You should watch the video of the student mob going after Bret, and however much more of the story you can. Your stratagy won't work.

I've watched it multiple times. I sat and watched, stupefied, that the idiot couldn't recognize his situation, which was nothing but disadvantaged.

Looking back on it now, in the context of cancel culture, woke politics and ever creeping critical theory into the mainstream, perhaps it seems obvious that Bret was faced with a hopeless situation at Evergreen. These forces had not gained the prominence they have today when Evergreen broke down though; for many, hearing about the fiasco Bret and Heather went through was an alarm bell that people could hardly believe was ringing. I'd wager the instinct of most liberal leaning people at that time would be to try to explain perspectives in a civilized manner, and, perhaps foolishly, expect the same courtesy in return.

I think that is very insightful, and it goes beyond this immediate situation. One could apply it from the idiotic stinkpot that is our current university environment, to racial injustice, to international relations. The Earth is moving under our feet, it has been for at least a couple decades, and the average American doesn't see it.
