We need to remember that the Cultural revolution in China was people like this literally executing scientists, business owners, and even their own people that were not fanatic enough. It has happened before and it can happen again.
I was reading Frank Dikkoter's book, The Tragedy of Liberation, after hearing about, when they go through the villages to work people up with "speak bitterness" campaigns. There was a race to the bottom. To the poorest, most put upon person so you could get that strip of red cloth that identified you as most oppressed and thereby empowered you to be able to torture and murder your neighbors because their level of destitution was slightly less bad than your own. We of course see that today, with people scrambling to claim their place in the victim hierarchy, even if they have to hack off healthy body parts, or take insane chemicals to do it.
@@Rikalonius Great comparison. Personally, this sort of phenomenon continually calls to mind Miller's The Crucible, where social contagion and hysteria are fomented by a few immature and sadistic personalities, then moves to rapidly consume an entire community to very bloody ends.
So very true! I have to admit that I'm both disturbed and dismayed by the number of people walking around who basically seem to assume "Meh....those atrocities from the past could never happen again...not here.....not now....we're just too different, too modern, more evolved." Not only are we basically the same as we've always been.....we've actually had some very recent and rather terrifying examples of just how ready many of our neighbors are when it comes to embracing their inner totalitarian. It seems all some people (far too many IMO) need to put on their brown shirts and start selecting their neighbor's for public re-education is just the slightest bit of moral permission...then that take to it with relish. We are closer to repeating history than we dare admit.
In my experience in the American public education system (17 years in Chicago-area high schools) there is literally *NO* coverage of the Chinese cultural revolution or Communism in China. NONE. It is no surprise at all that modern Americans are so susceptible to this kind of thing, they have no knowledge of its history.
@Jay Bee Yes No wonder that tuitions have risen much faster than any other service or expense. With the current technologies, universities should be able to offer online courses at a fraction of the current price.
Yeah, it's a poor business model. They could learn from their counterparts on the Evangelical right: Management there has convinced the flock to actually *pay* to speak in tongues and weep over their sinfulness.
Its a shame, equity used to mean "a ramp", "hearing aid assist", "voice to text/ viceversa". Things along those lines. Giving people who need a little extra help, that help, to allow them equal footing, but doing so does not disenfranchise others. Eg, everyone can use a ramp, people without hearing aids wouldnt even know of the assistance, and everyone benefits when people can communicate.
@@medadisme It’s worse than that. There’s a simple solution that actually WILL increase minority enrollment: Scholarships tied to academic ability AND financial hardship (those who can’t afford university). That will insure more “minority” students. But it hurts those institutions financially, and it doesn’t foster the racial division & envy that’s so important to the woke leftist. Ginning up hatred is vital to their plans to acquire power.
Wrong, Equity is how the rich get political power by selling to the lazy and uninformed that they just need to put them into power and they will take care of them. Then throw in the media being part of your group by kickbacks and brainwashing in Universities as a means to take power and you have our current environment. Equity is a tool of the powerful to keep power.

Hair cuts...try being an individual on that one...in fact, my guess is you want everyone to have a certain haircut when you are at a bank, hospital, church, etc...clean or dirty? Stealing or buying? The attempt to say these are "moral" arguments, rather than group think is besides the point. The 'idea' of a disease that has a much higher mortality rate than 'normal'...does concern people...was there an over reaction, as it turns out yes, absolutely...yet the death rate was much higher than a normal flu, so everyone was right and wrong for different reasons...and some were taking some parasite medicine for horses and cattle? Im not saying you are wrong about individuality and crowd mentality, but if you are assuming one is right and the other is wrong...I am then saying you are wrong. Some times the group or individual is right and sometimes they are wrong.
@markstewart4501 I was talking about the video, specifically. However, it appears that you had a lot to say. Group think is an insecurity problem. Young children (0-3) do not participate in group think, they only mimic the important people in their lives and avoid most others. Security is in the parents. The elderly also rarely join group think. There is an age where most just don't care what other people think. It is those in-between that desire to fit in with society that are susceptible to group think. One of the reasons that the old stop caring is that they recognize that 95% of everything is based on lies and manipulation and most people are wrong most of the time. Truly, there are no correct options most of the time. By the way, I am old enough that the dewormer that you mentioned was given to all our goats and dogs, and all of us kids on an annual basis.

