Behind Tucker Carlson’s white replacement rhetoric, a frightening antisemitic history
When the torchbearers of Charlottesville yelled “Jews will not replace us,” they were actually doing a bit of translation. The infamous phrase was based on an idea that took hold in France, gained traction in Austria, had deep roots in violent American white supremacist thinking, and has been supercharged by social media in multiple languages and forms.
The Great Replacement Theory, or the White Replacement Theory, catapulted back into the headlines earlier this month when Tucker Carlson of Fox News espoused it on prime-time television.
The “replacement theory” posits that white European populations are being deliberately replaced as an ethnic and cultural power through the planned migration and subsequent growth of minority communities. And it suggests that this is happening around the globe.
“Camus believes that all Western countries are faced with varying degrees of “ethnic and civilizational substitution,”’ Thomas Chatterton Williams wrote in The New Yorker.
This belief has been linked to mass murders like the Tree of Life shooting and the New Zealand mosques.
Interestingly, languages are part of this conspiracy theory.
So who is orchestrating this “grand replacement?” For many conspiracy theorists, that answer is simple — Jews.
