeron in 7th grade (2001). Basically, nobody in the class understood it because it was so "bizarre"; takes place in a different society, the main character is in chains and locks, the news is all weird... stuff that the average 7th grader wouldn't really draw parallels to the society they live in. I recall Mr. Thomas explaining to us how misleading the idea that "everyone is equal" truly is. I'll never forget it.
this is exactly the reason, i cringe every time i hear someone say "we need an honest conversation about race." Except that it won't be a conversation, it will be a lecture.
they shouldve sought to outdo the SJW crowd by proposing eliminating all departments and having a single department, and two majors- a bachelor's in applied social justice, with a minor in whiteness studies.
Its not even a lecture. It's so much worse than that. It's an inquisition. You're placed in front a counsel and you must repent for your crimes whether you think you did them or not. You must renounce your very being or you die.

They turned a university into a kindergarten.
I’d love a ‘where are we now’ update on those screeching ninnies.
I bed half are in the Democrat govt. in jobs they pretend to be able to do.
Unbelievable. When they started making the professors beg to be allowed on their "canoe" I legitimately thought this must be a parody, because that simply cannot be true. If this doesn't prove to you that this movement is a cult, then nothing will.
And that those adults even went along with it! I have had some crappy jobs in my life, but I took no such bullS**T. I mean, its denigrating to say the least! And no evidence to provide that they have a racism problem, its all too frightening and I really wish someone would uncover the source of this lunacy.
They acted as if they were in a religious cult. And this is supposed to be a place were kids developp free thinking?
After listening to this nonsense I almost forgot something very relevant, what is the purpose of having a University?
@jamada d That's horrible.
@@byrons1339 I think you'd love Jonathan Haidt's lecture on this topic, where he addresses your very concern (the "telos" or purpose of universities).

I grew up in the communist China during the cultural revolution. This triggers a flood of surreal memories. All you have to do is substitute “racism” with “anti communism” and the rest are pretty much eerily and sadly similar.
I grew up in 80s in communist Czechoslovakia. It reminds me the "baptism" into The Sparks (SZM was youth wing of Communist Party and The Sparks was basically pre-highschool version of it). Same shit, different words. I detested it then, I detest it now.
I didn't grow up in a communist country but I remember reading in the 80s about these militant rebel groups in Latin America following the Maoist model of a kind of self-immolation -- meetings where people tried to one-up each other in how terrible a communist they were, how flawed a person, etc. The first few minutes immediately reminded me of this, and then it just kept getting worse. This is freaky, freaky shit.
I grew up in communist Yugoslavia. We had similar rituals, but 99% of the people would laugh it of afterwards. However, Yugoslavia was milder case compared to China, Czechoslovakia or USSR. So I acknowledge that LIVED EXPERIENCES of previous commentators are of higher order than mine 😂
P. S. I finally found a context to insert this expression 😁
dcpotomac20850 .... I was wondering how far you would guess this rhetoric at Evergreen is from rounding up people for the gulags. Is it still a big jump? I’m most worried about that. When will these leftists decide to force people to comply with their ideology or send them to prison or kill them?
jamada d .... Very terrifying. I wonder if the main thing that would unleash them is if they get control of the government and the laws. Maybe that is the only thing stopping them?
Ironically, Evergreen college is now the most racist college in the US, if not the world.