I’ve watched the clips over and over. What I see is probably half the people in the canoe looked VERY uncomfortable, and alone. I’d even go as far to say “the majority “ looked like they were just going along with in, probably thinking they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t. That was FULL ON CRAZY ! Thanks so much for sharing.
@@Daffy-mg8ls Don't know that they were easily brainwashed. The whole thing seemed designed to bully people into conformity, likely with real penalties for not falling into line.

Every hipster kid growing up in the PNW in the 90s and 2000s knew that Evergreen was a joke and also "super cool" because they "don't do grades". They were a mess for decades. It was no surprise when this happened, I watched it live.
I had a friend who wanted to go there years ago (early 00s). At the time I had no idea it was like this, but then I didn't know much about politics back then.
2:55 "There was a very kind of Authoritarian, 'if you're not for this you are against us.'" That _for us/against us_ mindset is one of the hallmarks of a cult.
Giving the "students" of Evergreen any validation of any kind is wrong. What they did to their campus and the way they treated faculty and other students who were not part of their "movement" was criminal.
They should have been given an opportunity to debate. To put their opinions forward reasonably and rationally but instead they chose abuse. If they had been given that opportunity so many people would have seen there is very little that is factual about their claims. For university students this level of lack of critical thinking is scary. These are meant to be the educated in society
I’m still so confused as to what was happening at Evergreen and what caused it ..? And is that ideology still present these days? I’m always confused by the end goal of equity and how to achieve it
@@brianmeen2158 Marxist religious dogma is dominant in every aspect of higher education.

