Great Replacement

You found a way to connect to the internet.

Welcome to the QAA podcast, episode 390, Great Replacement Theory at the State Department, featuring Joseph Burton.

As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rakotansky, Julian

Field, and Travis View.

So you

have concerns about things like, for instance, the Great Replacement Theory, which is really circulating online, and

how that...

To separate you from one another.

Like I know exactly what they're saying here.

It's turf shit and it's great replacement theory shit.

And it's just all of that.

And it's like, I guess there's a part of me.

Yeah.

They're going to make everyone queue up to pay for the Pittington-Omakase, whether they want it or not.

In Greece, one of the ways in which the Greek state doing crimes against humanity in the Aegean came out was because it was the right that went down to the beaches and found these photographs of shipwrecks and then assumed that they were the remains of boats that had been imported by the authorities as part of the Great Replacement.

And actually, it was the complete opposite.

Yeah.

BDR becomes a – for the anti-immigrant movement in the United States with heavy overtones of what the SPLC, my former employer, would have called white nationalism, right? I think a better way to do it than say they're white nationalist or whatever is to say that this nonprofit, this website, is more responsible for the promotion of the great replacement narrative than any particular thing I can imagine.

It is the foundation of making the great replacement narrative part of American politics today.

And when Tucker Carlson, you know, blasted it to like 4 million people a night, you better believe he had some understanding of VDR when he did it.

And we have knowledge that he knows the Brimelows because he has invited them since he's left Fox News.

But I am, you know, I have gotten a little tired about reading about people whose values are so based around hate and aggression.

And I do think it is very important to understand the motives, the psychologically, the motives of certain people.

But also, one example of a Peter Brimelow thing that is mentioned in the book, but not in tremendous detail, is after the Buffalo shooting, where 10 black people were gunned down by a maniac who believed in the Great Replacement conspiracy and that motivated him, Peter ran out in the most cowardly fashion and started to defend the notion that the Great Replacement existed in Buffalo.

There's a lot of themes of, like, our way of life is at stake.

And, you know, the narratives within this, uh, have roots in the Great Replacement, which is a conspiracy theory that white populations in Western countries are being replaced by non-white populations, you know, for political purposes.

Um, and we know that this has real consequences.

You know, there have been deadly attacks in, gosh, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, uh, El Paso, San Diego, I mean, sadly, the list goes on and on, that have all been sort of inspired or driven by this conspiracy theory.

But it, it feels like it can't just be those two guys, right?

No, no.

I mean, I do think there is something about, like, for people who are espousing the great replacement, right? And they can point to successful Muslim politicians as an, as a, a way to validate their point.

Like, "See, I told you so.

And it's very uncanny.

And one of the things that we're working with in the book is how the idea of great replacement, that story is, Which is

the story that Trump and Musk were really telling after Helene, right? It was like, yeah, it's not the climate, it's all Great Replacement.

But the central story of Great Replacement is like, my home is not my home.

I go down the street and it feels weird.

It doesn't feel like my home, right? And so this is this weird thing that as you know, like this is what conspiracy culture does so well is like it gets the feeling that people are having and then it pivots it.

Young Europeans have taken to heart two things.

the Frenchman Renaud Camus' warning that the West is being destroyed by the Great Replacement, and the conviction that the only solution is one popularized by the Austrian Martin Zellner and many others, which is re-migration.

As Rupert Lowe, founder of the recently established Restore Britain Party, puts it, this means that a great many non-whites now living in the West will have to leave.

They will go home.

There will be tribunals.

Those who organize or knowingly facilitated the Great Replacement will go to prison.

Those traitors now have a clear choice, reverse course or flee.

If they maintain course, they will be punished because Rupert also put out that I will make the country a promise tonight.

Clip number 11 from The Blaze.

Democrat Representative Ayanna Pressley talks about the great replacement theory.

Let's talk about the great replacement theory, shall we? Let's go to clip 11 now.

Hmm.

Do they believe it's real because they've been to Costco recently? Do they perhaps believe it's real because of the statistic reality bearing that out? Why do they think it's real if it's so fake and ridiculous? You know, this is what I'm talking about.

That's basically our world now.

That's basically where we're at across the board.

So I don't – I guess it's up to – I guess whether or not we can actually just see things for ourselves, establish patterns in our own minds, or do we need – to convince Ayanna Pressley to admit that white people are being targeted for eradication, that the Great Replacement, it's not just real, it's a UN project that they are proud of, that it's borne out statistically.

Clip number 11 from The Blaze.

Democrat Representative Ayanna Pressley talks about the great replacement theory.

Let's talk about the great replacement theory, shall we? Let's go to clip 11 now.

You and the public watching at home because it's foundational to what's happening here.

The great replacement theory is a conspiracy that falsely claims that white people are being deliberately replaced by immigrants and people of color.

It is a far right white supremacist ideology that far too many Republicans believe is real.

Do they believe it's real because they've been to Costco recently? Do they perhaps believe it's real because of the statistic reality bearing that out? Why do they think it's real if it's so fake and ridiculous? You know, this is what I'm talking about.

That's basically our world now.