@@blankblankpog - sadly there is a race to the bottom at the moment in the guise of being the most just. The aphorism two wrongs don't make a right is lost on this current political movement.
It is interesting they note that too left = too right.
I rewatch this about twice a year. When I get into conversations with people about the state of culture these days, I always tell them to watch this 3 part series. In my mind it's the best real world example to show folks how we got here.
I keep rewatching this also. The first time I saw it my mind was completely blown. Then I started to see this thinking here and there. Now it has become fairly common and these kids are actually in political positions. Seems like evergreen was the practice ground. I think there is finally some push back and hopefully it will die off.
I wish it were true that the momentum is going to reverse but I don't believe it is, sadly. I hear this narrative everywhere. Most don't even know what they are saying, just parroting. It's horrifying. The last truly free country has been stolen and in some ways I think we deserve it because we did nothing to stop the take-over of our schools and universities.
@@jackstickler1705This is where you're wrong.
Gentrified neighborhoods and idiotic activist spaces and NGOs were the training ground.
That's how this stuff made it onto campuses and into the corporate world.
@@notavailable4596 never heard of a gentrified neighborhood having that effect. I think when the kids got away with doing this crap it got worse. Should have been dealt with immediately. Have you watched the evergreen documentary?
@@jackstickler1705 Both of them.
This stuff comes directly from gentrified neighborhoods and activist circles. Word for word. Do you really think it's a coincidence this happened in Washington state?
Just like in the '60s where these radical ideas started in activist circles in the Bay Area and were laundered into colleges via activist teachers.
They talk about diversity. Where is the diversity of thought?
There is none at Evergreen. The cultists are in charge, know they are in charge, and burn at the stake anyone who steps even slightly out of line.
These people create gulags for dissenters. The ideological gulags exist already, thanks to amenable corporations like Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The financial gulags have started to form already, thanks to corporations like Paypal and Mastercard. Coming soon is real life gulags, and these cultists want to put all dissenters in the camps.
Harden your hearts, ladies and gentlemen, because these people will not be denied peaceably.
It _will_ come to bloodshed.
thought is dangerous because it can challenge ideology
Heretic!
When they say diversity, they mean not white. When they say racist, they mean white
Careful you might have to be re-educated in room 101 for thought crime
I lived 25 years of my life in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania. Here're what we were taught in schools:
1. It's not a question whether or not you are a bourgeois, but how you manifest it.
2. All descendants of bourgeois families are bourgeois whether or not they know it.
3. The entire bourgeois political system is to benefit bourgeoisie and no one else.
4. If you do not condemn bourgeoisie you defend it.
5. If you are not a member of the working class, you are guilty of privilege and should repent. Repentance might not exonerate you, but would make you feel better.
6. You don't even know but the cultural pressure of bourgeoisie has made you think like a bourgeois (Antonio Gramsci here).
I can follow a long list of such cult-like statements but you can infer from this mob just by substituting whiteness for bourgeoisie and color for proletariat. This is what makes Marxism neo-Marxism...
Here, here, let me tell you something else. In periodic meetings led by (Communist) Party secretaries, people were asked to stand up and report about their bourgeois ideas in their heads and how they were combating them. That catharsis act was called autokritkë (self-bashing). People were spitting on themselves, were telling horrible things against themselves. I was a children and remember my father standing stoically in one of those Orwellian neighbourhood meetings and enduring insults from others because he refused to humiliate himself. He told them that they could say whatever they wanted against him but he had nothing to say against himself. Oh my old man! He was a piece of work.
Here's how communist epistemology works. Once Beria told Stalin: you give me the man and I will find his crime. It could work as well: you give me the white man and I can tell you his racist acts...
@@AmmoGus1 We had the same in the Socialist Republic of Romania. Socialism is a cult like political ideology.
Worst thing is, that system that Illyrian Wolf is talking about has left consequences even today (30 years later) here in Albania.
@@gurikasemit I'd like to learn more. What do you suggest I search?
@Kind Man Oh, when it will come to the white women, history tells us that it will be way worse. As an Albanian, we know what our women suffered under the Ottoman/Turkish yoke. There is a reason Turks are now way lightskinners and European looking than they were 500 years ago.
Illyrian Wolf You connected some important dots for me. Thank you very much for sharing your story.
Wow, the actually footage of these meetings were creepy af.

The second teacher getting on the “canoe” looks downright defeated and sounds like he’s going to cry as he begs for his job/being allowed to enter the metaphorical canoe, and begging for his life. That was sad to watch. Totally joyless
@@msabigailflurm1163 Exactly what I was thinking. Pail in the face as in front of the nazi firing squad, desperately trying to remember the correct lingo to not be shot in the head. -"Are you an enemy of the cause? Now, speak and we will decide your fate."
I was watching with my headphones in and didn't realize I was saying "Oh my God", and "unbelievable", and "that's horrendous" over and over. My roommates thought I was subjecting myself to some kind of gore or watching torture ritual.
They were not far wrong. Just hearing and watching this unfold, with the knowledge of 20th Century History I do, was . . . painful.
"There is a sea of people engaged in a shared delusion and then there is a few people witnessing the delusion, isolated... that sense of being alone in a crowd."

Dude... the fact that DiAngelo STARTED HER OWN APPLAUSE is like the most perfect analogue to her entire ethos
Ha! To give her the benefit of the doubt, that could be applauding the audience before receiving their applause for her. On the other hand, while potentially modest, she is an actual racist (of the old-fashioned kind), which kind of offsets it. Shame.
Watching this... I kinda feel like I know what's coming up in the next four years.
Especially what the "let's applaud for ourselves" thing looks like.
I'm trying to find the DiAngelo connection to Evergreen. Could someone please explain? DiAngelo did not appear to be a speaker in the Canoe Meeting. That footage appeared to come from some other video.
Good catch, I pictured the somewhat stunned audience, snapped out of their contemplation, as if from a nap, then obediently clapping.
@@lyndagruen2047
Go to 10:19; you'll see that she was invited to Evergreen as a guest speaker.
She's the author of White Fragility, and basically tours around the US giving people speeches on how they have to basically admit that they're a racist, or they are a fragile white person.
Her book is an insipid mess. And I feel bad for giving it credit by using a word as good as insipid to describe it. It feels like it was written by a disjointed 9 year old girl trying to explain her grasp on race relations. She has *got* to have a whole baggage cart of issues.
“Many of you,” he said, “had hoped I would come here to, bring you a message of hate against the white man . . . I come here with no such message. Black supremacy is just as bad as white supremacy. I come here with a message of love rather than hate. Don’t let any man make you stoop so low that you have hate. Have love in your hearts to those who would do you wrong.”

