Invitation: Anarchy in Portland
Tuesday, 20 April 2021 at 19:00 (UK Time)
Exclusive to UnHerd Members
Join Freddie Sayers and Bret Weinstein to mark one year since the Portland riots that left the city in disarray. To this day, riots are still taking place across the city, leaving businesses destroyed and buildings burnt down. ‘Anarchy’ may sound like an extreme word, but Portland fits the criteria.
As the result is considered on the Derek Chauvin trial today, we’ll discuss the state of justice what happens next in America.
Bret Weinstein is a theoretical evolutionary Biologist and former professor at Evergreen State College, Washington. In late May 2017, Weinstein was the subject of student protests after he refused to leave the college on a “Day of Absence”, in which white participants were told to stay off campus.
He was subsequently driven out of Evergreen and later formed a part of the “Intellectual Dark Web”, a term his brother Eric coined to describe a group of academics and media personalities who publish outside of mainstream media.
The discussion will be held on Zoom and we’ll be opening up the conversation to your contributions and questions after the panellists have spoken. Spaces are limited, so become a member today and reserve your ticket.

Back around 1980 I was living on a tiny commune in Oregon with an ‘Earth First!’ guy, a couple organic vegetarians, a student disability SJW, a stoner/drunk tree planter, a minority guy in the marijuana industry, and a couple normals having a gap year in the alternate universe, and me a drifter/street person. So I have been down with the Oregon Proto radicals, and thus have a old person’s interest in what became of what us younger people created, how the Frankenstein has handled himself after he grew up.
Oh-Well, I hope you members have a good time watching the show (I, being such a non-joiner of anything, am not a member, not because the money, and creeping pay-wall, but just because I have led my life from the outside looking in, so would not be comfortable with that “MEMBER” logo above my name; Like how I refused to wear the mask, I guess I always just have to go up the down staircase.)
Has this webinar been recorded? It was spot on.
Hello, Bret Weinstein. After following with great interest the insanity you provoked at Evergreen (using nothing more than comon sense and reason), I’m so pleased to happen upon whatever link just brought me to news of your and yours move to Portland. Ok, so maybe it turned out to be a move from frying pan to fire, short term. I get that, having moved to San Francisco some time back. But Portland’s return to the jewel that it was remains feasible, and you’re uniquely positioned to comment on certain aspects of all that. Enjoy. I missed your podcast this time but I’ll look to be in touch. Best,
Steve Cusick
