How the French ‘great replacement’ theory conquered the far right
France24 ^ | November 8, 2021

… “Account suspended.” Two bold words that decorate Renaud Camus’ Twitter profile, blocking his access to the platform he uses to engage in political debates and advance his beliefs. Though arguably not as internationally known as Albert Camus, the theories that author Renaud Camus has written about have travelled far.

It was in his 2011 book “Le Grand Remplacement” that he first coined the term “the great replacement”, which became a rallying cry for the far right worldwide.

Rooted in racist nationalist views, the great replacement theory purports that an elitist group is colluding against white French and European people to eventually replace them with non-Europeans from Africa and the Middle East, the majority of whom are Muslim. Renaud Camus often refers to this as “genocide by substitution”.

Notions of the theory date as far back as 1900, when the father of French nationalism Maurice Barrès spoke about a new population that would take over, triumph and “ruin our homeland”.

In an article for daily newspaper Le Journal, he wrote: “The name of France might well survive; the special character of our country would, however, be destroyed, and the people settled in our name and on our territory would be heading towards destinies contradictory to the destinies and needs of our land and our dead."

Renaud Camus is telling the truth. The Left is trying to destroy him because it is true.

As others have noted, the Left CONSTANTLY uses The Great Replacement Theory to tell whites that their days in power are numbered...so it’s not just us.

And by the way, the end result is OBVIOUS short of a bloodbath, just by extrapolating trends...it’s up to the Left to explain why we should not believe the raw numbers.

The Far left main stream media always promotes the narrative of the "far" right.

2 millions people, mostly men, will come across our Southern border this year.

What are we to think?

I think we'll have an abundance of roofers and landscapers.

Maybe someone can school me. WHY would the elites support a “great replacement” theory? To me it makes no sense as civilisation would eventually crumble. I am truly confused.

One of the best books I’ve ever read - prophetic in many ways.