these people would lynch MLK and feel like heroes for it
MLK had character; he had obviously done tremendous personal and spiritual work on himself, and in small scale, before presuming that he was fit to make large scale changes: because of this he had a level head, he cared about HUMANITY (not just his own demographic) and his actions and his activism were always logical, rooted in the facts of the situation, etc. That he was a good person was at the root of his success, and I would wager that is just too hard and too intellectually taxing for most of these so called "intellectuals": because of this their activism is always a personal journey for a salvation they feel has been denied them, which is the exactly the opposite of MLK. He had already been saved, before he tried to save the world.
@@hellomudda5396 Very, very well said. The same language games and tactics used at Evergreen State College are now winding their way through the major cities and main stream media across the nation.

Dave Wade I am not even American or in the US, I am afraid. These things are absolute madness.
@@reginapangestu What is most frightening is that with our protections of free speech, freedom of religion, freedom to peacefully assemble, equal treatment under law, etc. etc., we in America live in one of the freest countries in the world. Alot of other western nations already have hate speech legislation and tribunals that operate outside the usual court system to enforce things like hate speech laws. So if our country goes down the same path, blindly following the SJWS, and essentially ending free speech and ushering in a new era of censorship, where are we to go? I don't know of any other country where free speech is a core principle, enshrined in the constitution as it is in America. That might simply be ignorance on my part, but I know of several western countries with these so called "human rights tribunals" that are weapons being used to push ideologies of far left identity politics in the name of compassion, equity, and diversity. How it is that grownups come to the conclusion that the best way to heal racial division and inequality is to divide everyone into groups based on the color of their skin or what genitals they happen to possess is beyond my capacity to understand. But, that's where we are today. The problem is that so far, the SJWs have been far more effective than regular folks with half a brain in their head. So, the old adage that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease holds true as ever. The silent majority who can see this BS for what it is better get organized and start squeaking or we are in big trouble.
I had some reservations regarding Bret overreacting over the Evergreen events. In this video I see adults behaving like brainwashed cult members. Things were clearly worse than I thought.
This video does not show the worse of it - however it does provide some insights how the worse happened, or will happen
I think you're right to hold reservations about Bret. I hope you continue to do so.
I also think you are right to recognize that Evergreen has strayed pretty far from some important tenants of how education works.
I urge folks to not lump all arguments that acknowledge systemic oppression into the same basket, some are much more clearly thought out than the ones portrayed in this video.

"An atmosphere where all children can learn"? I thought that college students were adults
Children emotionally. Coddled since birth.
As a college student I agree-sick of this codependent culture and (thankfully) Evergreen is an extreme case that only slightly resembles my campus. But I’ve got some stories...
I freaked out when I heard that. This college administrators (predominantly women) are like women with cats. Empty nest syndrome. They are going to coddle these students indefinitely.
I thought the same thing! Fucking Pampers University.
We are headed for a civil war in the United States. I've been watching Brett and Peterson talk about this for the past two and a half years. I was listening too. What's really scary is that people in the real world are making decisions about how to fix our current situation based just on the surface of something that goes much deeper than most can even phathom. Little decisions will have immense consequences. This is a very unstable situation we are in.
People ask how the Nazi's and communists could do what they did. This is a micro example of how. The scary thing is it doesn't take many.
Indeed, it does not. We are seeing it happen before our very eyes.
we will need to take up arms to fight them off....they are very aggressive and obsessive and compulsive and like the 'terminator'....will not stop...
Do you realize this is not the entire country or even a state?? We're one college campus. We have maybe 10,000 students. Maybe.
@@cameronrowe4485 SJWs everywhere who will do exactly the same if organized...when such are supported by govts, officals, deep state, as they are....they provide a basis like the Jewish Bolshevik Revolutionaries that led to a revolution which led to the genocide of 10s of millions of White people...
The sort of thinking happening at Evergreen is also happening throughout colleges across the US. You can find examples easily. Look at what happens when speakers who have opposite opinions arrive at campuses. They are harassed and every effort to stop them form speaking is made. The children these colleges teach are the future leaders of this country. That's down right scary. They make today's politicians look like geniuses. Which they are far from.
Although I knew this story from Bret and Heather's perspective before, I've never seen it laid out quite like this. The soviet style struggle sessions and making the admins step out of the "canoe" and prostrate themselves to the ideology was surreal to watch. Powerful warning.
You don't know what "Soviet" means.