The Evergreen canoe footage is probably the most surreal and disturbing thing I've ever seen. It's worthwhile to watch Benjamin Boyce's videos on the entire canoe equity meeting. It's pretty cringy so be prepared!
These administrators are being bullied and coerced into compliance. This is such a great example of the danger of stifling dissent and debate. The officials of this college simply relinquished their obligation to uphold academic integrity and freedom of thought to a gang of bullies.
Together is together. Together = strong. Together we can construct buildings, together we can speak in unison, together we can flush toilets. Individual ideas is wrong, individual professions is wrong, hence individual thought is wrong. You are wrong, we are right. We. Weeeee.
The administration fell to their knees faster than I would have thought possible. No people have courage anymore. Just laugh at these Woke fools and walk away with anyone else who feels sickened by this degradation of humans.
I remember the 1960's. We saw this stuff all of the time. Until it turned into a drug filled rage and new diseases in the 1970's. Your University got the rage without the crazed drugs or obvious disease. CONGRADULATIONS!
*@buckeyeshine* I grew up poor on a farm in a rural area to parents who never finished high school. Both smoked cigarettes and pot my whole childhood and my dad was an alcoholic too. I have two older brothers, both dropouts, one has been in jail most of his life. I only completed the 8th grade myself. Though I happen to win the genetic lottery so despite the odds against me I managed to retire at age 32 based on the strength of my mind (together with a fanatic work-ethic). Besides learning to read and write and do basic maths, public school does very little education. The vast majority of the time spent in public schools is (implicitly) focused on indoctrination (the teachers generally mean well - they have no idea - they’re just a cog in the machine). False history lessons, false civics teachings, moral relativism, blind obedience to authority, and now social justice and environmental activism. It’s deeply harmful stuff. Someone with a very high IQ can still be brainwashed like anyone else. If you get to work on them at a very young age you can break their epistemology and ethics through a gradual conditioning process. Governments know this. Listen to this delightful quote: “There’s another word for master narratives, it’s called history. Basically, every country creates their own narrative story. And, you know, my old job at the state department is what people used to joke as the chief propagandists job. We haven’t talked about propaganda. Propaganda - I’m not against propaganda, every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population, and I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful.” -former Editor at Time Magazine Richard Stengel, at a CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) event. Published May 3rd 2018 on the CFR RUclips channel titled “Political Disruptions: Combating Disinformation and Fake News” ruclips.net/video/wu64HP-PL40/видео.htmlh15m20s I know he’s telling the truth in that quote because I’ve now studied history a fair bit and it turns out most the stuff I learned about history from public school and pop culture was propaganda. It’s not an accident that we are all taught to believe preposterous things about government and economics (among other areas): there are people like Mr. Stengel to thank for all the lies about presidents, wars, The Federal Reserve, and on and on and on. We’re easier to control when we’re ignorant and confused and divided. Best not to think too hard about ethical consistency. Best not to think too hard about ethics. Best not to think too hard. Best not to think: send your kids to public school and we’ll have them mindlessly chanting nationalistic brainwashing while saluting creepily before they can even write - we have our priorities straight! You are absolutely right that many very smart people rarely question authority. That’s the power of indoctrination together with peer pressure. Once false frameworks are built into the structure of your mind it’s VERY hard to fix. Think about Marxist professors: I bet a lot of them have high IQs, yet they’re trapped in a secular religion few of them escape, despite the fact that it’s is easily debunked by rational arguments. The reason those rational arguments don’t succeed against them are several, including: 1. Cognitive dissonance provokes defensiveness. 2. The arguments depend on changing their existing (faulty) low-level assumptions. These assumptions are so interconnected with how they see the world and their whole life experience. Changing these assumptions requires more epistemic humility than most people can muster. You can get trapped in a “plausibility structure” where ideas sufficiently outside your bubble are never reachable because it requires suspending disbelief and questioning too many things at once. 3. Changing your mind on something important is very hard if your friends and coworkers all believe the same thing. A lot of very smart people have a bias toward “scientism” which gives them false confidence in central planning and the “scientific” management of society (technocracy). This implies authoritarian rule by “experts” like them. Since they implicitly believe this would be a great thing for everyone they really do believe in obeying authority more or less blindly (though they don’t usually realize it, and would never say that). One of public schools’ main functions is to make you easier to govern, and this is achieved by making you obedient to “authorities” of the status quo. It works incredibly well. If you haven’t seen the Milgram Experiments check it out. Cheers!
