    So nothing then. As expected.

    Yeah, I'm more than happy to believe that the overwhelming majority of GOP voters are lovely, decent people who for various reasons vote Republican.

    It's the leadership, the commentariat and others driving this I take issue with.

    For all the racist drivel spewed about radicalization, grooming gangs and Sharia law, it turns out that Conservatives were just jealous.

    You mean do I believe that Europeans are being replaced by non Europeans in some European countries.

    That's a not a belief it's just a fact.

    So are Europeans being kicked out of Europe and non Europeans taking their place?

    If not, how is anyone being 'replaced'?

    You make a lot of assumptions that other people make a lot of assumptions. Almost like you make a lot of assumptions and assume that everyone else does too.

    These American mass shooters are always doped up on prescription pills - anti-depressants and anti-anxiety and all sorts of mind-altering stuff.

    If there is a "long trail of blood" (🙄) it's more likely to lead back to the pharmaceutical industry.

    You want proof? Do you believe there are European countries which are NOT a more wonderfully diverse than they were in the 80s and 90s? Course you don't but it won't stop you pretending otherwise 🤣


    Have a link, then you can try other lines that everyone knows you don't believe like "Are you saying Muslims can't be European" and other classics.

    Were Tarrant or Breivik similarly doped up on America's tangential pharmaceutical problems? I don't think they were. I haven't seen any reporting that mentioned the killer was on any sort of medication at all. If you have facts and not assumptions please share. The only thing I know that the killer was on (according to his manifesto which detailed the itinerary of the attack) is corned beef hash, which while a bit gross is not a pharmacological drug.

    (The full thing is 180 pages long but I have not accessed it, only through media images)

    I understand why but disagree with the mods amending the title to make the topic more squarely about Buffalo, because this is not at all just an American issue, GRT is a global issue.

    Europe undergoing a demographic shift does not equate to replacement.

    I'm a white European. I'd like to see proof that I'm potentially being replaced.

    Replaced as the majority, obviously.

    I think you and some others on this thread think that deliberately misunderstanding this term refutes the phenomenon it describes, when in reality it just makes you look desperate to ignore it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,330 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    The phenomenon you describe isn't what GRT is though, GRT suggests that Jews, Liberals, etc. are behind the influx of migrants into countries to intentionally wipe out white majorities and install new voters. It's conspiratorial levels of trying to rationalize the mass immigration phenomenon. Ultimately, this killer decided to try and lower the black population because of what he saw as attempts by the Democrats to replace the electorate with immigrants.

    Acknowledging the mass migration to the US and Europe for a moment, consider that it's not going to stop happening. As the climate warms and desertification intensifies, more equatorial countries are going to experience collapse, starting with food insecurity and devolving into civil wars. Refugees will head to stable countries where - unless we start talking about it more often like rational adults - some of the 99th percentile of sociopaths are going to take matters into their own hands. There's already a bunch of presumably Irish posters on the thread who seem to accept that GRT is happening and they're all being replaced etc. so how long is it then, if not inevitable, that Ireland and any country that gets an influx of refugees is going to at some point have violence inspired by the theory that this was visited upon us as part of some NWO experiment. So I'd like to find out where the facts end, and the conspiracy theory begins, maybe it will help any and all of us out in the future that we might avoid future bloodshed. As it stands there's an undercurrent of talk like 'this IS happening and we need to DO something about it' which can lead to such radicalization. The majority of people need not take it that far, 1 killing spree terrorist is all it takes to make a tragedy.

    Ah the old Coudenhove-Kalergi plan for Europe rears it's head again. I had a cousin that believed all that **** at one point. Said we needed to get ready for a war against Islam in Europe, and the time was now:

    "We're going to go to war with them at some point anyway, may as well be now while we have the numbers."