@austin M extremes on the left and right are fucked up never forget this. Right now its the crazy left but eventually it will swing to the otherside and the crazy right wiill be back both must be resisted strongly.
Well the canoe is heading towards Niagara falls
I have been left-leaning my entire life, and like most people on their respective side, I like to watch the extremists on the other side, get a laugh at their expense and think how much better my side is than the other but this, literally every student and every faculty member that supported this madness, made me sick to my stomach and it was really eye-opening to see just how disgusting and crazy my side can be.
Seeing the lunatics on my side acting this way, I believe this is the greatest way to turn someone from the left to the center or right, or even better, to bring the more reasonable members of the right and left together. By casting a light on this behavior, showing it to the general public, is the best way to sterilize it and to stop it from spreading.

@Ken MacDonald "Mr. MacDonald, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
You are the kind of person that I probably would have laughed at for being an extremist of the other side, furthermore, your failure to look at the other side (more than half of the country) and see nothing of value is precisely what is tearing this country apart. The fact that you come to a positive comment and try to find negativity in it speaks loudly as to what kind of person you are and your character.
I have done none of the things you accuse me of, never been anti-West, never "whined about tolerance", and I've never called White people evil. I've never laughed or mocked Christianity, in fact, I committed 2 years of my life to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in a foreign land. I am not a Social Justice Warrior and have never supported that movement and consider it to be one of the most pervasive threats to free speech and the 1st Amendment, so when you attribute the worst of one side to a person you've never met, known or talked to in person, again, it speaks loudly about the kind of person you are and your character.
I'm sorry that you are so filled with negativity and hate, although I am glad you have a platform to release it, even though I am the unfortunate target. To keep those emotions that you are so clearly displaying in a public forum bottled up, would only make it worse for the person on the other end when you eventually snap.

Anyone else who feels physical discomfort everytime a clip of what happened on campus is shown? For me, it's a melange of anger, fear, disgust and pity. BTW: The makers of this documentary did an excellent job!

This should be on Netflix now more than ever, but that’s probably impossible because it suffers from the same indoctrination.
We still have a chance - share it where you can and help educate people as to where this goes.
Netflix is the network that canned a CEO because he used the dreaded n-word during an internal meeting, even though he said it in full context of it being a word that causes harm and must be avoided. But because he said it in its full glory and not the watered down "n-word" - he gone. The pretzel logic fully eating its own ass at that point
Lol...yes it does...
Also TH-cam is infected. Videos with opinions that divert too much from the mainstream political correctness are blocked because of "hate-speach".

Cringiest moments ever would be an understatement, I cant bare to watch either, I take it in small doses, pause, come back later, this shit can traumatize you, and for good reason.
Agree. Painful to watch.

There are traditional liberal arts colleges such as Hillsdale College in Michigan. Just avoid the far left institutions .
@Joshua How can you possibly separate that in your mind. It is the people running (allowing) it that creates and sustains it. Please think about what you say.
Classic political formula: 1. Invent a problem; 2. Be the person/org to have the solution to the problem; 3. Capture the language surrounding the "problem;" 4. Remove opposition by silencing debate through the stigmatization of dissenters, attaching significant economic risks/penalties to dissent, and requiring ‘moral’ people to prove/signal their ‘goodness’ by being active allies in the fight against the inverted problem; 5. Collect the political and economic rewards.

Wow. People need to see this, MILLIONS of people.
I am not a fan of horror movies, I have a hard time with the tension and nervousness that comes with it. If I am forced to watch a movie with friends, I will often take breaks to calm my anxiety.
I took three breaks while watching this video to calm my anxiety. It didn't really help. This is really scary to me.
I feel like when I watched Jesus Camp fot the first time. This is just scary...
The entirety of the 2010s' social justice movements, critical theory, critical race theory, feminist theory, Marxist theory, etc. ALL OF THEM, are just an extremely loquacious and pretentious way of saying "NOTHING IS EVER MY FAULT!!! OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS THE PROBLEM!!! I WANT EVERYTHING TO CHANGE TO SUIT ME!!!!!"
It should thus come as no surprise that the people who are drawn to these conflict theories are the exact same people that Bill Eddy calls "high-conflict people," meaning that they think that everything that they dislike is a transgression against them personally, and that something, anything but themselves is always to blame.
Exactly, "Jesus Camp" came to my mind as well while watching this.
Actually Jesus Camp looks good compared to this...

