The Guardian reports a small West Virginia town is still trying to recover from becoming the face of white nationalism after a nonprofit selling “white replacement theory” and other conspiracies moved in and began flooding the internet with conspiracies.
Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, residents learned Peter and Lydia Brimelow — owners of the controversial online publication VDare — bought property in the area in 2020.
Journalist Michael Edison Hayden said Peter Brimelow has been influential at spreading the idea of “white genocide,” the argument that white people are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigration.
“And he succeeded,” said Hayden. “At the Republican National Convention in 2024, people were holding signs calling for mass deportation. That is in part Brimelow’s legacy.”
“Does the Republican party, or Trump, or any of these people, need VDare? They have all these online influencers, and at this point practically every MAGA politician has paid lip service to the great replacement theory. … VDare’s mission of making immigration a hot-button issue has succeeded in a way that may make VDare obsolete,” said Hayden. “Are younger people going to read VDare now? No. They’re watching Nick Fuentes. I’m sure before long even Fuentes will look like an older person in the eyes of some young radicals. … They are always thinking about the next thing – the thinkers, or talkers, who can help accrue power tomorrow.”
