The New Brownshirts
By Mitch Berg
It’s impossible to watch this seven minute video about the descent of Evergreen State University into Orwellian lunacy and not ponder the idea of rebooting this entire country, preferably by “letting” the coasts become their own little insane asylums.
As for me? The world of business needs to institute a system of background checks to weed any child who’s ever been involved in one of these groups out of the hiring process, or public life, for the rest of their lives.
Side note: for a liberal, Bret Weinstein has cast-iron balls.

They need to bring out the shirts with the long sleeves that fasten in back. Those students are crazy. And that college president could not be more of feckless.

Back in the 1960s, at least one prospective employer for my dad put him up in a hotel room with full bar–my dad thought it was neat and was going to try some, but when he called my grandmother, she warned him that if he drank very much, the company would infer he was a drunk and not hire him. I am guessing you could do similar things with this kind of hippies. Leave some Trump literature in the room as if it had been just left there, and if it gets totally torn up, you’ve got your occupy protester.
But really, you’ve got a wonderful screen for a lot of these guys already; the names of their college majors.

First, most liberals have more than enough “balls”, we stand up for little people when it’s not popular, ya’ know, like Muslims, or blacks, or Hispanics…not just the “little” people we want to claim (white males who actually have most of the power).
Second, pretty high irony to hear you complain about Brownshirts considering you were fine with “W” putting people in jail without charge and seemingly don’t complain about Trumps attacks upon freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but I’ll take you at your word that you care. So, when should I expect your attack upon Trump for fatuously claiming things like challenging his comments about Russia’s involvement in election tampering are fake news? He’s the king of fake news – questioning it isn’t a 4th estate out of control, it’s a 4th estate doing what it should and you should applaud it.
And then there’s this, you seriously think we should ban people from “life”, let alone jobs, because they have a political opinion with which you don’t agree? What was that about Brownshirts again?
On a side note, President Superman has a serious issue on his hands with the Russians, I’m sure really soon now we’ll all be so tired of winning we’ll want to lose. Not sure what we’re going to do with the Russians but I’m guessing they have something on Trump which is why he’s keeping so silent.

I wonder how many companies actually perform a full social media scan as part of a background check? I know that if I owned a company, I would have my HR people do so.

My desire to throat punch the president was strong. How did he ever get to a position of responsibility?
Even when we hire for minimum wage jobs, there’s a quick social media check. Not to see if there are dissenting opinions, but if there are inflammatory opinions either way.

Hi BossHoss429,
The number is about 60% and climbing. Heard it on the radio this morning.

One big problem for Evergreen, in my opinion, is letting these foul-mouthed little brats call their professors and president by their first names. If that’s a policy at Evergreen, then it’s just another nail in the PC coffin they seem to have built themselves– it shows a lack of respect that probably started with a failure to parent the little brown-shirts properly. When I was in college about 20 years ago, I knew many of my professors’ first names but I and my classmates always addressed them by their titles and last names. We were there to learn, to be exposed to new ideas, and to challenge our preconceptions. I don’t see any intellectual curiousity in these 20-something kindergarteners.
My desire to throat punch the president was strong. How did he ever get to a position of responsibility?
I sympthatize SMH, I could take my forehead to a palm reader right now after watching the president’s interview. Personally, I would’ve declared that no job is worth dealing with such self-entitled scum, quit, and headed for the exit. It would be worth the assault and battery charge if one of the little brats prevented me from leaving.
Anyone else think the foul-mouthed little moonbat Lena Dunham wanna-be was using VICE news to help her make a video resume for some of the more fringe “progressive” NGOs?

These are the people who will comprise the lawyer and middle management class in ten to twenty years. They will create most of our entertainment.
We will then see how inhumanly the humanists treat people.

penigma mewled: “I’m sure really soon now we’ll all be so tired of winning we’ll want to lose. Not sure what we’re going to do with the Russians but I’m guessing they have something on Trump which is why he’s keeping so silent.”
not to worry, I can give you an exact date. August 21st 2017 according to a consensus of Astrologers on the Internet is the day that will mark the downfall of Trump. While there are a few who doubt the veracity of this prediction they are the usual fringe type Astrology Deniers.

To be a liberal brownshirt in good standing, you have to renew your credentials everyday, don’t you?

I feel blessed that I dont run into this kind of human detritus at work or at play. When leftist reprobates shout their assurances that the white race will soon be irrelevent, they are talking about people, men especially, that build things, invent things, manage things.
They are probably right about the future, but what they fail to recognize is that once the doers and dreamers of big things are gone, there won’t be anyone left to replace them….certianly not the feckless dimwits being graduated from US universities.
You cant eat Facebook, Twitter isn’t going to keep the planet fed and Snapchat isn’t going to keep the lights on. I hope I live long enough to enjoy the show.

You’d never know it looking at that faculty, or that schnauzer they have for a president. Did you watch the video? See how he acquiesces to the “students'” thuggery?
It’s not just unsympathetic editing. I’ve heard him talk on NPR – as friendly an audience as a mewling simp like that will ever get – and he rationalizes his pusillanimity as a positive thing.
we stand up for little people when it’s not popular, ya’ know, like Muslims, or blacks, or Hispanics
Or at least, when their votes are at stake (Donald Trump supported gay marriage 20 years before Obama and Hillary did…)
Second, pretty high irony to hear you complain about Brownshirts considering you were fine with “W” putting people in jail
We can debate (and have debated) about exactly how the US government should treat non-uniformed combatants in a global asymmetric war.
Comparing that with “citizens” shutting down other citizens’ free speech rights – mocking the idea of free speech, in fact, in as many words – is kind of a different subject, donchathink?
What are the non-identity-activist students of ESU charged with?
without charge and seemingly don’t complain about Trumps attacks upon freedom of speech and freedom of the press,
What attacks on free speech and press?
Being hostile to the press doens’t infringe their freedom (certainly not in the way that the out-and-out-oppression that dissident conservative press on campus receive.
but I’ll take you at your word that you care.
Dang straight you will! 😀
So, when should I expect your attack upon Trump for fatuously claiming things like challenging his comments about Russia’s involvement in election tampering are fake news?
You’ll be waiting a long time. When it comes to Trump’s involvement, he’s more right than wrong.
He’s the king of fake news – questioning it isn’t a 4th estate out of control, it’s a 4th estate doing what it should and you should applaud it.
What he IS is the king of using the major media’s hubris, self-importance and pride against them.
And then there’s this, you seriously think we should ban people from “life”, let alone jobs, because they have a political opinion with which you don’t agree?
I”m not going to hire them, barring some major epiphany on their part.
On a side note, President Superman has a serious issue on his hands with the Russians
So we’re told.
Still waiting for any actual evidence.

Those Russkies. It appears that they now can also influence the weather in Georgia.

That’s right night. I cannot wait for a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate Handel/Russia connection.

If the left has what it takes to stand of for blacks and hispanics, please explain to me the crime rates in the inner city, where the left has ruled for half a century. Sorry, Pen, but if the left cared about minorities, they’d be changing their tune in cities like Detroit and Chicago.
