Now why didn’t I think to put this in the video? (Thanks a friggin’ lot, La Croix!) Yes, Baumunk was recently okayed to teach another year, and Grace Huerta is still chair of the UFE www.evergreen.edu/directory/people/baumunkj www.ufevergreen.org/leadership/

I don't know whether to upvote or downvote this post!

metatech I'm upvoting it only because it's information -- and information is always good.

+Benjamin A Boyce At least Grace is not on the UFE Grievances committee. That would be an even bigger irony than the name her parents chose to give her.

Ben , as always a good video though I have to admit I skipped forward a bit to the conclusion. The idea that pointing a finger can be construed as a threat is bizarre to me. Maybe it's my background, or perhaps my age. I don't know, but it seems that at Evergreen a commitment to caring about the students has evolved into seeing almost everything as a potential harm or danger to them. At what point does reality come into play? When you raise children (and these are children make no mistake) to believe in the Easter Bunny, and never disabuse them of the notion... is it so surprising that they still believe in it? The job of the college, since they themselves have accepted it, is to help raise these children into being adults. I don't know if it should be their job, but again... they have taken it on. Then they completely abrogate their responsibility in instilling the realities adults face. I raised my daughter, that was my responsibility I felt. Long discussions, frank and open discussions about any subject and my beliefs and my reasoning in reaching those beliefs. Is it so hard to talk with our children? At the same time encouraging my daughter to find her own beliefs, using her own reasoning with the honest acceptance that in many things there is no right answer just your answer. How has this been lost? I know I am no genius, nor am I a perfect parent but these educators have placed themselves into a parents role and have seemingly never learned how to be parents. Madness. Oh, and sweet tea (perhaps you too skipped to the conclusion).

That sounds about right to me. Crybullies are getting more common.

The Social Justice Warrior screams out in pain as they punch you

Harry Mills oh, the irony but they cannot see that because they are soooo triggered.

@Mistress M the guy who wrote Rules for Radicals was more of a clever practical joker type. He also believed in making ad hoc win-win *deals* with bitter opponents (like capitalism). He complemented opponents underhanded tricks with tricks of his own devising. He didn't believe in protests and marching.

Hierta is a lying p.o.s

If they traveled to Europe I think they would die of heart attack from all the gesticulation.

Eric, what you said is almost NOT an exaggeration.

Pointing at things is oppressive... when whites do it.

@Eric Redekop Nah, dude, I don't buy that. The entire problem is the tribalism. Doing it on the right is just as bad. I think the far left is the bigger issue these days. But you're essentially saying "(innocent party) get the bullet too" - which, btw, is a common sentiment in the current far left - & that's not the way to handle these problems. Don't fall into the cycle of hate, or you're just as bad. Hold people accountable for their actions, and nothing more.

That's right....only s person of color can point a finger...if a white person does it, its threatening.

Lol

Zilliack Eli ____ The subtle tyranny of melanin.

Zilliack Eli It’s amazing that these people can’t see what they are doing is racist

If you look at most racial activism at the end of the day it's all about retaliation.

Zilliack Eli they called the poor teacher a "person of privilege" also! This is like something from an alternate universe. Ugh

Zilliack Eli: "Can't solve racism with racism" - Oh don't worry, they have a solution for that. They simply changed the definition of racism to being something that white people and white people alone are capable of. ( Poof! ) Just like that, all their blatant anti-white racism, double standards and hatred simply no longer exist. Ta-dah!

It's all about perceived power. Since he is a whyte male with all the perceived power and she is a Hispanic womyn with no perceived power and is oppressed by the very presence of the perceived projected power that the whyte male can't help to exude. This means it is up to him to level the perceived power differential between the two which means he must be at least socially subservient to her while she is under no such constraints. This is the mindset that is omnipresent in this video.

At 5:43 - 5:46 she forcefully directs her hand toward his direction.