    He read The Turner Diaries, The Camp of the Saints and all sorts of lovely propaganda and pretty much lived online. It ended up breaking his brain.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭Mike Murdock


    @Overheal The violence you speak of has sort of happened here already. Burning down potential migrant centres has happened and thank Christ they were empty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    As I said, you would have to believe some posters are touched in in the head if you actually thought they were responding in good faith. "Becoming a smaller percentage of the population doesn't mean anyone is being replaced, France could be 100 per cent Muslim and it wouldn't mean anyone was replaced" and so forth. Compelling stuff no doubt.



  • Registered Users Posts: 170 ✭✭Mr_Jacko


    If this thread has proven anything it's that the right specially far-right cant take any criticism.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,330 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    So you're being replaced, where are you going? Shipped off to Syria?

    No one has posted any of your strawman arguments in this thread. Well except you.

    Lets take what you state, that white Europeans are being replaced as true. Is this replacement being planned and directed by some group or section of society in particular?

    You'll have to forgive me for not being up on the terminology as I usually try to steer clear of right wing nonsense.

    I travel to South Africa a lot where, as a white person, I am the minority. You can really feel it, black people everywhere, might see one or two white people knocking about, but by and large you feel like you stand out a lot.

    Whenever I come home to Ireland, it's a sea of white people. White people everywhere. If you do see a black person, they stand out - which might make it seem like there are more than there actually are.

    Either way, we've a long way to go before being 'replaced as the majority', a long way. I'd suggest leaving Europe and spending some time in a predominantly non white country and then come home if you want to get a feel for how white it actually still is here.



  • Registered Users Posts: 170 ✭✭Mr_Jacko


    Another conspiracy spread by Alex Jones/Infowars its the pharmaceutical industries fault!!

    not the easily available automatic guns, right-wing conspiracy theories being spread left right and center emboldening people to take violence into their own hands or mental health problems (which believe it or not anti-depressants can help).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Are you contesting that there is a demographic shift away from Europeans in some European countries?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    I don't think you actually understand this replacement theory that you're posting paragraph after paragraph about.

    This does not surprise me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,811 ✭✭✭joe40


    The only time a "great replacement" happened was when European empires colonised other countries. The Ulster plantation was a "great replacement".

    Obviously this happened in the past and we must live in the world as it has evolved since then.

    The idea that this is now happening in any kind of orchestrated or planned way in either Europe or America is nothing but hate filled nonsense. Demographics will change and shift as they have done throughout the ages.

    The likes of Tucker Carlson are dangerous individuals, their words have consequences, they should own those consequences.

    Neither of them are American. Both were steroid users which supports my point. However their drugs were illicitly obtained so I can't very well blame the pharma industry.

    In America we can blame the pharma industry. Doctors hand out pills like candy because they're on huge commissions from the drug companies. 66% of adults are on some type of drugs. It's a nation of drug-addicts with easy access to firearms.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,330 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Well you are the one implying it's more than simply demographic proportionality:

    As I said, you would have to believe some posters are touched in in the head if you actually thought they were responding in good faith. "Becoming a smaller percentage of the population doesn't mean anyone is being replaced, France could be 100 per cent Muslim and it wouldn't mean anyone was replaced" and so forth. Compelling stuff no doubt.

    So if you think I don't understand you can argue in good faith why that is...



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,706 ✭✭✭Nermal


    I don't disagree with anything you've posted.

    I'm making the point that if you define 'replacement' as requiring the existing population to be deported or murdered, you're just arguing with yourself.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 39,667 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    No, this is the premise. Replacement means removing the original by one means or another. This is just quibbling over semantics to shut down criticism of this white supremacist conspiracy theory.

    What does a demographic shift away mean?

    I am not denying immigration is happening from poorer countries to wealthier nations? No (If that is your question).

    I am contesting that there is any orchestrated plan for this immigration. I am stating that there is no shadow organisation run by the jews or liberal elites (See the democratic party in the usa) planning and executing any great plan to see the replacement of white people.

    How about you?



  • Registered Users Posts: 170 ✭✭Mr_Jacko


    with the kind of logic you're spouting all Americans should just move back to Europe and give the lands back to the native American Indian tribes.

