This latest video from documentary film-maker Mike Nayna brings together principals from two other sets of films of his: 2018's Grievance Studies Hoax (Helen Pluckrose, Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay) and the Evergreen College Protests in which Brett Weinstein was literally hunted and made to fear for his safety.
From the YouTube page:
Given that this video claims to be from footage recorded in Oct 2018, it is startlingly prophetic and insightful.
Some choice quotes:
On the rephrasing of passages of Mein Kampf for papers submitted for peer review:
Prophecy:
PB: "They will come for me."
HH: "Yeah, I think they will. And they'll weaponise Title IX, they'll weaponise something.."
(They came for him)

Whilst the Grievance Studies Hoax is eye-opening and has barely any 'real' casualties, the Evergreen College stuff is genuinely chilling.
Mike Nayna has put together a You Tube Playlist as the best way to digest this.
From the YouTube page:
You Tube said:In an attempt to expose academic fields corrupted by postmodern ideology, Helen Pluckrose, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay spent a year submitting intentionally broken papers to academic journals.
Their secret project was cut short when an investigative journalist from the Wall Street Journal discovered the group had published a paper under a fake name.
In October 2018, with the story set to break within days, the group seeks advice from Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying.
Given that this video claims to be from footage recorded in Oct 2018, it is startlingly prophetic and insightful.
Some choice quotes:
11:30 - Brett Weinstein said:"The fact is, we're not going to get very far if we don't have a legitimate concept of racism we can invoke where it is necessary. And the point is, as long as it's being used for this other purpose, we're now stuck.
Likewise 'White Supremacy', we're stuck. 'Transphobia', stuck. 'Islamaphobia', stuck. We don't have the substitute terminology to use, and so the point is they've actually successfully hobbled us in discussing real problems that exist in the world by taking all of these terms and weaponising them for their own purposes. "
13:30 - Heather Heying said:"Students are flocking to these fields because [...] they've [Academia] wrapped up something quite ugly in a very pretty box and put a name on it that sounds beautiful. It's the wrong name, and it's the wrong wrapping - it's ugly inside. But students go to it because they don't know."
On the rephrasing of passages of Mein Kampf for papers submitted for peer review:
15:20 - Peter Boghossian said:"We took 'Jew'.. we swapped 'Jews' for 'Whites'"
Prophecy:
16:20 - Heather Heying (to Peter Boghossian) said:"So you're the only one of us with a university position at the moment. And there's four other of us here who have been associated with universities and colleges in the past and are no longer. I don't think that's an accident.
...
Is PSU [Portland State University] going to be OK with this?"
PB: "They will come for me."
HH: "Yeah, I think they will. And they'll weaponise Title IX, they'll weaponise something.."
(They came for him)