*@N* I remember the first time I watched it, I got chills. I already knew most of what he had to say by then, but it really shook me to see it was recorded so long ago.... then I went digging deeper into the history of public schools, and boy did it explain a lot! Reading through documents from the 1930s you can see plans being gradually rolled out (it goes back even further, of course), minor course corrections in subsequent generations, newer variations on the same schemes, etc, in an unbroken chain of events that leads to the horrors of today. Collectivism underlies a great deal of the problem.
Reminds me of Bidens quote “poor kids are just as smart and bright as white kids!” lol… WOW. I used to be a leftists…. The democratic voting block are the BIGGEST racists I’ve EVER known.
These type of meetings take place all over corporate America. I’ve done so many moronic events that I just tune out and think my own thoughts just like 90% of everyone else.
Evergreen needs to put their money were their mouth is. Do a plane scene instead of canoe with a real plane on a runway. Then let the pilot be chosen on the grounds of equity not qualification.
They don't care about equal opportunity (i.e. equality), equal treatment. They care about equal outcomes, regardless of merit, commitment, skill or ability (i.e. equity). Since equity cannot be achieved by lifting everybody up to the same level; it can only be achieved by cutting everybody down to the lowest common denominator. One way to demonstrate this to students: tell them that they'll all get the same mark. Everybody's scores for the test/assignment/semester will be totalled and averaged, and everybody will get an equal proportion of the outcome. Then see how they react. See how they perform. See who works and who doesn't. When it comes down to it, most people don't want equity. They want equality instead. It is a Universal Liberal principle that people should have fair and equal opportunities, but that after this, they have individual responsibility and accountability.
As individuals Human Beings are not equal. We do not start equal. All of us have different physical, intellectual and artistic levels of ability. It is impossible to have equal outcomes. That does not mean that we shouldn't treat the least of us any less equally than the best of us in a legal sense. Equity in this case was not about equal outcomes. It was about power and revenge for perceived wrongs.
@@biggi3st3v3that's funny, I don't remember the original comment saying anything about your ability to watch it, just about it being shown publicly in your country. Maybe try to keep up, or clarify what you mean if you are talking about it being available in your area.

Bit late for a “case study” … this ideology in an extreme form (such as this) is already widespread, fully implemented and endorsed throughout all levels of society here in the UK. Just come and visit any school, enterprise level corporation, entertainment provider, government organisation or building … it’s ubiquitous and unquestioned
This film was from 2019. At that time, this ideology was still somewhat closeted in the US on college campuses. It burst out of the closet and into the mainstream here in 2020 after the George Floyd killing.
These are lost souls. They have no direction in life. They're suffering. They do this in an attempt to stop the suffering. They suffer because they're weak minded and lack emotional fortitude. They become activists because they feel it lessens their guilt and shame.
4:18 is when it switches over to like a grade school lesson where everyones vibe is just reiterating what the previous kid said because they all know its what gets an A.
One thing is obvious, at least some of those asking permission to get on the Canoe lacked sincerity.But what they were doing is desperately trying to find the right approved words to say. That is far more dangerous than anyone who is willingly getting on that insidious canoe.
So the western version of a struggle session. And these teachers deserve every bit of the ridicule for not knowing the Living Nightmare delivered upon the urbane, middle class and academics in China from ‘66 to ‘76, and recognizing it for what it was. Truly pathetic.
@@rogerdodger1790 That's because it wasn't "real" Socialism. If they were running things, it would be real Socialism and there would be paradise. It's never worked before but it would work if they were running it. That's literally the delusion they believe.

