I am aware that the use of such source is frowned upon. Nonetheless, the elonjettracker dude got busted from X© and now has his own sub. Interesting content to say the least, and it does help put things into perspective. Also i hope Lemmy implements flairs as a feature, this post could thus use a discussion flair, to signal that such content is up for debate.

    The great replacement theory has not taken hold there yet?

      I never understand how the great replacement theory is supposed to work in an immigrant nation like the US. Don’t most Americans trace back to another place 2-3 generations back? Also, aren’t most immigrants (those from Latin America) 1. More likely to have (some) native roots, and 2. Likely to have settled in the Americas for a longer time (I.e. more generations).

      That is, Americans are getting “replaced” by people that are more American.

        Your problem is you’re thinking logically. The people who subscribe to conspiracy theories like that either aren’t skeptical enough to grasp how irrational it is or know it’s bullshit and see it as a tool to push their fascist agenda.

        Accepting that the US is a nation of immigrants means the American Fundamentalist religion is false, and the faithful can’t allow that.

        Yes, but those ‘more American’ people aren’t white. And that’s what matters to these chucklefucks. Never mind that they replaced the natives (violently) in the first place.

        So really, what they fear is people doing to them what they did to others.

      meh, i doubt so. The french has this Zemmour dude that keep bringing this up all the time, i hope they see through it too. For immigrants, France is just a transit zone.