@@veneziablau do you not see the dark path your side is going down? you say you have a problem with racism, yet are outwardly racist and totalitarian. i hate to bring up this example, but this movement is headed in a direction that the national socialist movement was in german before ww2. the closest thing we have witnessed to that. really look at the tendancy to only allow one viewpoint with threat of punishment, pushing hate and moral condemnation onto a certain race/gender arbitrarily, causing mobs and violence in the name of the cause directed at anyone you deem racist, providing no logical explanation of the issue and how to solve it, and not allowing a possibility of redemption for those you deem racist without being washed clean and denouncing their race/gender. its basically the definition of hate and racism, and it really is along the line of what the nazi party did. it can really only go two ways at this point. either people start to realize the harmful effects and its fizzles out, or it becomes more dangerous and we have a truly horrible problem. but it will not end in a reasonable solution, because the movement is not reasonable. and people are getting worried becsause it is getting more aggressive, violent, and hateful...

Benjamin Boyce was an Evergreen student who covered every aspect of this in great depth. Check out his channel. Incredible stuff. Much more frightening stuff really. Shows how much of a cult this place was.
I think you mean IS not was, nothing much has changed apparently.
The Dave true
I second a recommendation for Boyce! His other interviews are also very good.
I third this recommendation. I started following his channel because the Evergreen train wreck was so fascinating, and I like the direction he's been going in with his interviews.
This whole story has to be made into a movie
There is already a movie about this topic: The Wave
I love that book The Wave.
It feels like mental and psychological abuse for someone to metaphorically or even physically beat the notion into another that you’re inherently bad because you look a certain way - mind boggling.
It’s like a cult. Literally... I’ve said this for years
Oh it most definately is
Fighting fire with fire, but you don’t know what fire is.
And it’s literally taught by the schools through CRT and when people like Ron Di Santis take steps to fix education they are called anti black by CNN and MSNBC it seems people are trying to destroy western civilisation
It's called a 'Struggle Session'....
Years ago during Vietnam there were protests taking place on the campus grounds of Notre Dame. The Dean of Notre Dame was a Rev. Charles Sheedy. He went out to the protesters and informed them that they had 10 minutes to get to the classes they were supposed to be in or they would be expelled the next day, and they could answer to their parents as to why they were expelled. And he stated he would be checking the attendance rolls for the rest of the day. In less than five minutes the protest was over. We need more Deans that don't let the children run things. If they don't like it they can go to another school.
the real problem is that they are not kids, they are adults. The deans need to stop allowing grown ass adults who behave like children to attend.
The problem is that most colleges have simply become businesses, and their measure of success is purely financial. So their goal is to attract and maintain as many paying students a possible. Their customers are the students, and so they cater to them to keep them enrolled and paying. Kicking them out has therefore become counter-productive.
@@wm-xe2ckNo, they are centers for indoctrination and view students as their tools. They don't care about education except when "education" supports their tyrannical views.