But he's a white male, so that pointed finger was a metaphorical gun and he was commiting an emotion based school shooting against those minorities from his position of power. /s

Rewatching this scene for the umpteenth time, I noticed the White male student -- note how he's adopted a subservient position, with his hands and arms indrawn as if he's trying to take up the least-possible space. I feel sorry for the White students at Evergreen; they must come out of there feeling like absolute dirt merely for being born White.

@zxy atiywariii That's the end game.

‘Pride is concerned with who is right; humility is concerned with what is right.’ -Ezra Taft Benson

I might just drive up to Washington to chase them around in a sheet going "ooga-booga-booga"

They know the guy is not a threat this is just about them wielding power for powers sake. It's interesting to note that they are far more corrupt than the system that they claim is oppressing them. People like this do not deserve power and regurgitate the same resentment driven ideology that caused the deaths of millions in the Communist regimes of the 20th century.

Yes pointing a finger is aggressive yet wandering the campus in packs with baseball bats is self defense.

Hahaha, you are right

I'd love to see them spend a week in the East End of London. 😂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK56aNOrua3YkZs.html

If we had Ben Boyces out there digging past the hype to find the truth - instead of leaving it to an MSM as corrupt as Evergreen faculty - we'd be hearing a lot less about racism....and the people dogpaddling towards Easy St screaming That Awful Word might occasionally be required to do a day's real work.

Ashley Klug yes, to me she seems indistinguishable from the students. Very unprofessional.

Yes, extremely unprofessional. But that's the culture there, I mean, they call the college president by his first name.

They are all equal Until they become more equal than others, that is

That Woman pointed at him first and who should that either of them did??? But I guess the point is that it only matters when a white man does it.

@Nevets It similiar to how a womyn can physically attack a man but a man can not physically attack a womyn, even as a retaliation type situation. It's all about perceived power. Whyte males are perceived to be the recipients of undeserved and unlimited power while the Hispanic womyn is perceived to be historically oppressed by the fact that he is whyte and a male and she is Hispanic and a womyn. This translates into that HE is the one that HAS to be SOCIALLY SUBSERVIENT in order to EQUAL OUT the POWER DIFFERENTIAL between the two.

Before the CAW(Canadian Autoworkers Union) officially became a corporation called Unifor (the Union) you would find pictures of Mao and Lenin on the walls...on the walls. I know because I was a part-time steward there and once I saw those pictures I knew that my days as both a union rep and a representative of the AGO were over. The collective in all unions(ALL UNIONS) is routinely ignored based on the circumstances(your sexual identity(female/man/queer/Hispanic etc will always protect you always, except in the case if you are a straight male, in which case you will burn. It happened to me). So, the fact that the IDENTITY union rep(Muerta) is a communist doesn't surprise me at all. She's completely communist and utterly corrupt. Utterly corrupt. What you are witnessing is a show trial circa 21st century with a group of brainless thugs. Brainless. Thugs. Evergreen is dead. It should be razed and the ground seeded with salt.

Joe Madden yep. I was once a member of H.E.R.E., famously corrupt Chicago union. Went to one meeting, that's all I needed. It was like a perverse parody of a Baptist service. In fact I some of the people there did cry out, "AMEN! AMEN!"

fragwagon My favorite was the "brothers and sisters" rhetoric. I knew that was bullshit even after I became a steward. It's all about economic Darwinism. All of it. Corporations bad, we good. Too funny.

not just energy. 46k in tax dollars.

@@jimm.3790 To be fair, that's 46k they decided to spend that could've gone to facilities, teachers, whatever.

Thank you for contributing your point of view; I know a lot of the people who watch these videos and count themselves in the "anti-sjw" camp like myself come off as aggressive and abrasive, even if the points being stated support their point of view, simply because the poster was somehow 'there' around these events. Conflicting points of view are what we MUST see more of, especially from people who fall into the lefts victimhood categories who directly and unequivocally refute the narrative they put forward. So again, thank you for having the courage to post here; I don't know where you actually are in the political spectrum, but even if you lean more left, if we can have any kind of civilized dialogue, it'd be a vast improvement over the current state of affairs.

