From what I've heard so far about the aftermath of 2017; to the school, the teachers like Bret and Heather and many of the students, it seems that even 3 years later, the students that were leading the uproar still have the same sense of entitlement that they had then. It seems that with many of them, they have yet to grasp the fact of the seriousness of what they did, and what could (and in many cases SHOULD) have been the result. At almost any other institution at any other point in time, if this resulted in a large number of students being expelled, it would have been them getting off easy. It is highly likely that if they did this somewhere else, MANY of them would have been facing a long list of VERY serious felony charges. Inciting a riot, kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment (George Bridges as well as some other faculty who were essentially hostages at one point), assaults, intimidating witnesses, obstruction of justice, destruction of government property, and on, and on, and on. And it wouldn't just be these charges on their own, but people indicted on several counts of these charges. They're kids, mostly teens and people in their early 20s. We know how it is at that age, they don't have the most developed impulse-control yet and to many of them likely never considered the possible life changing repercussions for it, I can probably forgive them for their ignorance, to a degree. Some of the faculty who were involved however, they have NO excuse, and Naima Lowe being the #1 instigator. Being more aware of her and her obvious involvement, I have no reservations in saying that not only did she enabled what happened, I believe she was the instigator that made this whole thing happen. Forgetting her biography up to the point of the whole affair, it seemed that the the students that were the organizers of it were really just the mouthpiece that SHE used to forward her own agenda. In video after video you hear the same terms being repeated by the students, things like "emotional labor," and other terms that many haven't heard used, then you watch a video of her giving a presentation a few years before this, and there you hear her using all of these terms. She manipulated everyone around her, facility as well as students. She knew perfectly well the possible trouble the students were facing, I just don't think she cared. I doubt that, if she mentioned it at all, she gave any real emphasis that there could be serious ramifications for what the students were planning. She's little more than an academic chicken hawk.
@@jackjames6849 Well, in the eyes of the law I agree, but ignoring the things that lead up to and initiate the event doesn't benefit anyone. More to the point though is that it would allow the person, who IMO is THE most responsible for what happened, to skate through it without any scrutiny. You can be SURE that if this event ended in the way that these really naive and clueless kids thought it was going to (the exact nature I don't know, and probably changed from kid to kid) and they were viewed as some kind of heroes, she would move front and center to receive whatever praise that was given. The fact that after she left Evergreen because of the "amount of racism," which going by what had been considered to be "racism" for centuries, was all but non-existent; some other short sighted and oblivious institution secured her a 2-year fellowship, which she also left early do to THEIR apparent oppressive racism (offering her a fellowship for the sole purpose of being her there so they could subject her to more oppression seems like a LOT of work), but let's be honest, she could work at a place that's 99% black and she'd still somehow find a way they are racist) is demonstrative that she's shameless.
The "emotional labor" term for manipulation/exploitation is common in the ideology they follow of "anti-racism"🤮 why don't they do us the emotional labor of controlling themselves and shutting up
After watching Benjamin's series and reposted over the summer months, I've been surprised that the evergreen president never resigned from his position just by his own capitulation... strange hypocrisy? thanks for this interview
Excellent interview, it decodes the moment perfectly. There's very little info and reflection, study and analysis on the behaviours that the media accept face value and end up validating through political activism.
From Ben's description of how Evergreen was set up; the immersive type of independent study, I can definitely see why it was attractive to him when he was looking into going back to school for his degree. Personally, it has some red flags that I would probably have found suspect, but I certainly don't need convincing to see why it would be attractive to some people.
The inmates running the insane asylum is attractive to the insane. This sort of dysfunction is counter productive to any advancement in a persons life or society in general.
It’s funny the day of absence play can be considered plagiarized from the struggle of India against England when Gandhi had the day of prayer and fest. This is basically a day of absence, which through the British is the turmoil.
24:52 of video is the exact reason the faculty and students fell in line with what happened at evergreen. And in today's climate the exact reason it's cropping up every.
Thank you gentlemen. Please stop being so “sensitive.” These students are purely evil, full of hatred. As Paul said in 2 Timothy 2 “they have been ensnared by the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.” The only solution is the Gospel. When a person is truly converted they are filled with and led by the Holy Spirit. Therefore they love everyone and actually cannot hate anyone. “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit given unto us!” Racism problem solved !
“The way the classes were designed reminded me a lot of preschool 🙀”

Evergreen is not an anomaly - it's coming to a town near you, if it's not already there by now.
Indeed - I think partly because a lot of people on the left who should have known better dismissed it as 'a right-wing talking point.'
I would think the years working in preschools helped to prepare him for 4 years at Evergreen.
So happy for this interview! I've listened to you both for several years! Thank you so much, both of you!

Nah. No excuse for mentally functioning people of the age of majority to commit apparently gross violations of civil rights.

And now, these kids are tearing down all but one or two historical statues in Portland and a city near you.
The crossover I’ve been waiting for!

49:16. This is exactly why companies are instituting CRT training-To insulate the company elites from liability.

Yes, you most definitely need to do your homework, lol. I have seen at least 90% of Mr. Boyce's podcasts. Very enlightening.
Fantastic interview

Bret Weinstein never stood down. A man of principle

The girl died of a heart attack
scratches the back of tha head when saying he has seen stuff...
32:28 No, is not simplistic. It is just wrong and the other guy just doesn’t know about it

The only place this nonsense doesn’t exist is in our heads and hearts…
Somewhere a bulldozer is waiting for Evergreen.
When you live in the anglosphere part of the world and you teach people to leave God and worship woke dogma, this is the result.
If the blacks left for a day the difference would be so huge they would never ever be let back in.
