Replacement Theory is not a political power play, it is a conspiracy theory.Bi_3 wrote:You cannot separate the demographic impacts of immigration policy from political power plays in any meaningful way
Presenting Replacement Theory and its hold on modern conservatives as a natural consequence of a Democratic Party subculture is absurd. Was the Christchurch shooter radicalized by the Democratic Party when he called his manifesto The Great Replacement? Was Anders Behring Breivik radicalized by American immigration policy when he murdered 77 people in Norway while invoking the theory in 2011? Is American immigration policy the reason that England saw a record number of racial hate crimes last year?particularly with our new intersectionality-first subculture gaining so much prominence in the Democratic party over the last few years
Replacement Theory festers in any majority-white country, and especially in affluent ones. It's been around for decades...arguably more than a century. What is new is the direct adoption of it by one of the premier political parties of the United States.
The Republican Party is moving CPAC to Europe this year specifically so that this person can be the guest speaker:

That is a tacit acceptance of that ideology. A legitimization of it.Viktor Oban, yesterday wrote:(The Western World is) committing suicide through immigration. I see the great European population exchange as a suicidal attempt to replace the lack of European, Christian children with adults from other civilizations – migrants.
Adopting a racist conspiracy theory is not a "rise in white identity politics." And it isn't happening "alongside other groups." It is the attribution of intentional cultural genocide to your political opponents, and believing in it requires (as a bedrock!) that people who come to America from other countries are mindlessly obedient Democrat voters. They are not independent thinkers. They do not make decisions for themselves. If the Democrats can get them here, they own them, and they're willing to do exactly that for the purpose of unravelling American democracy. That is a conspiracy theory. That is not "white identity politics."Bi_3 wrote:so long as we center race within our politics we will see a rise in white identity politics alongside other groups.
And no amount of immigration reform will change the fact that America is becoming more diverse. You cannot protect the racially insecure from change. You have to change the racially insecure, and you can't do that until you admit that they and they alone are their problem.
