How an #AntiImmigrant and #Antisemitic #ConspiracyTheory became U.S. policy
...

That shameless opportunists would prey on people’s worst instincts for political gain is not surprising. But that this anti-immigrant and antisemitic conspiracy theory now undergirds U.S. policy is chilling and should never be normalized.

How an anti-immigrant and antisemitic conspiracy theory became U.S. policy

The “great replacement theory” is an idea based on fear of change, of losing power, of looking around you and not recognizing your country anymore. But America has nothing to be afraid of.

The Philadelphia Inquirer
Le problème est qu’il part dans tous les sens à la fois. À quoi bon ses apologies de réactionnaires complotistes (#RenaudCamus), nihilistes (#Houellebecq) ou j’m’enfoutiste (#Finkielkraut) ? Je suis tout Team Tolérance aux Ambiguïtés, mais ça relève d’une confusion sévère de directionnalité, non ? Il devrait faire beaucoup mieux dans sa prise de position entre une droite française décomplexée et une gauche tragique, mais à force de critiquer le « Jew-splitting » tel que le propose #Butler (« Être juif, c’est se séparer de soi-même. ») il perd de vue la vraie lutte contre la simplification, l’essentialisme et le déclin de pensée (française pars pro toto). 3/3

Is There A “Great Replacement” If You Can’t Read French?

Got a new article up at totalpropaganda.net. It's part one of a three-part essay about the deep roots of what I've started calling "replacement ideology," which is to say a fear of demographic replacement and the attendant belief that aggressive measures are necessary to rid the national community of outsiders.

That way of thinking didn't start with the term "The Great Replacement," which has only been in widespread usage for the past 15 years or so, but to get the discussion started, this post looks at the guy who coined the term, what he meant by it, and how his explanation functions as "constitutive rhetoric."

I'll hold off on a detailed explanation here, but suffice to say that constitutive rhetoric doesn't try to convince people to change their minds so much as it tells people who they are and that they should act accordingly. It's something that comes up a lot in nationalist movements, go figure.

At any rate, I (a giant nerd) think it's interesting stuff, but I wouldn't bother writing it all out like this if I didn't think it could also help people understand just how racist, xenophobic, and, yes, fascist ideas spread and motivate action. Regardless of what that gazillionaire author says, where there is violence, violent language is never far away.

Can society still agree that we shouldn't be platforming fascists? It appears that a sizeable proportion disagree...

Rightwing Journalists Are Openly Backing the Guy Who Came up With the ‘Great Replacement’ Theory

The rightwing media is going to bat for a French far-right philosopher whose theories have inspired racist mass-murderers.

« Bien qu’elle porte sur des exemples français, l’analyse d’Alain Roy, directeur de la revue québécoise L’Inconvénient, expose la vacuité d’un discours qui ne sévit pas qu’en France, mais qui sert de carburant aux démagogues d’extrême droite de plusieurs pays. Un discours basé sur un faux postulat – le déclin de l’Occident –, sur la haine de l’étranger non blanc et sur la nostalgie d’un passé fantasmé, homogène et patriarcal.

Mathieu Bock-Côté, ce chroniqueur ubiquiste qui a le don de palabrer au Québec et en France pendant la même semaine, fait partie de la chorale xénophobe à laquelle s’attaque le livre, aux côtés de #RenaudCamus, Alain #Finkielkraut, #ÉricZemmour, Michel #Houellebecq et #MichelOnfray. »

Of course the pompous #GreatReplacementTheory (#GRT), though the term was coined by French conspiracy novelist, #RenaudCamus, in his 2011 novel "Le Grand #Remplacement", dates back to the works of two other #French intellectuals from the 19th century,..