As a big fat white Jewish man, I ask your forgiveness in advance for jokingly pointing out that you, as an ASIAN PoC, have not stockpiled enough victim status points to speak on this issue in defense of a privileged White man (who is getting smacked around) at Evergreen. If you were speaking on behalf of defending the Hispanic "faculty woman of color" (holding a very significant position of power), then you would have sufficient victim status points. You would even gain some status points. I hope you took this irony-fueled comment in good humor.

Wow. Thank you for writing your experience. This is the professor/student experience I was lucky and thankful to have more than 30 years ago. I am older, you see, before this garbage started. I wish more people knew and understood what professors who care and help can and do.

This should be pinned to the top....

Thank you for this post. I can see that you were not poisoned by this craziness. I want you to know that this teacher is lucky to have you as HIS ally. Everyone needs allies - not just "people of color". Evergreen is a toxic environment under the guise of being "woke" or whatever. In my time,(70s - 90s) liberals and progressives were tolerant of EVERYONE. We listened to each other, no matter what color we were. We didn't keep score of who was the most oppressed and who was the most privileged. We wanted things to be FAIR. We wanted everyone to be treated with RESPECT. This is vengeful, hostile, counterproductive and ABUSIVE.

Yep...

ruthlys smart kids!

Your kids chose well.

I agree with the sentiment but keep in mind as Napoleon said, "History is a set of agreed upon lies". Most, if not all, people do not remember that Rosa Parks was a P.R move. The ACLU literally put the whole thing in motion and filed multiple lawsuits within hours. What I find absolutely fascinating is to take a hard look at the facts of the Black community before and after Johnson decided to put them back into slave mentality and beholden to White Democrats once more. Thomas Sowell shows absolutely fabulous arguments on the subject. Remember just because you can't see the barbed wire doesn't mean that you are not in a prison.

You saw that scene when that woman was talking about "inclusivity" by excluding white students and staff? Perfect illustration of the hypocrisy. She caught herself, but was too proud to admit it. Pride, then fall.

Me too. It's like a window into an insane asylum.

Because it a symptom of the times. Also humanity loves to watch a car crash.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8-Tg5qLqqveYZ8.html

"... have no idea why I find this whole Evergreen thing so fascinating I didn't go there and know anyone who has..." Nobody went to Dunder Mifflin or Wernham Hogg either ;)

They function like a cult, breaking down their victims until their group's ideology is accepted, no false affirmations allowed, no mercy given. This is emotional and psychological abuse, and it is terrifying.

You poor sod

Happy Birthday to us all

it's christmas over here

Hey dude! Ah, I knew you'd like old Benny boy - we three should do a chat.

hey, my favorite excon, i bet u feel privileged. and my favorite ex junky stuck in a vietnam flashback.. your talk would be odd... Ben will be on meth and coverd with trany hokers halfway trough the show...id watch that.

I've streamed with Hagbard and Ben, so the three of us together would be great, although poor little Evergreen Alumni Ben might need a shower afterwards.

I'd really like to know more about Bridges background, like his past few jobs and his college career. At first, I thought he was just incompetent, but more and more I think he's much worse, that he's deliberately destructive. Incompetent would have just been fired by now, Machiavellian, with blackmail material on many of those around and above him seems more likely.

After watching some interviews with Weinstein I've realized that George Bridges is like an evil master mind, he's been orchestrating the whole shitshow going down and singled out everyone opposing him and his plans for the college. He might seem like a meek and feeble little sack of goo but he's really in total control of what's going on. Just check Matt Christiansen's interview with Weinstein, chilling to see how Bridges truly operates.

theawecabinet underrated comment.

Get tea with theanine in it. That's what I drink, it's like taking a xanax, but without impairing you.

