Derrick Jensen's queer theory jeopardy making the rounds again!
https://youtu.be/Cb3-tlyuhVo?feature=shared
His thoughts from July:
The funny thing is that if they would not have destroyed the first talk for the group of attorneys, it would have been nothing more than an informal chat with 30 people.
If they would have just let me do the library thing, there would have been 50 people watching it live and 500 on livestream.
But because they were jackasses and because I remained focused, it has been seen 500,000 times in the past week alone, and probably 1.5 million times total.
that is a remarkable Own-goal on their part.
And this is how nonviolent discipline works when you do it right. All I did was maintain my cool under pressure, and continue to be reasonable (if sometimes scathing), and they come off looking like the remarkably stupid, remarkably sociopathological people they are. That's the essence of nonviolent discipline. You show dignity, and let the other side show the world who they are.
