I wasn’t sure if this is belonged in politics or off-topic, forgive me if I chose poorly

first part is podcast, second part is Q&A





I was really fascinated with Bret’s story and the whole Evergreen catastrophe back when it all went down and have tried to listen to him as much as possible since then, especially his JRE appearances

I haven’t watched both these videos in entirety yet but I would imagine there are people just as interested as I am in hearing them reflect on that dumpster fire of a systemic breakdown/embarrassment they had to endure.

Check out his Dark Horse Podcast if you get a chance

Those brainwashed college kids were fucking crazy. Just angry, misguided, belligerent morons who wanted an excuse to seize power. I saw some of the clips they were so intellectually challenged they couldn't construct any kind of meaningful discourse and just shouted and ranted like animals. I hope that whole school goes under.

I watched that YT documentary that someone shared on here a few months back. Had lots of the behind the scenes footage from Evergreen, staff meetings, a really disturbing lecture from that extra crazy professor lady, stuff like that. Bret’s words describing the whole ordeal are still haunting to me.

I’m shocked by the willingness that such a large portion of the student body showed, so eager to go full “mob justice” on Bret (a good guy who had dedicated most of his adult life to helping students like them) and anyone in their way.

Im more shocked that the University did nothing to stop it, they enabled it, some staff even justified it.

It is just so weird to me

Young kids are a product of their environment. The reason this kinda crap is growing is because institutions are pushing it and teaching it, and it's being propagated on social media, where young kids spend tons of time on. They are essentially being indoctrinated and brainwashed. You look at how cultists act when someone tries to get into their cult, it looks frighteningly similar the way they act. It's just to go nuts. The school is definitely most to blame and I believe Bret sued them(and won) or they settled. SOme colleges have gone from a place of learning to a place of recruiting, and some of these "professors" you see pop up teaching factually incorrect propaganda is really scary and an indictment on these schools.

I worked in public education for a little over a decade and it just really affected me to see a good teacher get railroaded and crucified (metaphorically) by basically a gang of lawless youth who had no one in a position of authority holding them accountable.

I’ve seen a lot of things in my 12ish years working in schools but I’ve never seen anything remotely close to this, at the high school level anyway.

As a “bleeding heart liberal” myself (or I thought I was), the Evergreen situation serves as one of the most egregious cases of “eating our own.”

I keep hoping for a “Where Are They Now” special to find out what all these “rebels” are up to these days.

I consider myself a Christian that's progressive... But there's no way I could ever defend these small minded children for doing that to that man. Just despicable.

Why would the university do anything about it? They were the ones that trained them to behave like that.
