Video of the Student Takeover at Evergreen State College. - General

In a more bizarre turn of events, the guy who started writing in chalk Limp Bizkit memes around campus had another confrontation by other students. Original video [url=https://youtu.be/L-SPKdLZBs0]here[/url] of him getting attacked by a group who dumped water on him and tried to bully him off. [media]https://youtu.be/ef6pQyspYAk[/media] And apparently some of these groups are walking around with baseball bats.

Still, and this may be a difference in laws and cultures somewhere, but could someone explain why the police (afaict) isn't doing anything to dissolve this group? Even with the little that can be safely said from the blurry and one-sided footage that's posted here, the whole situation seems way out of control at this point for anyone but law enforcement. (As an aside: This may just be me, but that 'World Star' meme is one of the stupidest things I've ever encountered online.)

I've seen the folks out and about with the bats The school sent out an email that was like "stop fucking doing that"

[QUOTE=Tamschi;52317630]I can't believe I agree with Republicans on a controversial race issue :suicide: It's not even a free speech issue to me though, you just can't have publicly funded discriminatory institutions (and/or this racist and/or defamatory institutions in general, for that matter) if you want things to not go (even more) sideways. [editline]6th June 2017[/editline] I fail to see a significant difference, to be honest. Even if he doesn't promote oppression of any specific group (I'm doubtful.), following his ideas at all would pretty much instantly lead to the exact same outcome judging by the information in your post.[/QUOTE] From what I've seen in his videos he mostly just really fuckin hates abrahamic religions and would rather people to live where there ancestors were and live more like their ancestors rather than having sprawling metropolis' and multiculturalism to the degree we have nowadays, not so much kill anyone that isn't of European descent/white. Check out his channel, see what you think [url]https://www.youtube.com/user/ThuleanPerspective[/url] I occasionally check the channel and watch the videos about black metal and some of the medieval/pagan stuff but I usually avoid the overly political videos i.e the ones about world politics, the ones back when the American election was happening etc

America has a creepy fucking obsession with race.

Those calls for praise of your ancestors' accomplishments always sound like people congratulating eachother over their favorite sports team winning to me. Get outta here with that.

[QUOTE=srobins;52313384]I don't understand what it is that makes people like Lambeth and GamerKiwi bend over backwards to explain and defend things that are so blatantly racist and absurd. You guys can still be progressive/liberal without trying to defend every stupid thing that comes from left wing politics, you understand that right? You don't have any obligation to defend stupid, shitty ideas like this, so why do you guys try so fucking hard?[/QUOTE] Because they like making people irritated. [QUOTE] Regardless on your views towards racism and reverse racism, the whole point here is that these students want the school to change for the better even if they are going about it in a way many don't agree with. The professor that caused this is known to have been casually racist in the past, as well as some of the administration (my teacher said the hard r in class last week and it was very awkward :(( ) and a large portion of his students are not on his side. Yes the videos are frustrating, yes they said dumb shit, yes they should not have cornered him, but no, campus is not in flames, no, the day of absence is not a anti-white day, and no, we don't hate white people here. Sorry to disappoint you all.[/QUOTE] Strange because he provided direct documentation on three different shows that utterly refutes your nonfactual opinions. So where's your proof then? Surely there's lots?

New updates/small recap about what is happening on campus. An email had to be issued out by the college to students to stop. [quote] The email was from Vice President for Student Affairs Wendy Endress, who in her memo addressed to “colleagues” included the message sent to students Sunday by Sharon Goodman, director of Evergreen’s Residential and Dining Service, or RAD, asking the “community patrol” to lay down its weapons. Dear RAD Students, We are aware of a small group of students coordinating a community patrol of housing and campus. We acknowledge and understand the fear and concerns that are motivating these actions. We also understand that these students are seeking to provide an alternative source of safety from external entities as well as those community members who they distrust. Community patrols can be a useful tool for helping people to feel safe, however the use of bats or similar instruments is not productive. Some members of this group have been observed carrying batons and/or bats. Carrying bats is causing many to feel unsafe and intimidated. The bats must be put away immediately in order to protect all involved. Non-students participating in this activity are advised to leave campus.[/quote] [url]http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/33027/[/url] Professor Weinstein has reappeared on Tucker Carlson. [media]https://youtu.be/SNdNF93H3OU[/media] And a second professor has spoken out in support of him. [url]https://heterodoxacademy.org/2017/06/07/a-second-evergreen-professor-speaks-out/[/url] [quote]This is a story of how a Democrat voting veterinarian working with mostly Republican livestock owners became a “bigoted” professor at a left wing progressive liberal arts college. It is about a collection of professors that are so blinded by their advocacy, that they cannot fathom different viewpoints. It involves a newly appointed President who believes in ideological safe spaces who endorsed a strategic equity plan that will hurt the very students it is trying to help. I recently met with a student who was angry that she was told to shut up at a student rally, based solely on the amount of pigment in her skin. She did not comply, and was called a racist. I asked her if this bothered her. She said: “No, because I am not racist.” To the faculty, too afraid to speak out: I urge you to walk toward the fire. After all, if this brave student is a bigot, then I guess I am too. They are just words. You will not lose your job, but you might lose your dignity. The tale is about two men trying to save Evergreen. One is an absolute coward (Bridges) and the other is an ultimate hero (Weinstein). Who should be forced to resign? Weinstein reluctantly went on Fox News, because no other news source would pick up his story. His excellent op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal followed. Videos don’t lie, Weinstein’s logic prevailed, and cognitive dissonance set in amongst Evergreen faculty. This was the first time that I found out that those who watch Tucker Carlson are the “alt-right”. I should probably tell my family. Objections were made about whether Weinstein had mischaracterized Day of Absence/Day of Presence as “forcing” white students off campus. He didn’t, but why would this detail negate everything else that Weinstein wrote? When one is confronted with truths that contradict closely held beliefs, the mind begins to make outlandish rationalizations. The faculty email response will someday be used in psychology textbooks as a case study in group thinking. Then our college President saw his opportunity. Evergreen administrators sent out ominous notices, labeling “free speech” advocates and persons who simply do not agree with “official” campus opinion as potentially violent. It was a desperate move, using fear tactics to rally the masses and prevent students from thinking clearly. This morning was the first time that I was actually nervous coming to campus. Not because of threats of white supremacists, but because I was worried that someone on campus would think that I might be one of them. And then we got the alert on campus. I could see the fear in some of our students faces, as I helped escort a student of color to her dormitory. Then I decided to stay on campus for a while. An administrator approached, and asked: “How did we get to this point?” I guess safe spaces can be dangerous places.[/quote] And students who have posted an open letter that they reject the "McCarthyism" taking place. [url]http://www.theolympian.com/news/local/education/article154731364.html[/url] People now show up on the campus to protest the situation. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-jelGZjVUI[/media] [b]Check out the [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/evergreen/]Reddit[/url] to see things develop[/b] You will find that alot of students/former alumni are not pissed because their degrees look like trash now.

None of these events are surprising to me at all. I attended Evergreen for one year before I grew tired and disgusted of the attitudes encouraged by this college. In all essence, during my attendance, it was a honeypot for those seeking an easy degree and deeper entrenching in personal beliefs; all other opinions be damned. I'd go into more detail but it just boils down to disappointment in a system that proclaims a nurturing environment for self-actualization but instead preaches a path to mediocrity, self-aggrandizement, and an ineptitude for dealing with the world as is. These recent actions are the direct result of this methodology. Teaching students that nothing they say is wrong and if anyone questions your ideals they are automatically your enemy results in demonstrations like this.