I went to Evergreen in the last ten years, attended for two weeks, and quickly dissolved into fear, confusion, and insomnia. I am highly sensitive, however: instability is the means in which the populace is distracted; an opium or vodka. This is a microcosm of the broad-scale public distraction taking place. We have no energy to fight for ourselves, because we're busy running from our neighbors, and running towards the infinite simulated comfort space. Beware of those operating within a heavily power-driven ethos with disregard for those unlike them.
Holy shit, that chilled me to the bone. Particularly because I'm currently reading the Gulag Archipelago and the comparisons are abundantly clear.
No wonder Peterson was so worried
Great book! I may read it again soon! ty!
This is a perfect example of what I experienced in communist China when I lived there during the Cultural Revolution; you could accuse someone, and they were labeled as guilty!!!
Martin McNamara I’ll never forget the first time someone told me I was a racist and had white privilege.
All of my life, up until that moment, I’d felt I had the ability to discuss, debate and examine. Particularly important when it comes to someone telling you something about yourself and that someone having zero knowledge of you or your life experiences up until that moment- but that was the thing- I was told it isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact and that I just haven’t the ability to see it and acknowledge it.
It was mind boggling. That my very existence was only valuable if I could first acknowledge that I was born wrong.
This was based exclusively on my race.
I recall immediately thinking, so this is what it’s like to be judged on skin color alone.
*This IS racism*
@@ChoochooseU Just say you don't identify as white, and if you are a male say you identify as female. That always throws them for a loop.
12:13 "...you are required by your job to create an atmosphere in which all children can learn."
They actually consider college students to be children.
That explains a LOT.
Just got to that part. Wow.
I guess "Evergreen State College" should be renamed as "Evergreen child care" to avoid any future confusion :)
I studied neurosych and yes, they are childreb. Or, I should say, their brains are not fully developed.
Aside from which, some of them may have been legally children.
Anyway, to your point, people mature at different rates. There are 16 year olds who work, go to school, cook. There are married 16 year olds. There are 16;year olds going to school and raising a child.
There are also 16 year olds who get tucked into bed. People mature at different rates.
The problem here is that they are acting like children but want to be respected like adults.
More importantly, they are speaking to staff,, to elders as equals. At the same time they are acting like kids
This is mind blowing. Thanks for doing this video. The amount of racism coming from those folks preaching that they are fighting racism is astonishing.
The ‘canoe’ thing looks like the public humiliation of the Khmer Rouge and Mao’s Red Guard.
The girl on the Mic talking about Racism is terrifying - it's like being told you are guilty, you always be guilty.
Which one ? Timestamp please .
I believe the one starting at 4:23 - she's not a girl, probably a teacher or a diversity-officer: in the latter case, her wage and power are both huge.
Regardless, she's actually chilling: like a true Stalinist, she proceeds to proclaim dogmas (racism exists, it is systemic, you cannot see it but it's behind everything, white are guilty even if nobody can point to any act of discrimination, and so on) and to assign roles and rules.
It's a Marxist class system, where the oppressed ones (as defined by the theory) deserve to take power in their hands by any means: Paradise will eventually ensue, in unspecified ways.
Amazing that this crap is still alluring to educated people after a century of Communist tragedies. I'd like to know how many courses about Communism history are taught there; on the other hand, if they are present, I guess their failures are ascribed to "Capitalism".

Truly scare, truly cultish. The last time a race was forced to admit to collective de facto guilt because of historical crime and privilege, my family ended up in concentration camps.

This is scary. At times I felt like I was watching a cult-like ceremony. It was surreal to watch educated people engage in the canoe march.
I have watched reporting from the "N-th Congresses of the [eastern block country] Communist Party". 100% match. Lived through having to plan own promises to [whatever The Party's plan for me is]. Having experienced that as a set framework for living, I know now people who haven't been there most probably will voluntarily go into that to do their learning to eventually fight to go out of that and only then get immune to never go BACK into that any more.
Educated? More like, "educated."
It is a cult. SJWs are the definition of a cult.
I was half expecting to see those black and white cartoon spirals in their eyes. "One of us, one of us, one of us...."
15 minutes and evergreen reminds me of Tarkenton college from the Kurt Vonnegut novel Hocus Pocus. The character starts as a teacher at the school and ends up an inmate when it becomes a penitentiary. Great book.
Those evergreen clips are so illuminating. They reveal the deep core of "equity's" evil and hatred.
I followed the Evergreen story when it first broke, and I had no idea of the extensive backstory. This is so disturbing, and I’m a political centrist. I’m really looking forward to part two.
Thanks, part 2 will be out today
The canoe was just perfect; Evergreen has gone up shits creek without a paddle.
😳_😬 Clinician here. The POW Syndrome effect is REAL! I went to Evergreen in the eighties. Stuff like this was fringe back then. I knew it had gotten bad- but I had no idea it was to this extent. This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! 🤯_😒
Cult? A Multi-layered Marketing Scheme? I cannot believe no one said anything in those meetings? They were ridiculous. We cannot learn from history through revenge and shame. You learn from history through empathy and understanding. Evergreen freaked me out. Just creepy zombie-like vibe. Does everyone have to take a xanex before attending class so there is 0% anxiety on campus...LOL
This is not even about revenge and shame. A lot of these peple didn't experience anything outrageous in their entire life, let alone something so outdated in Western Society as slavery.
They are just outright idiots to me, and when idiots get power, shit happens.
No one said anything because they will be branded all kinds of nasty terms and ousted like lepers. In their insane world nobody can ever disagree with them without being horrible persons with horrible motives. This legitimize all kinds of behavior in their heads since anyone speaking out against them deserves whatever they get the way they see it.
They fame it as anti-racism, so if You protest, they frame Your protest as racist.
People who wrote Critical Theory were brilliant propagandists, all Neo-Marxist ideology inherent talking points from Critical Theory.
The amount of propaganda sound effects in this "documentary" seems to make the anti-"sjws" a cult.