The canoe scene reminds me of that time when a friend of mine tried to recruit me into a cult/sect. She invited me to attend one of their meetings. I didn't want to be rude and I was a bit curious so I accepted. Oh boy... It was surreal, weird and eerie. There I was listening to people talking nonsense and doing crazy stuff as if it was perfectly normal... I thought I was the only sane person there for a moment but in the eyes of a few of the other people there I could see that they knew that this was madness. They knew that this was madness but they didn't want to become outcast or lose their friends or relatives that truly believed in all that crap. When that friend asked what I thought about that I said it definitely wasn't for me. She said oh OK and moved on. It didn't bother me to remain friends with her even after that, overall she was a cool chick, but we lost contact with each other in time. Later I heard that she cut contact with me because her cult leader told her that I was too risky for her because I could lead her off the track of their cult...
This is definitely cult like behavior, with the inmates running the asylum. There were other incidents happening about the same time at Evergreen that included students basically holding school administrators hostage. The Dean had to ask the student hostage takers for permission to use the restroom, and even them he was only permitted to do so under student guard.
@@flyoverkid55 well i mean some point to the US Frankfurt institute after WWII so... If that's where it started brewing it's been in the works a long time.
What I find most shocking with things like this is the utter cowardice of so many of the faculty, or that so many didn’t see a problem begging for permission to get onboard with something that they didn’t even know where it was going.
Lol. Seriously looks like some kind of employee cooperation seminar, or self-help guru lecture,b or maybe a religious affirmation gathering. I would have been like, "hey, I think I'm just going to swim to shore. Y'all have fun and good luck with your weird canoe trip."
I think it's safe to assume that by this point any facility members that had the moral wherewithal to speak up against the stupid, would have already left for greener pastures.
It’s the human proclivity to create moral frameworks and then to force others to adopt them that leads to Marxist or collectivist ideas, especially where any dissent is labeled as evil.
There’s nothing wrong with moral frameworks in and of themselves. The most basic of them are enforced by law in every culture throughout history and without them there would be anarchy and chaos. Parsing out truth involves discussing morality ~ because moral relativism doesn’t actually work. Here we have self-righteous overlords with a thimble of thought about the beliefs they hold. This is why dialogue with their opponents is shut down. Their willingness to trample others freedoms is the problem, and terrible logic.
@@citetezindeed sin involves personal failures such as lying, cheating, abusing and using others. Sin can involve disordered loves, like dishonoring parents or God. Some of these should be reined in by law and others should certainly not. You can believe something is wrong while defending the freedom of choice to do it. The debate about the right invading the ‘rights’ of others involve murder (abortion) and keeping the left woke agenda away from our children. Other than that do as you please to your own detriment.
Jim Jones was just a Marxist and his cult was a simple Communist commune of atheists who mocked religion in meetings and tore up Bibles. It’s a travesty of misinformation that people don’t know that and think that Jones was a spiritual leader.
I really feel bad for these university administrators. Notice how their sentences kept ending with a questioning tone as if asking, "Did I do it right? Did I grovel enough?"
Look no further than this: “Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” - Friederich Nietzsche
They're essentially crying about the world not being fair, and no amount of crying is going to fix that. You can do everything right and get struck by lightning, you can be a terrible person and get rich and live a long happy life. The world is not fair and just, it can be cruel and unforgiving and there is no way to change that. So it's best to just accept that and do your best, anything else is a fool's errand.
I taught in Washington for 34 years. Anytime we had a teacher candidate from Evergreen we’d just cringe because the psycho babble they would preach was scary to listen to. Virtually no one from evergreen is taken seriously
True. Everyone in the state of Washington knows this college is a nothing burger. The fact these people are taking them seriously enough to even make this video is equally as ridiculous.
Benjamin Boyce's coverage of Evergreen was one of the most fascinating but unsettling things I'd ever seen. I started watching it thinking I'd watch 2 -3 episodes, just to see what was going on. (It had come across my RUclips feed.) It ended up being my evening routine for months to watch an episode while I cooked dinner. I ended up watching all of his videos. Haha. Edited to fix a typo.
At the age of 13, i moved to the US. I quickly found out that the public schools in the States were much behind European education systems. In one of my classrooms, a teacher put a formula on the board. He came up with ridiculous proof for it, even though it was utterly obviously impossible. Every kid in the class just went along with it. I was the only one who stood my ground. The teacher had never had any student stand up and not just let the brainwashing work. I knew then, at that young age, that most people are weak sheep that do not use critical thinking and problem solving. They are more interested in fitting in. Scary.
It was not always like this.Because of DEI, we have to pretend that the stupid kids are smart and the smart kids are privileged. They used to seperate kids according to academics but this was deemed to be racist.
Yeah, Europe is so ahead. lol Germany France and the UK are literally being turned into authoritarian dictatorships as we speak. Islam is becoming their masters.
This erratic and irrational behavior is fostered and rewarded until large groups of violent doctrinaire can be weaponized and set loose on a political opponent.
For me, the most disturbing part of this canoe video is how emotional the staff member talking at 4:40 is. Seems like he is being reluctantly presurred into going along with the group or is grappling with some sort or moral internal conflict...
If you are white (men in particular), you are basically forced to constantly issue public apologies to prove your loyalty to the people enforcing new and bizarre rules on "equity."
You can tell that guy 'running the show' took a long while that morning admiring himself in the mirror. I can hear him asking his boyfriend which strand of oversized 'ethnic' beads looked best with that blazer and t-shirt ensemble. Probably changed glasses half a dozen times, too. You can often tell the virtue signalling officious woke by their ridiculous affectations and calculated 'casualness'.
Or if you are going to school. Just decide what trade you want to go to school for. Then start your own HVAC, electrical, welding etc business. Even the STEM departments of universities are getting infected by this crap now. Thankfully some recent Supreme Court decisions are taking the wind out of some aspects. A meritocracy cannot be turned into an equity based system. It has been pointed out that using affirmative action or other equity based admission based systems while attempting to level the playing field do not always help the individuals who benefit. If someone is admitted to MIT through affirmative action and can not handle the course load and has to drop out and transfer to another frankly less strenuous institution how has that person been helped. And if the admissions were completely merit based you know qualified candidates were passed over.
Budweiser, Harley-Davidson and how many more. The first responsibility of a company is to earn enough to stay in business. Sometimes that doesn't happen due to market forces or poor decisions. But going woke if it doesn't fit with your core customer base is just stupid.
@4:54 - the lumpen blonde lady, I don't think it advisable to put her at either end, she needs to be in the middle if the grievance canon has any chance of getting to reparations bay.
Look at the expressions of piousness and smugness by the people watching along as their coworkers grasp for the "proper" words during the Canoe ride into the turbulence of insanity
@LuckysLair - I noticed that too. You're spot-on - "piousness and smugness". I've seen a term used to describe this - "smugnorant". People who smugly believe that they know everything when in fact they know NOTHING.
The leaders really love hearing themselves talk. This little dude never had so much power. The dopamine hit of feeling like you’re doing something powerful and historic and righteous is palpable. Too bad it’s saccharine with no substance.
Imagine inverting the equity canoe journey to the long house and then deploying this at the people that have stitched themselves to the ritual body of the canoe. Using their attack that will inevitably come as a vector to enter the body and using the attacker as the entry point. Bringing the light of truth to these dark places, I think you understand. We need to get the golden ball out from the depths and get out of the water before the monsters follow us up to the surface. Help me get out of the water.

