[Serious] Far right seizing COVID-19 ‘opportunity’ to expand: Study

RE: Far right seizing COVID-19 ‘opportunity’ to expand: Study
(November 22, 2020 at 2:20 pm)Rev. Rye Wrote: The use of the word "increasingly" implies that this is a very recent development. Conspiracy theories are practically the bread and butter of the alt-right, and have been for years. It's pretty much the only way they can maintain some moral high ground, whether it's the standard Cultural Marxist conspiracy theory or even something as bugfuck as QAnon.

Latching onto a figurehead who straddles the line between “even more pathological a liar than usual for politicians” and “probably can’t tell fact from fantasy” doesn’t help matters.

The theory the far right is broadcasting now is "The Great Replacement":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement

Quote:The Great Replacement (French: grand remplacement), also known as the replacement theory,[1][2] is a white nationalist far-right[3] conspiracy theory[4][5][6] which states that, with the complicity or cooperation of "replacist" elites,[a][4][7] the white French population—as well as white European population at large—is being progressively replaced with non-European peoples—specifically Arab, Berber and sub-Saharan Muslim populations from Africa and the Middle East—through mass migration, demographic growth and a European drop in the birth rate.[4][8] Scholars have generally dismissed the claims of a "great replacement" as being rooted in a misreading of immigration statistics and unscientific, racist views.[9][10]

You are correct that's not quite new: it's just the usual "Nazi mentality" evolved to match today's perspective.

That's why I always thought that targets of the far right already include "white people who are traitors -i.e in good terms with other humans"..that is so Hitler on steroids.
