10 Things We Learned From Bret Weinstein On The Joe Rogan Experience
10. What Weinstein Predicts For America Going Forward
In case you weren't aware, Bret Weinstein was famously branded as a racist for opposing a change to the 'Day of Absence' tradition at Evergreen college in 2017. This day would usually see minority students and faculty stay home voluntarily in order to stress their contributions to the university.
However, this was changed when the college announced that white individuals would instead be sent to an off-campus programme to learn about racist issues. The minority students would then stay on-campus. Eventually the students began to protest for changes in the college, with many opposing Weinstein's opinion and allegations of racism being at the forefront of their message. This eventually created what many perceived to be an unsafe environment and led to a catastrophic drop in enrolment to the college.
With protests evolving into riots in the wake of the recent Black Lives Matter movement, Weinstein and Rogan now believe that the events which seriously effected Evergreen are finally spilling out into the rest of the world.
Weinstein believes we are staring at many scenarios which will ultimately end in some kind of civil war. He does still think it's possible to avert that outcome but he doesn't know the force that gets in its way.
He also referenced how this is starting to feel like 'Occupied 2.0'. Weinstein describes Occupied as a complaint about the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) programme which eventually morphed into an anarchist movement. He now feels this current situation is turning into the anarchist version of Occupied fusing with the Black Lives Matter movement.