Wrong, Equity is how the rich get political power by selling to the lazy and uninformed that they just need to put them into power and they will take care of them. Then throw in the media being part of your group by kickbacks and brainwashing in Universities as a means to take power and you have our current environment. Equity is a tool of the powerful to keep power.

Are you talking about Religion? or other versions of it?
@@pez9750 Sure. I see it everyday with politics as well...before, during, and after.
To maybe press an observation, but in as much "every man is his own island"...he does ALSO realize there is NO island, right?
Individuality really does has its limits...the most obvious, 'everyone eats by putting food in their mouth', duh, right? Hair cuts...try being an individual on that one...in fact, my guess is you want everyone to have a certain haircut when you are at a bank, hospital, church, etc...clean or dirty? Stealing or buying? The attempt to say these are "moral" arguments, rather than group think is besides the point.
The 'idea' of a disease that has a much higher mortality rate than 'normal'...does concern people...was there an over reaction, as it turns out yes, absolutely...yet the death rate was much higher than a normal flu, so everyone was right and wrong for different reasons...and some were taking some parasite medicine for horses and cattle?
Im not saying you are wrong about individuality and crowd mentality, but if you are assuming one is right and the other is wrong...I am then saying you are wrong. Some times the group or individual is right and sometimes they are wrong.
@markstewart4501 I was talking about the video, specifically. However, it appears that you had a lot to say.
Group think is an insecurity problem. Young children (0-3) do not participate in group think, they only mimic the important people in their lives and avoid most others. Security is in the parents. The elderly also rarely join group think. There is an age where most just don't care what other people think. It is those in-between that desire to fit in with society that are susceptible to group think. One of the reasons that the old stop caring is that they recognize that 95% of everything is based on lies and manipulation and most people are wrong most of the time. Truly, there are no correct options most of the time.
By the way, I am old enough that the dewormer that you mentioned was given to all our goats and dogs, and all of us kids on an annual basis. Only the dose changed based on body weight.

Giving the "students" of Evergreen any validation of any kind is wrong. What they did to their campus and the way they treated faculty and other students who were not part of their "movement" was criminal.
They should have been given an opportunity to debate. To put their opinions forward reasonably and rationally but instead they chose abuse. If they had been given that opportunity so many people would have seen there is very little that is factual about their claims. For university students this level of lack of critical thinking is scary. These are meant to be the educated in society
“Debate” is a function of white supremacy. Duh.

This is what happens when you tell stupid kids they are just as intelligent as smart kids their whole lives.
*@buckeyeshine* I grew up poor on a farm in a rural area to parents who never finished high school. Both smoked cigarettes and pot my whole childhood and my dad was an alcoholic too. I have two older brothers, both dropouts, one has been in jail most of his life. I only completed the 8th grade myself. Though I happen to win the genetic lottery so despite the odds against me I managed to retire at age 32 based on the strength of my mind (together with a fanatic work-ethic). Besides learning to read and write and do basic maths, public school does very little education. The vast majority of the time spent in public schools is (implicitly) focused on indoctrination (the teachers generally mean well - they have no idea - they’re just a cog in the machine). False history lessons, false civics teachings, moral relativism, blind obedience to authority, and now social justice and environmental activism. It’s deeply harmful stuff. Someone with a very high IQ can still be brainwashed like anyone else. If you get to work on them at a very young age you can break their epistemology and ethics through a gradual conditioning process. Governments know this. Listen to this delightful quote:
“There’s another word for master narratives, it’s called history. Basically, every country creates their own narrative story. And, you know, my old job at the state department is what people used to joke as the chief propagandists job. We haven’t talked about propaganda. Propaganda - I’m not against propaganda, every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population, and I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful.” -former Editor at Time Magazine Richard Stengel, at a CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) event. Published May 3rd 2018 on the CFR RUclips channel titled “Political Disruptions: Combating Disinformation and Fake News”
ruclips.net/video/wu64HP-PL40/видео.htmlh15m20s
I know he’s telling the truth in that quote because I’ve now studied history a fair bit and it turns out most the stuff I learned about history from public school and pop culture was propaganda. It’s not an accident that we are all taught to believe preposterous things about government and economics (among other areas): there are people like Mr. Stengel to thank for all the lies about presidents, wars, The Federal Reserve, and on and on and on.
We’re easier to control when we’re ignorant and confused and divided. Best not to think too hard about ethical consistency. Best not to think too hard about ethics. Best not to think too hard. Best not to think: send your kids to public school and we’ll have them mindlessly chanting nationalistic brainwashing while saluting creepily before they can even write - we have our priorities straight!
You are absolutely right that many very smart people rarely question authority. That’s the power of indoctrination together with peer pressure. Once false frameworks are built into the structure of your mind it’s VERY hard to fix. Think about Marxist professors: I bet a lot of them have high IQs, yet they’re trapped in a secular religion few of them escape, despite the fact that it’s is easily debunked by rational arguments. The reason those rational arguments don’t succeed against them are several, including:
1. Cognitive dissonance provokes defensiveness.
2. The arguments depend on changing their existing (faulty) low-level assumptions. These assumptions are so interconnected with how they see the world and their whole life experience. Changing these assumptions requires more epistemic humility than most people can muster. You can get trapped in a “plausibility structure” where ideas sufficiently outside your bubble are never reachable because it requires suspending disbelief and questioning too many things at once.
3. Changing your mind on something important is very hard if your friends and coworkers all believe the same thing.
A lot of very smart people have a bias toward “scientism” which gives them false confidence in central planning and the “scientific” management of society (technocracy). This implies authoritarian rule by “experts” like them. Since they implicitly believe this would be a great thing for everyone they really do believe in obeying authority more or less blindly (though they don’t usually realize it, and would never say that). One of public schools’ main functions is to make you easier to govern, and this is achieved by making you obedient to “authorities” of the status quo. It works incredibly well. If you haven’t seen the Milgram Experiments check it out.
Cheers!
*@N* I remember the first time I watched it, I got chills. I already knew most of what he had to say by then, but it really shook me to see it was recorded so long ago.... then I went digging deeper into the history of public schools, and boy did it explain a lot! Reading through documents from the 1930s you can see plans being gradually rolled out (it goes back even further, of course), minor course corrections in subsequent generations, newer variations on the same schemes, etc, in an unbroken chain of events that leads to the horrors of today. Collectivism underlies a great deal of the problem.

