Unless you're a Native American, you don't have shit to say about a so-called Great Replacement.

[11 Bravo]

However, if as the right insists, we are currently undergoing a reprise of the original, surely it is incumbent upon us to seek historical accuracy.
To that end, I would suggest that a delegation be dispatched to Tucker Carlson's Florida island estate to hand him a smallpox-infected blanket and tell him to get the fuck out.
If he objects, he will be forcibly removed. If he continues to resist he will be offered further tutelage regarding the manner in which Great Replacements actually unfold, and will be afforded the chance to play a bit part in a reenactment of the Wounded Knee Massacre.

Call it an educational opportunity for Carlson, and a happy side benefit for the rest of humanity.

1. May his "reservation" measure 8x10

He can build a casino in that toilet/sink combo thing in the corner.

2. Great Replacement is not a uniquely American phenomena

It is all over the world. White Supremacists in Europe have been touting the "browning of Europe" for years. It was a French author Renaud Camus who coined the term stating that immigrants were changing the culture of France and Europe.

It is not based in any "truth" or logic or sound reasoning. White is not a race in any biological sense. It is a label created specifically to allow certain people to subjugate other people and sell them into slavery. It has been used to justify oppression and creating a legal structure to benefit one group over another. The parameters of "White" have changed as needed throughout history to include then exclude people.

As such, trying to talk sense to anyone who believes and advocates the idea, is not a good strategy. We need to marginalize those people like the French did with Camus.

4. Looked At From

that perspective, the "great replacement" is as old as mankind itself. It's kinda normal, really. And it really doesn't have anything to do with race except incidentally. Hell, it's not even human. Nonhuman animal populations have been doing it forever.

[Caliman73]

6. It certainly can be abstracted, but it has real world consequences.

All humans and most animals have the ability to discriminate. It is a survival mechanism. It kept our ancestors from picking up snakes, walking toward Cave Bears, and wandering into the territory of different bands of humans or hominids. Discrimination is natural, racism, sexism, etc... is not. It is taught for a specific reason, especially in modern times from the 1400's on.

Culture is always changing. Certainly there are traditions that have been around in areas for thousands of years, but ultimately there is no "pure" culture and especially no "pure race". Race is a social construct. There are anatomical and even genetic differences in human populations that have been influenced by geography, diet, and other factors but the separation and classification based on skin color and "racial features" is arbitrary.

If Athenians, who numbered in the 10s of thousands, had worries about the erosion of Athenian culture, then that might be something. The problem is that the "Great Replacement" is nakedly about White Supremacy even though, as I said, there is no cogent and consistent definition of what White even is. The only thing White has consistently ever been is "Not Black" or "Not Them".

While that may be part of human history, it doesn't make it "normal" or more importantly, acceptable. Murder has been part of human history too, but we do not see that as acceptable and have made laws and traditions to try to curb that behavior.

8. Except to call it out as paranoiac bullshit.

9. Many of these idiots won't even protect each other during a pandemic

so some are replacing themselves to achieve herd immunity. No diseased blanket gifts involved this time.

[paulkienitz]

10. replacement theory is based on a premise of entitlement

The fear of "replacement" is based on a presumption that anything that anyone has, a white person should rightfully have instead. Land, money, votes -- sometimes even just air and water. They think it's wrong for any resource to end up in nonwhite hands, let alone for any say to be given to nonwhite voices.

[Justice matters.]

14. The current GQP uses that "replacement" BS to accuse un-named Democratic

"elites" of conspiring to "import" immigrants of color in order to increase their pool of voters to achieve a permanent victory at all future elections.

How do they "know" in advance that those immigrants WILL VOTE for Dems? Does not make any sense since:

1- Voting is supposed to be secret.

2- Many Hispanic communities (in South Florida for one example) are known to vote for GQP candidates {against their own interest).

But present an electoral platform to better the lives of the voters in order to WIN their votes? Never comes to their Fascist views!

13. I have been saying the same thing

No one is a native except a Native American. Everyone who is not is a immigrant. They have rights over everyone else since this IS their land.
