I just inundated their fb page with Berenson's tweet; I hope everyone who reads this does the same.

Back In The U.S.S.R. would make a matching soundtrack to play on loop in the background 😁--> youtu.be/nS5_EQgbuLc

It’s a shame that he apologized and deleted his “likes”

Money talks. In his case, the idea of no money talked him into deletingc it.

Coercion. But hmm isn't that against human rights or first amendment rights?

How is it ok that an employer threaten your job based on your opinions on your own, not at work?

Perhaps everyone that becomes a university president signs a contract that they can be fired for political views that clash with the university?

In that case, it seems like being in that position makes you a puppet.

And yeah, university president? That's a cushy bullshit job, like CEO or CTO etc

I just quit a college job of 29 years in August 2021... It's exactly like a polished CEO making $200,000 a year. There is such a hierarchy in higher education. College presidents are really polished and are like the popular kid in high school.

It makes you wonder about their credentials and merits. Very sheepled then to fit the role.

They probably will be doing him a favor if they give him the boot. Imagine going to a job for years that requires you compromise your principles for money.

Not a good move.

I agree, was thinking he should have stood in his integrity and said “so what?”.

Integrity? That's so 20th century!

He probably stood a chance of losing his job, lol because of seance. Universitues are not about science anymore but sceance and bullying to protect being bribed for funding

I can hear the scrubbing bubbles from here. This is an old commercial clip from 1981 that illustrates.

Oh, the things they stuck into our heads. https://youtu.be/l4LQtKGEaCw

Hahaha! The commercial is done so well I almost wanted it!!! And since I tend to be suspicious of this tone of presentation, I looked it up. :) https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/ewgs-hall-of-shame-of-toxic-household-cleaners/4/

Thanks TL...oh yes its horrid stuff but those commercial jingles were the memes of my youth, accepted without worry....there must be a whole corner of my brain taken up with all the jingles I heard as a kid. Dow is a hellish company, all those products just another poison. Baking soda and vinegar does the same thing, but for pennies. Getting televisions into American homes was a 'great' accomplishment of the (1950s+/-) Cabal! A melody plus some words, why, how very powerful they are together, for memorization. A tool for good or evil as we can see.

I know!! I mostly looked it up because it's Dow, and it cannot be good... but the commercial itself is so carefree, like happiness itself!

Don't worry about cancer!

Don't think of the heart disease!

I'll take a few years,

A few happy years,

So just buy our poison please!

Actually it is invasive hypnotism using mind electronics as vector

Those commercials live colorfully in my consciousness as well.

"Look George, Mexican tamales!"

"It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."

"You're soaking in it."

and

"Woolite washing makes your sweaters Look Alive!"

I am tired of people not having the courage of conviction. Leave the likes alone. Don’t apologize for your honest beliefs because a mob is at your door. That is weak. If people keep giving in to this BS we will be run by dishonest and mentally unstable people. Stand up and if you lose your job then you do. Dignity and self respect need some love about now.

💯 agree. The only way we can stop this madness is if we stand our ground in integrity and not cave to the woke mob.

Hopefully we push back so much that they hide under the bed. All of them. This is ridiculous!

This is why, long ago, I canceled my MSM subscriptions. Lo, I once had many.

Thanks for this, Tessa, your blog is a bright, bright light.

He is in a inner party position.

He must abide by the rules of the uniparty.

Questioning COVID is verboten for inner party members.

Thus, we can remove him from his influential position to help the uniparty.

But when it comes to the proles, us... We really don't give a shit what this guy thinks. So why is the uniparty so obsessed with having a unified answer?

The USSA is a clown show. First, who cares about his likes? But second - this is how desperately they must guard their precious narrative. Don't you dare smile at the wrong joke, comrade. And don't you dare be the first one to stop clapping for the right one.

As a Dean - sure would have been nice if he would have had the cajones to do more than “like”! Could have made a diff remove during Covid perhaps? How many people were injured in his health department due to his silence?! Sad statement of this world

Walter Kirn has had a running joke on the America This Week with Matt Taibbi podcast about how the next evolution of the insanity we're going through is going to be the criminalization of "liking" wrongthink. Looks like we've just taken another step in that direction.

Soon universities and other similar types of educational organizations will require a "loyalty oath" ensuring employees are sycophantic worshippers

of a mishmash bizarro authoritarian ideology which relishes destroying careers of the nonbelievers.

Just a thought, once a central bank digital currency is firmly established what would've happened to his social credit scores and getting access to his personal assets.🤔

I guess people are just about the same worldwide... change the environment and we see the human need to be part of a herd and fight against their new enemies. I've had so many immigrant students tell me about such group-think and the dissident and now it's here. It's really the darndest thing and a little interesting seen at a certain angle... horrifying from another angle... puzzling from another angle...
