Bret Weinstein: SJWs Are ‘Taking Over More And More Territory’ On College Campuses

Recently there was a very interesting case in Canada where a teaching assistant named Lindsay Shepherd at Laurier University was forced to endure hours of interrogation because she dared show a section of video from a mainstream TV debate between Jordan Peterson and two SJW professors.

She was smart enough to secretly record the interrogation and there is audio. The audio is very instructive. On several occasions her interrogator made outlandish claims against Peterson to see if she would bite. But either because she knew very little about Peterson or she was very smart, she refused to take the bait.

I am certain that if she had tried to defend Peterson, rather than focusing on her right to show videos, that she would have been labeled a member of the alt-Right and that all of her opinions could be ignored.

I think the basic program is this:

1) We all agree that freedom of speech is great but not if it incites violence or is combined with violent acts
2) But any and all speech right of Marxist speech is inherently violent and constitutes a violent act
4) Therefore so long as you don't say anything to the right of Marxism you can say anything you wish.

They are working on a close a bunch of colleges across America plan. People don’t want to be told by the mentally ill that they should be dead because of their skin color.
No students with money attending = disaster for those with cushy do nothing jobs.

Good article. Weinstein has got the SJWs pegged. He understands them like a pathologist understands a viral strain. In fact, the way the SJW arguments have evolved through the generations to be highly effective (in a campus environment anyways) really does bring to mind the virus analogy. The SJWs have figured out how to stymie the natural defenses and are now taking over the host.

This is Dawkins' original idea of the meme, introduced in Chapter 11 of THE SELFISH GENE ( all caps on the cover, ) Memes: the new replicators ( also original typography. )

He even gives an account of his coinage.
