--QUOTES FROM THIS VIDEO:

"These people had flipped the script and said, "If you don't sign up for our racism, you're a racist.""

"My point is, the accusation is in and of itself so powerful in modern circumstances that the idea of standing up to it doesn't occur to most people."

Every time a far left-leaning friend of mine brings up how identity politics is actually a good thing, I bring up the Evergreen incident.

One doesn’t have to be left or right leaning to know how terrible that was.

[rebecca-xczv]

I always think “be nice to your brother” when these two are talking.

[matttorrence]

I am with Eric. He is right. He ain’t putting up with this anymore. And no one should ever have.

[EverettNewell]

Thank you for stating it so clearly. I cannot get over how many times I've been told that since I don't care about your skin colour or gender - since I care about what's in your heart and your mind: your values, choices and contribution to the world - since that's how I measure a human, I am racist. I'm racist for not ranking by skin colour and gender. Fighting racism by ranking people according to skin colour and gender is quite Orwellian (and racist).

[ShaneSur]

I think Eric needs to hear Bret out more. He seems to reject Brets efforts before Bret has even had a chance to explain his reasoning.

[lrg]

I like the frank attitude with each other..You can tell they respect one another but also challenge and allow to be challenged with the goal of advancing the conversation forward. Extremely grateful for this channel!

[jaseman]

The penny drops that the rational intelligent thinkers are massively outnumbered and losing control. When the crowds are not willing to listen to reason and hellbent on supporting uninformed ideas you ought to be afraid.

[expoundamus]

“Morons and idiots that have been indoctrinated”. Yes exclude them from this conversations. Talking to them only gives them power.

[Dino_Medici]

Keep pumping out the clips. Throw them on Twitter and IG it will grow your audience by 1000% minimum.

Thanks for seeking truth through dialectics and all that good stuff too..!

It is great, I pretty much get most of my news, social commentary etc from podcasts. I get 20 minutes into the news now and get to a point where I must throw the TV out the window.
Podcasts are very calm and pleasant.

20 years of Marxist indoctrination of your youngest and brightest have consequences

Holy shit, i've watched multiple rogan episodes of both Eric and Bret. But only now do I realise that there's two of them...

[jancox]

I'm 71 years old and a product of the late 60's, early 70's in the US. For all the unrest that occurred back then, I find it impossible to wrap my head around the actions and attitudes of today college students. It's so incredibly misguided. How did they come to this?

[dwrigh]

just watched all the evergreen stuff. Wow I can't believe all of that happened. I'm not sure why I never heard of it before. Insanity.

[laurenlochamybatson]

Eric you are too late to the game to push for shutting these ideas down. It is too late for that, and you need to listen to what your younger brother was trying to say before your insecurities led you to rudely cut him off. We are already so far into the mess that we now have to determine how to stop it from gaining any more ground. You should understand this, Mr. Game Theory. We can't go back in time and undo what the universities have done for the last 20 years. Brett was trying to solve the problem. He was trying to say that we have to figure out what to do with the cowards that will go along with this insanity even though they know it is wrong and dangerous. THOSE are the bystanders that could have prevented this BS from growing into new fields of study and gaining power before leaking out of the universities. We are way passed the point of not entertaining these ideas.

[rick]

I’m glad you revisited this at this crucial time.

[supermarioisacat]

Part of the issue comes from those who refuse to agree on well established meanings of words, concepts and phrases. So, instead of arguing a point by using generally accepted definitions, they will freely change the definitions to make their point.

[brianjoyce]

In small scale, TESC demonstrates it and Benjamin Boyce documents it and becoming informed about it is needed. Please do that

[tylerk]

I legitimately thought these two were the same person until now.

Compare how Eric acts here with how he acts interviewing Jocko
