The Great Replacement Critiqued

The Great Replacement Critiqued

 

“Replacement Theory”? Is that the worst the Republican Party can do? You call that lame-o whinge paranoia? Listen up, and I’ll show you how to really do existential dread.

For you see, in a mere 2 centuries - a measly 200 years, a blink of history’s eye - every man, woman, child, infant, fetus, embryo, and freshly conceived zygote, every one without exception will complete their life cycles, and be dead and gone. All without exception! And not only everyone now alive, but their children too. There will still be people, but they will all be somebody else’s kids.

And not only will everyone alive be replaced, our culture will also  be replaced. The people replacing us will speak different words, with different meanings, pronunciations, spelling, and grammar. Their technology will be based on science now unknown, and their economics, politics, and culture will be radically different. They will have heard of our culture, but they will misunderstand it. To them we’ll be quaint.

100% demographic turnover, plus major cultural turnover: how’s that for a great replacement? And here’s the cream of the jest: that’s normal! 100% replacement is how the biosphere works! Whoever has a problem with that has a bigger problem than immigration policy. Their problem is called the human condition.

Some blame skin tint. How superficial! No-one has white skin; everyone has white bones. It’s even funnier when they blame the human condition on the media! Or the banks! Or the Democrats! Or the Jews! Or the gays! Or the poor! But the human condition is a disaster beyond anyone’s control. It’s everybody’s problem, but nobody’s fault.

I too am troubled by the human condition; but blaming it on skin tint or religion or faction or tribe or money is petty and useless. Why bother? If you want to complain, then go big! Blame God! Or blame Nature!

Heaven and Earth are not humane; they treat people as disposable. Anyone who wants to speak to the Manager may go up to Heaven and complain to God, or go down into the ground and complain to Nature. Either will do.

“Great Replacement”? SMH. What a bunch of losers!
