On the Great Replacement

 On the Great Replacement

 

I hear that there are some on the political right who fear a racial Great Replacement. To them I say: why worry about skin tint? That’s trivial. We’ve got much worse problems than that.

For note: in the future, before a mere 200 years pass, every man, woman, and infant child now alive will be dead; and so will all of their children. There will be people alive in the 23rd century, but all of them will be other people’s kids.

What’s more, the people of the 23rd century will have culture, language, beliefs, politics, economics and technology radically different from ours. Some of the old ways will persist, but practiced by different groups; and the boundaries between groups will be different.

So... complete demographic and cultural replacement, by the 23rd century! How’s that for a Great Replacement? Forget trivialities like skin tint; this goes down to the bone. (And remember; nobody has white skin; everybody has white bones.)

And here’s the cream of the jest; what I’ve just described is nothing other than the human condition. Complete demographic replacement well within two centuries is normal. That’s how the biosphere works.  And culture also turns over, given enough time. Those who have a problem with that have a problem with the nature of existence.

Well, I too have that problem; but blaming existential absurdity on skin tint or religion or politics or sex or money is petty and useless. Why bother? If you want to complain, then go big! So here goes:

Heaven and Earth are not humane; they treat people as disposable.
