What Replacement Theory? The Right Wants Us To Shut Up About Buffalo Shooters Ideology

The manifesto included a nearly word-for-word repeat of Fox News host Tucker Carlson's interpretation of the racist "Great Replacement" narrative, a far-right conspiracy theory that claims Democrats and/or Jews are trying to dilute the white American electorate by importing immigrants of color.

The TV-dinner heir and child of total privilege who claims to speak for the common man has long had an affinity for the most racist of conspiracy theories. Yet rather than reflect on the similarity between the ideological conspiracy theory they're pushing and the motivations of the Buffalo shooter, many conservatives are crying foul at the suggestion they might have some culpability for spreading hate.

Carlson is hardly alone. His allies and followers in the Republican Party have been parroting the "replacement" line for years. GOP rising star Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., one of the biggest proponents of the conspiracy, used it in a September 2021 campaign ad. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., used the term directly in a tweet praising Carlson, and candidates such as Ohio Republican U.S. Senate nominee J.D. Vance have also embraced the language. Judd Legum has a good overview here.

But instead of rethinking how they talk about immigrants and people of color, conservatives have gone on the offensive, playing aggrieved to drown their critics in crocodile tears. Stefanik, in a statement, expressed her sympathies for the victims of the shooting — and then turned things over to senior advisor Alex DeGrasse for a doubling down on anti-immigrant sentiments.


We would shut up, but since any one of those victims lives is worth more than Tucker Carlsons or any of the complicit Republicans combined, we’re going to have to just say no.


And you want to hide the fact that he stated he hated Fox news and never mentioned Tucker......not once......

He did, however, call himself a leftist authoritarian/populist and eco-fascist who hates conservatives and capitalism...

This latest attack is one in a series of mass public shootings motivated by environmentalism. But you won’t hear that on the news.

In his manifesto, the gunman self-identifies as an “eco-fascist national socialist” and a member of the “mild-moderate authoritarian left.” He expresses concern that minority immigrants have too many children and will damage the environment.

Capitalists, who the shooter argues are destroying the environment, are at the root of much of the problem. “The trade of goods is to be discouraged at all costs,” he demands.


.

Overpopulation and the environment are hardly signature conservative issues. It’s certainly not something you’ll hear Donald Trump talk about at his rallies. And while some Republicans believe in limiting international trade, it’s certainly not for environmental reasons.

Conservatives don’t believe: “The invaders are the ones over populating the world. Kill the invaders, kill the overpopulation and by doing so save the environment.” Nor do they write: “The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People’s Republic of China.”

In the Tampa Bay area, illegal aliens, in the country for 3 days, are REPLACING Floridians who have lived here all their lives. Because of Biden's Mexican border to Florida airlifts of wealthy migrants, landlords here have been raising rents 200-300%, forcing Floridians to vacate their houses & apartments. The aliens live there now.

Not Replacement theory. Replacement FACT.