Damn, I was about to make some coffee after reading the comment above this comment; but now I think I'd rather have some tea. Green tea though, I think. Must be my part-Asian heritage yelling for representation 😁

Liam McIrishman Interesting. I'm going to look into that. . .

Oi, you got a LOISENSE for that there cuppa tea?

It's not quite that bad just yet - but we're working on it... we're really, really working on it.

I think you could call it supreme cry bully tactics. If you always let children get their own way this is what you get.

I feel like slapping the finger snappers.

Google is doing the same kind of things internally. I honestly think people should probably be shorting the stock!

Lisey Marie Ikr! Seriously, how can a pointing _finger_ cause them to feel threatened?? I've seen people sperg out less after having had a gun pointed at them! --which wasn't uncommon in the sh*thole in which I once lived. A _FINGER_ equates to "lunging"?!

It is the well from which springs things like Starbucks closing all it's stores for a day of sensitivity training after a manager evicted two black guys who repeatedly refused to buy anything, one time in one store.

Must have started after they stayed up all night dancing at that Communist Party.

naughteedesign That's what worries me.

fascisaphobic. although in this case, fear is completely rational. we're watching the monster as an infant.

It was just a few steps away from becoming a struggle session.

mao would be proud.

Can you imagine if they went on a student trip to a country where using one's hands emotively is the norm? For students of color, their lack of understanding of "speaking with one's hands" is extremely Norwegian 😄

I wonder what would happen if they met a white male who is deaf but doesn't look disabled.

You heard it correctly. I have been thinking for several months that the only way to fix the "problems" at Evergreen would be to fire every white person and hire a poc to take there place. Anything short of that and you will continue to see these protesters.

Nah, just shut the place down. Or..have the admin grow a pair and kick these disrespectful little shits who think they're students.

That wouldn't fix anything--it would merely lead to more fractures and "oppressed groups" being formed. In a game of oppression Olympics, knocking out the top rung only causes the remaining groups to move up a peg, then reestablish the same dynamics with a different intersectional target. For example, if there are no white students, black students will declare the Hispanic ones to be a new "privileged class" and the darker-skinned blacks will declare themselves even more oppressed than lighter-skinned ones. Also, ones who claim a disability, LGBT or non-binary gender will attack everybody else.

It would make for an excellent study.

Here is an example of this dynamic in action: www.colorlines.com/articles/watch-decoded-colorism-latinx-community As for a formal study, I don't know how you would ever manage to get approval for a psychological study on these vindictive yet fragile individuals given the types of disclosure that would be required (not to mention that merely mentioning such a study would get you branded a racist, protested, and endlessly harassed).

This is off-topic, but you have an awesome dog!

zxy atiywariii Thanks! Yeah, she's really something!

Mistress M Incredible.

There have been a spate of articles these last couple weeks, and Bret went on Tucker again.

Benjamin A Boyce Yeah, I watched him on Tucker... Just seems way under reported imo.

No he's incompetent - he was ineffectual even before he was taken hostage, so I can't really blame that on the fact that he's shit scared. Those little fucks should have been expelled immediately and slapped with police charges, I can't say he's sinister because doing this deliberately would require spine and balls that George doesn't have. Although the board may be sinister and chose to keep George on knowing that he would continue to be ineffectual.

GoAway LeaveMeAlone being in a cult doesn’t make you incompetent, it just exposes that you lack critical judgement and are dangerously naive, he’s in a cult, and he’s deceiving others into joining it,

"...Although the board may be sinister and chose to keep George on..." Which is exactly what they did.

Actually, I think Mizzou is starting to recover. Big difference btw the two schools in many ways.

Agreed, but it's still interesting to watch both schools.

I agree they're different, but they're both still more entertaining than TV.

I had the same thought about Missouri

Kívánok!

