The Left Is Eating Itself at Evergreen State College

If you are paying attention to college campus culture these days, you have probably noticed the heightened level of absurdity pushed by Social Justice Warriors. This week, the SJWs took it to a new level of idiocy by going after Bret Weinstein, a lifelong champion of progressive values. The borderline violent mob of immature malcontents had no interest in rationally discussing their grievances with Weinstein. If they had, they might have learned that Weinstein is not their enemy.

The word “irrational” can’t even begin to describe the mood of this SJW mob. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to imagine what is going through their minds as they berate an innocent man. They surrounded Weinstein on campus, started screaming at him, labeled him a racist and insisted that he resign.

It all started over a disagreement about Evergreen State College’s annual Day of Absence. The Day of Absence is a day where white people are asked to not come to campus so people of color can reflect on and discuss race relations in America. The Day of Absence sounds crazy to people who believe in Martin Luther King Jr’s sentiments, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” But hey, this is modern leftism, and modern leftism has gone off the rails.

"The Day of Absence is a day where white people are asked to not come to campus so people of color can reflect on and discuss race relations in America."

No. This is called segregation. It is illegal and contrary to the American way of life. If one were to "discuss race relations", would it not follow that ALL races should be present for the discussion?

Evergreen is a school that lacks common sense and GRADES. That’s right. There are no grades.

Revolutions eat their own first, ask Robespierre.

For some reason I’m having trouble working up sympathy for the abettor and enabler Weinstein.

“Evergreen State is alma mater of Rachael Corrie aka ST PANCAKE”

All at once, the clouds are parted...

This behavior reminds me of the Cultural Revolution in Mao’s China. Those insufficiently pure are eliminated one by one.

Poor old Weinstein has been tossed out of his political home. He’s an exile. What will he do?

Seems to me the Left does more to alienate people than it does to bring folks to their cause. I expect them to purge themselves out of existence.

[Secret Agent Man]

We can encourage them to destroy themselves.

Hollow points and a tomahawk would slow them down some.

Well, that is not surprising as they have created a generation of purely self-interested, narcissistic, irreligious and infantile bastards.

Of course they will gladly turn on "one of their own" as they do not recognize a single group responsibility such as being an American.

They are in a virtue-signaling fueled twitter war and their only concern is promoting themselves as the ultimate proglib commrat.

I dunno, Matt Groening's entertained me a time or two. And entertained a lot of other people by creating The Simpsons. Entertaining people may not be a significant contribution, but it's a worthy one, IMHO. That said, the fact that most graduates of Evergreen go on to work for the government at various levels does not speak well of it.

Evergreen State is Rachel Corrie’s alma mater. Sounds like it’s to the left of Berkley....
