Why is "The Great Replacement Theory" gaining so much traction?

[Luz P.]

Global fertility rates are declining. In 1952, the average global family had five children—now, they have less than three. There are a number of theories to explain this phenomenon, but most of the literature boils down to three main factors: Women’s empowerment, particularly in education and the workforce, lower child mortality, and increased cost of raising children. Higher education in women is correlated with lower fertility.

Lower fertility rates, coupled with increased life expectancies around the world, are creating an aging population. Since 1950, the global median age has grown from 25 years to 33 years. An older population comes with a number of economic risks, including rising healthcare costs and a smaller global workforce.

If we put this data in context, we can understand why The Great Replacement Theory is gaining so much traction; especially in developed countries, where most of the population is white, with low fertility rates and an aging population.

My theory is that there are some major stereotypes at play here. Seems to me that many people believe that a world led by dark-skinned people would go to hell in a handbasket.
I’m not interested in moralistic statements, but I’d appreciate it if you could share your POV on the WHY this movement is becoming mainstream.

Indoctrination.

Since Dewey, the education system has been actively indoctrinating kids in schools to be revolutionaries. This slow move to capture and warp the senses of our kids, has been relentless. Today we have millions of kids out there who honestly believe the sky is falling. That their "cause" is sufficient excuse to break the laws. Their minds are adrift in a sea of altered perceptions. Reality and truth are now subjective to these poor kids.

I thank Gawd, every morning, for my wife and her ex-soviet sensibilities. To her, right is right and wrong is wrong. There is no in between. Her intense disgust for anything that even smells of socialist ideology, has over powered the local education system for our kids, as they tend to see things from both sides and can tell truth from hokes-pokus.

Parents: Take an active roll in your children and their educations. Make time for them. Talk to them. Review their lessons with them. BE PARENTS! Instead of 2 busy working adults who have time to MAKE babies...but can't make time to RAISE babies.

1. I am perceiving a heightened volume of hyperbole coming from you on this.  'Dewey' ?  As in 'Dewey Decimal System' ?  That would definitely be a mind-bending conspiracy theory to read.  You'd probably have to go away into the woods for a little while after you read that one.
2. So you're living with a Soviet ?  Hmmm... maybe there's something else going on here ?
3. How can someone who was brought up in a Soviet education system teach their kids to see both sides ? Think, man, THINK.
4. Lunch line rules: one roll per student, and no rolls for people who spell 'role' as 'roll'
5. And above all, marry a Soviet operative for a balanced perspective on how to educate your children....

I kid, I kid...

Good thing you kid because my wife defected from Soviet Czechoslovakia, and would likely slap you for saying these things to her face. Her family were wealthy farmers in the Plzen area and were destroyed by the Soviets.

John Dewey is called the father of progressive education. Progressivism has us denying our own senses now. 2+2.

1. Who cares ?   That doesn't make her a genius on Canadian politics - far from it.
2. Well I wouldn't do that.
3. Oh well...
4. News flash: our system works and the Soviet one didn't.  Maybe getting a Soviet perspective on what's wrong with our education is misguided.  

[Boges]

The Great Replacement Theory is Racist. Full Stop. 

There's nothing particularly special about being white. Europeans had geographical advantages and subdued other cultures through colonialism. This is why "White" countries tend to be richer. 

There are no particularly successful places on Earth, currently, that don't embrace a Globalized approach. That means accepting people from other countries amongst your ranks, and intermarrying is a likely outcome. It does not make the country worse.

1. I care. She has a perspective none of us can. That's a "good" thing if...you know...the truth of things matter at all...

2. What? Slap yourself?

3. Yes...Oh well. But again...you have no idea what socialism is capable of. She does.

4. News flash: If its working so well, why are there so many disgruntled folks in Canada, the USA, France, Germany, etc...etc...etc...?

5. Is our education system working? Hmmm...tough question. Canada and the USA have very similar graduation rates...overall. Does that make sense? We here and read stories like...

