We can't pick up your stream of bullshit down in the deep state, do you have a translator that speaks your particular flavor of bullshit, the last one choked to death on someone else's vomit.

and Bret Weinstein just streamed 2 hours with Dave Rubin live
I don't understand what you're getting at. Did you watch particularly the interview with Weinstein? It was very well done in my opinion, and well worth my time. Regardless of political affiliation, I would think it is something that the vast majority of people would appreciate. I found Weinstein to be extremely well spoken.We can't pick up your stream of bullshit down in the deep state, do you have a translator that speaks your particular flavor of bullshit, the last one choked to death on someone else's vomit.
That's been the right wing media's MO for a while. They basically troll for some isolated instance of illiberalism that they can feed back to their base as the epitome of all that is liberalism.The more I read about this, something stinks. Unless I misread, I fully support the professors stance. Just seems to me a bunch of misguided students and an aberration that Fox news and the right want to link to the left and liberalism as something thats inherent with liberalism as a whole (rather than the aberration it is).
Kind of like taking one example of a whack job murderer and labeling it "The unbridled violence of the Alt Right?"That's been the right wing media's MO for a while.

He's chanting all the alt-right slogans, and doing all the things that the alt-righters brag about wanting to do (and get away with), why won't the alt-right claim one of their own?Kind of like taking one example of a whack job murderer and labeling it "The unbridled violence of the Alt Right?"
Selective blindness knows no party affiliation, this much has been shown.He's chanting all the alt-right slogans, and doing all the things that the alt-righters brag about wanting to do (and get away with), why won't the alt-right claim one of their own?

Evergreen State has always been one of the furthest left colleges in America. They make Reed look conservative.Tucker Carlson the new self proclaimed king of FOX news now show is like 90% about how liberal colleges are liberal ~

This isn't one of the usual pieces of BS right wing propaganda. It's real and they're right this time.
The sad irony is you'd get shouted down a lot of places by liberals, as you were trying to voice this.I second this. Watched the entire two hour interview with Dave Rubin last night and it was worth the time. I highly recommend that anyone on either side watch it. The events he describes at Evergreen are thoroughly repugnant, but when asked what people should think of the behavior of the students, he urges people to see them as well intentioned but misguided. He's a much better person than they are, and he's much more progressive than they are. What they're doing is not liberalism. It's the antithesis of it.

Anyone watching this who isn't concerned about what is going on in college campuses these days is putting his head in the sand. Liberals need to stand up to this before it gets worse. These people are damaging the progressive movement in incalculable ways.

If only the mainstream bothered to cover it! That's the real disservice, if you ask me.I'm glad people here have the capability to see this. I think right wing media attachment here does a disservice to the merits of the (growing) problem.

There's an interesting discussion in the interview about why only conservative news stations were willing to do an interview of a self proclaimed liberal.If only the mainstream bothered to cover it! That's the real disservice, if you ask me.

Why would they stand up? This is what Liberals want, what they yearn for. This behavior is simply a more honest portrayal of the modern day Liberal. They're not going to stand up, privately the thrill of what these idiots are doing resonates with them.
Plus Evergreen college is one of the wackiest liberal colleges in the country.That's been the right wing media's MO for a while. They basically troll for some isolated instance of illiberalism that they can feed back to their base as the epitome of all that is liberalism.
Is see you quoted yourself and beat me to it Vic.Plus Evergreen college is one of the wackiest liberal colleges in the country.
I'm just glad you are here in this thread. I was beginning to think it was just ideological war all day every day here. Just as the actions of these students ought to be repudiated by the Left, lest they be taken to represent the Left at large, the actions of bad actors on the Right need to be called out and repudiated by the Right as well.WaPo covered this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...university-washington/?utm_term=.5b7cf755d73b
And WSJ gave Weinstein an opinion piece:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-campus-mob-came-for-meand-you-professor-could-be-next-1496187482
Still, I agree that this incident needs more mainstream coverage. However, I tend to agree with Weinstein's theory about the limited coverage. It isn't a liberal bias - it's that if the media backs the version they know is consistent with the facts (that Weinstein clearly isn't racist) they get accused of being racist themselves. This fits with the way WaPo chose to cover it - basically by showing Weinstein's e-mail and allowing the readers to draw the obvious conclusion, but offering virtually no commentary.
If true, this is actually a bit more disturbing than the liberal bias theory, because it suggests that the media is cowed to remain silent, similar to how other faculty who support Weinstein in private are unwilling to say anything publicly for fear of becoming the next Weinstein. Like I said, we all need to stand up against this.
It's what happens when the Left suffers from the same hyper partisan malady that we discussed in another thread. It churns up a regressive and racist segment of a voting bloc you never knew existed. But don't be surprised next time, understand that such failings are human and will appear in all groups. The real issue is any defense of the regression and racism on display from the students.
Racism hasn't been dealt with, and it's how we got here.
Just look at the threads where people are still clinging to civil war bs.
The sad irony is you'd get shouted down a lot of places by liberals, as you were trying to voice this.
Notice you won't even get the cowards on this forum to even acknowledge there's a problem, let alone go "hey, you know, you're right. "
It's funny to me how the left just dismisses everything as "Fox news!" and now their new favorite boogyman that's taken up residence under every lefty's bed.. the utltra scary, all powerful, 'alt right!' OOOOOOOOO!!! scary!
So the fact that there's fucking days on a college campus where people are excluded- BASED ON RACE! Nope! Doesn't exist! Fox News!!! Alt right boogyman!! WAHHH!!
Videos showing numbskull, authoritarian-minded leftists shouting down people, calling people racist for objecting to race-based exclusions on campus.... FOX NEWS!!! ALT RIGHT!! WAHHH!!!
Just look at this thread. No ability what-so-ever to deal with REALITY, just whine about Fox news and then sweep the actual SUBJECT under the rug. That's all you're going to get from your fellow 'progressives'. (Joke term). None will even address the problem- the delusional psychos here (and indicative of large numbers of leftists) actually think the terms 'snowflake' and 'safe space' and all the thing their fellow leftists are ridiculed for (FOR CREATING IN REALITY!) are just inventions and that they can level the insult against anyone that points it out! Just read any loony thread here that even approaches this subject.
But good luck if you think you'll get any of your fellow regressives to wake up. Too busy worrying about Fox News and the 'alt right' boogyman hiding under the bed.