If the camera wasn't on he'd probably point *with both hands.* Oh, I feel faint and shaky just typing that. I may need a safe space and a cuddly. Also, I should file a grievance against that man for psychologically terrorizing me inside my own imagination! *Such* a violation!

ketrin de miau __ he said once in a live stream that, in fact, he was pushed by them and that was all he needed to start recording videos, collecting documents and investiganting.

I think this is the fanciest beverage in all the whole comment field.

I do hope in the past year that you've stopped paying Starbucks to abuse and disrespect Law Enforcement. If you still consume Starbucks, you are guilty of paying progressive, entitled little sh*ts to write "Pig" on cop's coffee cups. If that doesn't bother you, please, don't ever dial 911 when you're in trouble. Call a barista to come save you. If you no longer pay Starbucks to be a$$holes, I thank you and encourage you to check out Black Rifle Coffee.

Geez, less than 9 minutes! It's depressing that people act with such malice and hatred, and pretend (or actually believe) that they are on the side of the just. Then, while provoking someone who speaking peacefully into merely pointing a finger, it's construed as a physical threat! ("I feel threatened" or whatever. "you saw how he went from zero to 60, george!") Absolutely disgusting. These people take projection to a whole new level!

You made it 9 minutes before cringe?

as a person of temperature i click in your direction zir

The good bit is 51:00 in: "HUERTA! BOOOM!". Pretty damning, too.

I think we can just say that an emotional, feelings based mindset is inferior to a rational, facts based mindset in public forums and avoid turning people off to your point by needlessly bringing gender into the idea.

I recently started watching Survivor/Bear Grylls island series and this "feelings based mindset" is pretty clearly a female thing. Just imagine being in a jungle and "voting out" the lumberjill who could actually make life easier ... just because she isnt a bitch like you. Women seem to have ZERO sense of logic and are incapable of "providing for themselves".

Muck006 I'm a woman and that's definitely a problem that's more prevalent among women. Fwiw, it irritates us logical women. I never saw that Survivor show, but if I were stranded on an island, I'd prefer to be stranded with more men than with more women. We do tend to get too emotional on average. Not all -- but on average. And men _almost_ always make better leaders. It's just how humans evolved. Just like male wolves and female marmosets evolved to have that sex lead their groups.

zxy atiywariii __ no kidding, I would prefer to be with a male partner in the jungle instead of a woman.

Rebecca, one of the fundamental and unavoidable biologically based differences between men & women is that women are inherently resource consumers while men are resource producers. This is one of the core reasons why women unwittingly support economically destructive policies. Men used to avoid doing the same but due to voting bloc paradigms men have resorted to the same appeals in order to compete for political power. This inevitably results in a long term downward spiral. Now I don't really expect you to agree with me and it is likely that you won't even understand my points. Not because you are a female but rather because my points are generally not well understood in modern society. There is something known as the Cycle of Democracy, this is part of the paradigm that I am referring to. It's an unavoidable consequence of long term prosperity and something that people younger than myself are unfortunately going to be met with. A few more details that might help you understand my POV. I have never been a registered Democrat or a Republican and nor is it likely that I will ever join either one of them. I don't hold my opinions out of a fear or a hatred of women. I just have a very good grasp of human nature and broad swath of history. People are flawed, short sighted and generally very ignorant creatures. Because of these general traits I feel it is best to legislate the least, dictate the least and nudge people the least. The chips must be allowed to fall where they may. The more social and government engineers try to poke and prod people in certain directions, the less stable, the less productive and the less capable a society will become over time. These things are already happening now and there is no signs of these bad trends being mitigated. In fact they are accelerating. I am not a Malthusian but I do have a keen eye for what is happening and memory to contrast the past and present with. Lastly, be aware of "data". I've seen an awful amount of data that is skewed and biased and often deliberately so. When you want to get a good sense of a situation contrast the actual observable results against the claims...

Well one of those things is a blood sucking parasite that causes irritation, and the other is a mosquito.

🙃