Evergreen needs to put their money were their mouth is. Do a plane scene instead of canoe with a real plane on a runway. Then let the pilot be chosen on the grounds of equity not qualification.
Best comment
When are they gonna learn that equity is the enemy of equal opportunity.
They don't care about equal opportunity (i.e. equality), equal treatment. They care about equal outcomes, regardless of merit, commitment, skill or ability (i.e. equity). Since equity cannot be achieved by lifting everybody up to the same level; it can only be achieved by cutting everybody down to the lowest common denominator.
One way to demonstrate this to students: tell them that they'll all get the same mark. Everybody's scores for the test/assignment/semester will be totalled and averaged, and everybody will get an equal proportion of the outcome. Then see how they react. See how they perform. See who works and who doesn't. When it comes down to it, most people don't want equity. They want equality instead.
It is a Universal Liberal principle that people should have fair and equal opportunities, but that after this, they have individual responsibility and accountability.
@@TagSpamCoptrue
Power grab under the guise of equality. This is how liars operate.
As individuals Human Beings are not equal. We do not start equal. All of us have different physical, intellectual and artistic levels of ability. It is impossible to have equal outcomes. That does not mean that we shouldn't treat the least of us any less equally than the best of us in a legal sense. Equity in this case was not about equal outcomes. It was about power and revenge for perceived wrongs.

I’ve heard of evergreen being far left ideologically captured but never heard of the canoe. It’s frightening.
The canoe scene reminds me of that time when a friend of mine tried to recruit me into a cult/sect.
She invited me to attend one of their meetings. I didn't want to be rude and I was a bit curious so I accepted.
Oh boy... It was surreal, weird and eerie. There I was listening to people talking nonsense and doing crazy stuff as if it was perfectly normal...
I thought I was the only sane person there for a moment but in the eyes of a few of the other people there I could see that they knew that this was madness. They knew that this was madness but they didn't want to become outcast or lose their friends or relatives that truly believed in all that crap.
When that friend asked what I thought about that I said it definitely wasn't for me. She said oh OK and moved on. It didn't bother me to remain friends with her even after that, overall she was a cool chick, but we lost contact with each other in time. Later I heard that she cut contact with me because her cult leader told her that I was too risky for her because I could lead her off the track of their cult...
This is definitely cult like behavior, with the inmates running the asylum. There were other incidents happening about the same time at Evergreen that included students basically holding school administrators hostage. The Dean had to ask the student hostage takers for permission to use the restroom, and even them he was only permitted to do so under student guard.
That just sounds like going to church. Churchgoers do all sorts of weird sh1t and then just go home afterwards. And we think it's all normal ! 😂

There’s nothing wrong with moral frameworks in and of themselves. The most basic of them are enforced by law in every culture throughout history and without them there would be anarchy and chaos. Parsing out truth involves discussing morality ~ because moral relativism doesn’t actually work.

At the age of 13, i moved to the US. I quickly found out that the public schools in the States were much behind European education systems.
In one of my classrooms, a teacher put a formula on the board.
He came up with ridiculous proof for it, even though it was utterly obviously impossible.
Every kid in the class just went along with it.
I was the only one who stood my ground.
The teacher had never had any student stand up and not just let the brainwashing work.
I knew then, at that young age, that most people are weak sheep that do not use critical thinking and problem solving. They are more interested in fitting in.
Scary.
It was not always like this.Because of DEI, we have to pretend that the stupid kids are smart and the smart kids are privileged. They used to seperate kids according to academics but this was deemed to be racist.
Welcome to America-a pathetic joke of a nation it has become and has been for a long time now.
They're deliberately not taught how to think.

