Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I mean, I didn't read the article, but anyone can go look at the demographics over time and see that white people are having less babies, and becoming less of a majority every census. It's not a theory, it's statistical fact.
And this only matters to people who think that "whiteness" is somehow better than "non-whiteness."
Or people who know how minorities are treated and are therefore afraid to become one.
Except no one is being “replaced”. We’re all still here. And if I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt you’re merely forgetting all that goes with GRT. The supposed intentionality, the inherent value judgment, the conspiracies, the implication that it’s somehow a “problem”… the less charitable interpretation is that you’re intentionally glossing over it and pretending naivety.
Yeah, the issue is calling it "replacement" instead of a demographic shift. The replacement part makes it feel like a bad thing. It's just a natural shift that is no longer as artificially repressed by those in power as it used to be.
The issue is, do you see that as a problem? Yes, our demographic is changing, no one is denying it. To the vast majority of people, it's not a problem though.
The issue isn't one of race. It's of defeating unions by importing cheap abusable labor. The propoganda here is making it out to be racist, when it's a class issue.
The great replacement conspiracy theory is explicitly racist, not classist.
It's a cover for the class issue. Just a slapdash of paint to keep the workers from getting along.
The only ones out here trying to defeat unions are the Rs.
Are you sure about that? Or are they trying to break them in different ways?
Same difference?
The theory isn't about birth rates. The theory is that it's a nefarious purposefully planned event by the illuminati
Wait… aren’t the Illuminati supposed to be aryan overlords themselves? What on earth would they gain by losing power in the US?
That whole thing doesn’t hold together on so many different levels….
Well that bit is more about importing cheap abusable labor, and making talking about it into something that's perceived to be racist
The theory isn't the statistic. The statistic is true. The theory is that there is a concentrated effort to replace white culture, values and people. In reality, white people have just been well off long enough that our culture has shifted away from having a ton of children.
Plus, the entire premise is predicated on the idea that having fewer white people, relative to other ethnic groups, is a bad thing. It's not, but the people who give this theory the time of day are racist, so they see it as a problem. It is not.
I've seen racists online whining about media showing mixed race couples as part of their conspiracy theories. But it requires a bunch of racist assumptions to say that children there are not carrying on their parents' culture and traditions.
Good, stop right there and before you go ahead and make a fool of yourself, read it.
They're head is jammed WAY up their own ass. They post from reddthat.com which doesn't support down voting so they don't get their feelings hurt posting conservative opinions all over Lemmy. I bet they have no clue that nearly every post of theirs is universally hated if it expressed a political opinion.
Yeah I read the rest of their response and their response to another poster calling replace theory "a fact" and realized how willfully ignorant they are. I don't even need to know where they normally post.
I have a theory it's a conservative mod's alt account
That doesn't mean you're being replaced. It means demographics are changing, like they always do.
If you feel threatened by that, you do you, but I don't give a shit.
I don’t think it’s race related. If anything it’s more Idiocracy coming to fruition than anything.
How much of that is because the same racists focused on "replacement" decided that they will judge children using the same "one drop" bullshit they have always used so they can exclude more people from "whiteness?"