I wish it wasn't so.
After hearing about the hypocrisy of the CHAZ/CHOP efforts(another shooting/2 killed today). I legit googled Bret to re-watch this story. It feels like I'm taking crazy pills.
Agreed. I've been sharing it everywhere I can. THIS documentary, in my opinion, is the best tool we have to show the world where this ideology goes. It's fascinating and horrific - please share. We still have a chance but we must educate people now.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
In this case, however.. The monster these students and faculty thought was on their campus was/is something that only they could see.
The monster they invented has stared into their souls and sees his own reflection staring back at him.
Jesus. This was an unbelievably powerful watch. As a teacher, postgraduate student and theatre practitioner in the UK, I can safely say this is starting to be mirrored in full force over here, too, and it honestly terrifies me. Bret’s comment about being alone in a crowd is something I truly understand, and I fear that crowd is going to become much larger, more vocal and will further engulf the fundamental pillar of society that is access to a high standard of education.
Thank you for this, it's comforting to see I am not completely alone.
You are not alone. Cheers from across the Pond. = )
Do ya have a loicense for that type of think?
So the middle aged white hippy college teachers tell the kids the world is yours, go forth and change the world. The kids put one foot outside, see the shit show , turn around and say “ what the fuck did you do?”, “ what the fuck DIDNT you do”. The sight of Burt telling the kids about dialectics when they’re incandescent and inarticulate with rage. Burts a dick , he took the reproach personally and refused to rethink. Now he s out there whining to the right how unfair it is when all he did was sit on his tenured ass for 20 years.

That raised an eyebrow for me too but is very indicative of the abject insanity of the identity politics adherents....
Yeah that was certainly not a well made comment, at least put of context.
I do think that as a country we have a misconception of how rights are achieved. MLK tends to be the go-to figure template for how an oppressed group gains rights, which is sensible. We should also note that the first major advancement in human rights for black people in this country came from the Civil War.
@@gabemurrey1595 Don't diminish the significance of Shay's Rebellion, the war of 1812, and John Brown. The Civil War did not arise out of thin air. The struggle for abolition was long. It has roots clear back to the colonial era.

@katie, I thought the same thing when I heard it.
like Dolores Umbridge
So true.....
I love the idea of the Canoe as a metaphor for navigating the headwinds, waves, and rocky shores of the ocean with scores of diverse individuals on board.
Since Canoes are small vessels designed and built for only a few people on inland waterways on calm waters it would fail as miserably as this diversity council is destined to fail. I can imagine the in-fighting between narrower and narrower intersectional groups as every one of the "woke" members pretends to be offended and inclusive and victimized simultaneously.

Everything here has a distinct cultish feel to it. From the monotone “I believe” speeches and then the infinitely convoluted speeches by “whiteness scholars” and other self proclaimed academics. Then most frighteningly the controlling and authoritarian characteristics of the individuals in charge of the changes.

I knew Jamil Bolling (one of the perpetrators, the one telling faculty they can’t go to the restroom alone, riding around on bike with a bat), and I’m wondering how racist he thought I was when he invited me to his grandmas house. At some point he was radicalized even more than your average gay high school student in the 2010s, I wish I knew where when and how that happened.
This is a real life horror movie, with the final scene like the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). When Brett described his colleagues as sleepwalking I thought Donald Sutherland might pop up and point at someone.
Yes. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe someone can make a video w voice overs like the ones w Hitler in the bunker..
Whaaaaaat. The canoe scene is ultimate cringe. I could never participate in that sort of Tomfoolery. Fools. All of em
I agree. But group dynamics and social pressure can be a weird thing. Basically a lot of people just run with the pack, which puts logic and reason on the sidelines. Super, super scary.
You should check out The Line experiment (I think this is what it is called?); the participants were told they needed to point to the longest of the lines on a piece of paper as they go around the circle. A few were hired actors who were told to either purposefully choose the incorrect choice or vice versa. The results were pretty mind blowing
Whenever I see people recite Creed's, I leave as quickly as possible. Growing up in a cult allows me the ability to spot dogmatic, cultist behavior. Evergreen turned into a cult overnight. Sad

Man, I knew about this whole thing, but this level of depth and insight into the whole thing is truly mind boggling (in a very concerning way). Really great work gathering all these clips and presenting them around the solid interviews with Brett and Heather. Bravo.
Sadly the context (evergreens atmosphere, specific confrontations) makes it more shocking. Can’t believe I never heard of the obvious power play situation holding George and telling him matter-of-fact “hold it” - it’s as if these people want revenge. And these capitulating mfs like him embolden them, the dude is so afraid of not being progressive enough. This is not a good trend. I never thought I’d say it but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a race war in this country before the century is over. Really depressing.
Those students lost two of the greatest teachers they could ever have had. That's alright tho, more Bret and Heather for us.