Yeah, Europe is so ahead. lol Germany France and the UK are literally being turned into authoritarian dictatorships as we speak. Islam is becoming their masters.
This erratic and irrational behavior is fostered and rewarded until large groups of violent doctrinaire can be weaponized and set loose on a political opponent.
I’m not in the canoe, hope it sinks
As a Cuban immigrant, this looked horrifying.
These people humiliated themselves. They are delusional.
For me, the most disturbing part of this canoe video is how emotional the staff member talking at 4:40 is. Seems like he is being reluctantly presurred into going along with the group or is grappling with some sort or moral internal conflict...
If you are white (men in particular), you are basically forced to constantly issue public apologies to prove your loyalty to the people enforcing new and bizarre rules on "equity."
It seems like a form of brainwashing intimidation tactics, that’s my take.
Mao-era struggle sessions
I’m 29 seconds into the canoe scene and I want to puke. No amount of money is worth this.
We all just got to witness mass hysteria
You can tell that guy 'running the show' took a long while that morning admiring himself in the mirror. I can hear him asking his boyfriend which strand of oversized 'ethnic' beads looked best with that blazer and t-shirt ensemble. Probably changed glasses half a dozen times, too. You can often tell the virtue signalling officious woke by their ridiculous affectations and calculated 'casualness'.
This is a cult meeting... it's literally the same kind of shit goes on in cults and religious societies.
Here’s a good reason to avoid paying for college. Find a way to start your own business and avoid college altogether
Or if you are going to school. Just decide what trade you want to go to school for. Then start your own HVAC, electrical, welding etc business. Even the STEM departments of universities are getting infected by this crap now. Thankfully some recent Supreme Court decisions are taking the wind out of some aspects. A meritocracy cannot be turned into an equity based system. It has been pointed out that using affirmative action or other equity based admission based systems while attempting to level the playing field do not always help the individuals who benefit. If someone is admitted to MIT through affirmative action and can not handle the course load and has to drop out and transfer to another frankly less strenuous institution how has that person been helped. And if the admissions were completely merit based you know qualified candidates were passed over.
There used to be another path into the trades. They were called apprenticeships. But the Technical Schools have largely replaced them
Facts. You will never make real money as a salaryman.
Can you imagine paying for your child to go to Evergreen?
Wow...insanity, cowardice, and delusion all in one package. It's all working in the service of evil.
They look totally lost, and they are, just along for the ride.
Disney is a great example of DEI ruining a company.
Budweiser, Harley-Davidson and how many more. The first responsibility of a company is to earn enough to stay in business. Sometimes that doesn't happen due to market forces or poor decisions. But going woke if it doesn't fit with your core customer base is just stupid.
I’d be the one who says I’m not interested in boarding this canoe. After I put in my resignation papers of course
No need to put in a resignation... let them fire you and then sue!
@4:54 - the lumpen blonde lady, I don't think it advisable to put her at either end, she needs to be in the middle if the grievance canon has any chance of getting to reparations bay.
Lol😂😂😂😂 She contributes ballast to the endeavour.
Imagine the panic in their soft little hearts
James Lindsey and Peter Boghossian exposing these fools was glorious and hilarious.
This is really freaking disturbing.
Evergreen fascinates me lol every so often I rewatch all of the footage.
Look at the expressions of piousness and smugness by the people watching along as their coworkers grasp for the "proper" words during the Canoe ride into the turbulence of insanity
@LuckysLair - I noticed that too. You're spot-on - "piousness and smugness".
I've seen a term used to describe this - "smugnorant". People who smugly believe that they know everything when in fact they know NOTHING.
The leaders really love hearing themselves talk. This little dude never had so much power. The dopamine hit of feeling like you’re doing something powerful and historic and righteous is palpable. Too bad it’s saccharine with no substance.
This was one of the eye-opening moments for me.
Imagine inverting the equity canoe journey to the long house and then deploying this at the people that have stitched themselves to the ritual body of the canoe. Using their attack that will inevitably come as a vector to enter the body and using the attacker as the entry point. Bringing the light of truth to these dark places, I think you understand. We need to get the golden ball out from the depths and get out of the water before the monsters follow us up to the surface. Help me get out of the water.
Evergreen college has been a joke for Decades! It was a joke when I was in school in 1976..
This is the first time I have heard/seen clips of the "Canoe scene".
My mind jumped to Jim Jones & Jonestown.
Weaponized empathy.
Over the years canines of different breeds have attempted to place their dominance over my lower leg and/or ankle