    Have you ever heard of the phrase more Irish than the Irish themselves? I've been to France multiple times and French Muslims there have always been kind and very easy to interact with one fella and his family even owned a café and were extremely friendly you would hardly notice that they were in fact "Muslim" as you label them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,155 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    Do you agree that the % of native Dubs in Dublin is decreasing over time due to culchies and other immigrants coming to the capital?



  • Registered Users Posts: 170 ✭✭Mr_Jacko


    correlation does not equal causation.

    Just because they were steroid users doesn't mean shite your going to need a much larger sample size than two individuals to prove that your point has any significance.

    we hand out plenty of medication here for anxiety and depression yet we don't see such a large uptake in violence? I think the point of doctors handing out medication easily over there is overblown and has been used as an excuse by the right (Alex Jones et al) for at least two decades now. In fact if anything these mass shooters need to be medically accessed and given medication which could prevent them from carrying out such acts of horrific violence in the first place not mentioning the other measures that could be taken to reduce the likelihood of such events happening in the first place.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Ah super, so you do believe that Europeans are being replaced by non Europeans in some countries? You just prefer to couch in terms of poorer and wealthier given the whole socialist vibe. we got there in the end

    I don't think its being caused by some shadow organisation either. So we are in agreement. Isn't that wonderful?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,330 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    The Culchie Replacement Theory.

    If people move to Dublin they're Dubs. Percentages don't matter a damn, if the 'native' Dubs still choose to live there they still live there and aren't being replaced. GRT would argue they are being ✌️ "Replaced" ✌️ by the Culchies because the Culchies, if they outnumber the natives, have more votes in local elections. GRT would argue this is part of a grand design by the progressive left and/or NWO cabals.

    Right wingers in the US are going completely off the edge



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    So it would only be replacement if the native people were removed rather than becoming a minority over time due to birth rates.

    So the Uyghurs being sterilized are not being replaced per se, that's just semantics.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 39,667 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    Removal is part of replacing something.

    Any evidence for your conspiracy theory?

    You see no differences between the Uyghur concentration camps and forced sterilization, etc. - to letting in refugees?

    Nowhere in GRT that I'm aware of (unless you're making us aware) does it mention the Jews etc., sterilizing the native population.

    If anything, forced sterilizations are more likely to occur to the immigrant population, not the other way around:

    I hope you are not suggesting mass sterilization of refugees as a solution.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,826 ✭✭✭ArthurDayne


    What’s interesting about the Great Replacement Theory garbage is that it seems obsessed with finding the “design” in migration — rather than looking at the complex socioeconomic factors that drive migration and indeed the relatively non-complex factor that the countries where people are being “replaced” are relatively wealthy, tolerant and safe. Disregard all that however, because the real reason they are coming is because of decisions made at the Project Great Replacement AGM, held in an underground cavern, attended by the usual Liberal dignitaries like George Soros, an Islamic State fighter posing as a 19 year old Syrian refugee and a mysterious blue-haired, black non-binary snowflake known only to the Right as The Woke Liberal Elite Person.

    Great Replacement Theory is, in essence, an intellectually vacuous argument that tries to find an easy answer for a complex phenomenon — i.e. it’s all due to design and therefore there must be a designer and therefore by overcoming the designer you end the design. It’s simplistic rubbish.

    Anyone see the video, poor people never stood a chance, it always surprises me the absolute violence a gun like that can produce, we're so immune to it from Hollywood that when you see it in real life its just astonishing how something like that can be acquired so easily, like the video of the Christchurch shootings it's scary how quickly your life can be destroyed by some mentalist



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Removal is part of replacing something? So the Uyghurs are not being replaced? Seems a tad brusque, but if that's how you see things. Or is that just semantics on your part?

    I don't have a conspiracy theory 🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,330 ✭✭✭✭Overheal

    I declined to watch the video beyond what was shown to me on Twitter as evidence the shooter spared white victims. But what's startling about this shooter was, Police already knew about him a year ago, he went in for a psych eval and they couldn't find reason to proceed further than that. Everything he bought - the armor, the gun, was all purchased legally, he only made AFAIK an illegal modification (in NY) to extend the magazine size.