They lived in a house very similar to the one you described until it burnt to the ground 4 years before he completed the new house. They lived in tents for a few weeks before getting a portion of the house livable.
This idea of white priveldge is disgusting to me and my family. The privledge I know have was earned through the heat and the sweat of my grandfather and his family to provide for his children. I'll be damned if they take his work away with just a few words.
It is a cherry picking version of retroactive justice. What do you expect.
Suttree if you’re white, the chances of you getting pulled over, harrassed or incarcerated as a result is much much smaller that that of a POC. That’s white privilege. Getting treated differently because you’re white. No one is trying to take anything from you.
White privilege doesn't mean all white people have it better than all black people.
@@floobuscanoobus I love it when American cosmopolitans preach this BS as if it's the undeniable truth everywhere. So much anti-white hatred and lies.
4 years later I am watching it again.
I still cannot believe it. Such excellence work Mike and I think an important historical event captured.
It's just hitting me that this is Stanford's Prison Experiment! anybody else finds it too similar? when you see those people talking and making a sassy point look at their expectation of applause... it's not an expectation of rebuttal but applause!... those are guards having a meeting reveling in their power.
No animal shall sleep in a bed (with sheets) much?
Yeah man, I see it.
This is fascinating from a psychological perspective.
It is totally gripping.
So white management and admin used critical race theory/queer to destroy a leftwing college? Great plot!
It really is
Beautifully made video, Mike. Appreciate all you’re doing
This is a perfect case study when feelings override facts in development of policy.
Not a single example of racism, institutional or otherwise. Mind-boggling. These people are nutters!
Good catch! 😂😂😂
“There’s racism”
“Where?”
“If you have to ask you’re racist”
Nope because asking them to provide examples is racist
Hold up there buddy, did you just say "these people"?!
I mean, to be perfectly honest, this is an edited video with a clear goal. I don’t think we can really say that there were no cases of racism in Evergreen based solely in what we see here.
I am speechless. What I witnessed in this video is sickening. I have much difficulty trying to imagine how any of this became possible. This type of thing needs to be resolved. This cannot be allowed to continue. Exposure is first priority. Thanks for the video and thanks to all who are working on solutions.
These people are so focused on sowing division. Makes me fear for the future. This will destroy civilization.
If we don't stop them!
@@MeanBeanComedy how? I mean hell.. There is NO rationality. You cant debate with crazy. Wtf smh. I've been at a loss for the longest time. Even my house is divided.
💯💯
This documentary is, in my opinion, the best succinct example of how this all goes wrong. It feels like it could be at the university down the street. Share this documentary with friends. We have a chance NOT to go down the path of the totalitarians. It WILL destroy civilization.
We will be destroyed, only a matter of time.
We are being pummelled by 'race, race, race,' at a time when we have already made great strides in a much more equitable direction. I certainly don't think this is faring well for our society. The agenda seems to be a destructive one, rather than a constructive one.
I’m stunned. I’m shocked. This is scary, scary reality.
I love how the Evergreen academics all blame George Bridges instead of their own far-Left politics. George Bridges was just the catalyst that accelerated the inevitable.
Good point
Read Harrison Burgeron by Kurt Vonnegut, if you want to see the implementation of "equity."
projectgattago I always thought ray Bradbury wrote that but I’d be happy to be wrong.
@@Tehcarp Well, you can Google it...LOL
I clearly remember reading Harrison Burgeron in 7th grade (2001). Basically, nobody in the class understood it because it was so "bizarre"; takes place in a different society, the main character is in chains and locks, the news is all weird... stuff that the average 7th grader wouldn't really draw parallels to the society they live in. I recall Mr. Thomas explaining to us how misleading the idea that "everyone is equal" truly is. I'll never forget it.
@MrIxmi Such a profound short story. It isn't read widely enough.
@@Chadthefatherbear I'd bet 7th graders would have no trouble understanding it today.
I’m just thankful mainstream media covered this incident for so long.. oh wait...
I wonder why they were so quiet on this issue 🤔🤔🤔
this is exactly the reason, i cringe every time i hear someone say "we need an honest conversation about race." Except that it won't be a conversation, it will be a lecture.
they shouldve sought to outdo the SJW crowd by proposing eliminating all departments and having a single department, and two majors- a bachelor's in applied social justice, with a minor in whiteness studies.

Not only a lecture.... but a diatribe of bullshit fiction created to end American and/or white freedom.power grab by total wackos.
We need an honest discussion about race - and the SJWs are going to hate it if we ever actually have one.
Its not even a lecture. It's so much worse than that. It's an inquisition. You're placed in front a counsel and you must repent for your crimes whether you think you did them or not. You must renounce your very being or you die.