2. Do tell...

3. Marine Le Pen took 42% of the French national vote. Brexit happened. Austria, Hungary, Czech, and Slovakia want nothing to do with the EU's "refugee" issues. Truckers in Canada had to be physically removed from the Capital and a bridge because they were so disgruntled...and the USA is torn in 2. I think there's enough examples...

4. Seems so...to you. I have a kid in university right now. He complains constantly, not about the work load, but about the profs. How unprepared they are. I also have a next door neighbour who used to be a gym teacher. LOL...you should here him talk about how great our school system is.

1. I lived in the Mitterrand era

2. It's a list of individual events.  It's easy to list things but it's not evidence.

3. Two anecdotes.  I'm not saying that you are wrong, just that little stories don't prove anything.

Absolutely, and uneducated children come in all "colors". Why then not focus on educating brown/black people instead of having white people fear being replaced?

I agree that it is racist but it was more than just geography. The enlightenment and industrial revolution both took place in Europe. The flexibility and technology they produced made colonialism possible. Colonialism was globalization for the benefit of the colonizer.

Here's an interesting mashup.  Listen to it without watching and see if you can pick out the Klan folks vs. the Trump Republicans...

I saw another one like that where Globalists and Leftists (but I repeat myself) were talking about how clever they were for seeing a future where the Euro based races were homogenized into a mixed glob.

Seriously there's one where this female Swedish politician is bragging about how they're won't be blondes in Sweden anymore and her party is clapping and cheering. There's a bunch like that of American democrats.

I won't spend the rest of my day looking for them, Mikey. You'll have to take my word for it or blaspheme against the prog religion and look beyond the corporate, state, and progressive media for yourself.

I can start you off. I think Tucker has one like that where he's laughing about how the progs are frothing at the mouth about how he's pushing the great replacement theory but he shows clips of where he got the idea and it was from Democrats.

[Infidel Dog]

But yeah, you can influence weak minds easy by lassoing little lame bits from here and there and presenting them as the whole herd.

Proganda shows pretending they're comedy like the unfunny Daily Show rely on it.

If I want to, Mikey, I can convince myself Canadian demographics are changing by going to the mall.

But as a progressive you wouldn't understand that. It relies on observing the obvious. That talent is something you have to leave at the door when you enter Progdom.

But yeah, Republicans, Democrats the EU and the KKK will all notice how demographics are changing and when convenient point out the bits of that obvious truth that helps their cause.

1. 2. I believe you, but I noticed that you didn't mention that it was cut with Nazis and KKK statements.

Probably wasn't, I am guessing.  The Nazis wouldn't have liked the idea of the races mixing.  I'm ok with it personally.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you had replied to my post three times!  I think you must admit it's pretty striking how they use the exact same words in many instances, that must be what upset you so much. 

I don't doubt that you are forced to look upon more brown people at your local mall. Am I supposed to be bothered by this as you seem to be? Not sure...

[Michael Hardner]

Come to think of it it's actually kind of a strange response.

The Daily Show creates a clip that shows Marjorie Taylor Green and the like using the exact same words as the KKK. And the response is that I am challenged to admit that the demographics are changing at my local mall. 

Uh... Ok... ?

[Aristides]

We replaced people when our ancestors came to North America. This country was built on immigration.

In the history of the UK, Celts were replaced by Romans who were replaced by Saxons who were replaced by Normans. It has been the way of the world since human society began. Demographics are always changing, even when people are the same colour. Back when we were all white, it was the Irish, Italians, Jews etc who were the problem.

The idea of racial purity is right out of the Nazi playbook.

The point is both the left and the right acknowledge demographics are changing and the Euro one is fading.

The difference is the political left encourages it. They boast about it. They believe it advances their cause. Even if their followers often feign indifference the fact remains the "great replacement theory" can be noticed by anybody who chooses to look. The demographic change is obvious. I continue to suggest that's why you're missing it.

I already said that I noticed that.  If that's the only arrow in your quiver then you are out of arrows.

And I pointed out another difference... The Republicans are using exact Nazi language.

If the nation becomes browner I don't care... I also don't care if it doesn't.
