National interest is now code for people who believe in #replacementtheory... unlikely that something #TACO-ish will happen w/ this.

The pissant administration is banning people of colour from these 12 countries... https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-travel-ban-1.7552797 #racism #trumpistan #notaleader

For a party comprised of folks so caught up on #ReplacementTheory, you’d think they’d take care to not do the exact thing they are worried about. Complete and total hypocrites.

Move your people to a small town, have them vote to over control, remove the rights of residents to continue using their property. https://m.ai6yr.org/@cookiesinheaven/114593226128609553

Activist and legal scholar Michele Goodwin claimed on MSNBC that President Donald Trump’s plan to #incentivize women into having #children is motivated by a “fear of the browning and blackening” of the country.

Goodwin, a Georgetown law professor and author of Policing the Womb, joined Velshi on Saturday and claimed that potential plans from the White House to incentivize more child #birth are motivated by “child labor” and “#ReplacementTheory.”

Worrying long read from Harry Shukman on his year as undercover agent 'Chris' with the far right, on behalf of Hope not Hate.

In a 3 hour long interview on Joe Rogan's podcast on Elon Musk says that "the fundamental weakness of western society is empathy".

This from the guy who wears kevlar to every public appearance while carrying his son on his shoulders.

He justifies shutting down all government support services under the auspices of rooting out fraud by equating Social Security to a "Ponzi Scheme", claiming that social welfare itself is fraud.

I did not hear the 3 hour podcast, but I am sure you won't hear him mention the $40 billion in government subsidies he himself receives, personally.

He also speaks a lot on replacement theory, the idea that white Americans (aka European immigrants) are being displaced by immigrants (of colour).

Such as all those "not American" Indigenous people who were swept up in ICE raids along with US citizens of Mexican descent.

This is the whole basis of the idea that DEI is somehow not merit based, and that acknowledging potential in anybody who is not heteronormal, white, and male means replacing jobs with diverse people in the place of "the only qualified" white men. When in fact DEI does nothing but give other people the opportunity to compete and show their merit and qualifications, without being blocked from competing by discrimination, allowing employers to see a fuller and more diverse talent pool to choose from.

Let's look at the most common "proof" of DEI "replacement" that's claimed, which goes something like this: "I saw an employment ad but was not allowed to apply because the application was closed to non-DEI applicants. They are literally only giving jobs to trans weirdos, gays, refugees, and illegals."

No, that job was closed to non-DEI applicants because they ALREADY had plenty of applications and resumes from such applicants, which did not reflect the same diversity of people in their community. They are encouraging more diverse people to apply, NOT throwing away the resumes of the non-DEI applicants who have already applied.

Inclusion is NOT exclusion, and including a diverse demographic is not "replacing" the hetero-normal white men whom you believe to be the only "qualified" applicants.

When MAGA-following corporations "eliminate" DEI, what they are doing is taking away the jobs of qualified individuals because they're Black or Indigenous, or because they're genderqueer, because they're women holding "a man's job", or because they're disabled and doing a job which they can excel at. That's called discrimination.

As an Asian-Canadian, for you to suggest that the only reason I got my job, which I have over 20 years of experience in, is because I checked a "Visible Minority" checkbox on my application, is incredibly insulting and just downright wrong.

Possibly I might have been left unemployed without that checkbox, but it is certainly NOT the reason I was awarded a position. If somebody fired me because the government has taken away DEI protections and they claim I got my job illegitimately, that is discrimination and grounds for wrongful dismissal.

“We’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on,” Musk said, borrowing the term from Gad Saad, a Canadian scholar who is also a frequent Rogan host.

While Musk said he believes in empathy and that “you should care about other people,” he also thinks it’s destroying society.

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Empathy, he said, has been “weaponized.” It's an important thing to remember as Musk turns his crusade toward the US government. While President Donald Trump has said cuts will not touch safety net programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, except to root out fraud, Musk made clear during the interview that he believes that the concept of Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.”

During a three-hour interview with the podcaster Joe Rogan released February 28, Musk talked about his deeply held belief in the conspiracy theory that Democrats are working to import as many undocumented immigrants as possible so that they can take over the US government forever. “If they had another four years, they would legalize enough illegals in the swing states to make the swing states not swing states,” Musk told Rogan. “They would just, they would be blue states. Then they would ... win the presidential; they’d win the House, the Senate and the presidency.”

It's a wild idea along the same lines as the debunked “replacement theory.” And there are many factual holes in the theory, starting with the fact that it’s illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections and there’s no direct pathway to citizenship for people who enter the country illegally.

It's been known for quite some time that racism is why Trump is so popular among Republicans. Ever seen stories about #WhiteSupremacists and #ReplacementTheory and #ProudBoys? We barely, if ever, heard about those until #Trump showed up on the scene.

#Trump and the #GOP have made racism and misogyny and religious bigotry into their official party platform, aided by their Supreme Courtesans.

This is why #Republicans keep harping on about the #GreatReplacement #ReplacementTheory conspiracy.

Just like they couldn't stop their sons and daughters reproducing with Black slaves, they can't stop them falling in love with brown Dreamers.

They know their #fascist #racist values are being replaced.

This is why they are desperate to disenfranchise people of their #VotingRights, strip them of #citizenship, deport them, and close the borders. (and ban #abortion)

Elon Musk, Twitter's owner, himself an immigrant, makes it clear that he considers all Jews enemies of the U.S. who bring in "hordes of minorities."

It's time to deport this racist.

Italian outcry over Lollobrigida 'ethnic replacement' remarks - BBC News
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65324319

"Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida said: "Italians are having fewer children, so we're replacing them with someone else."

"That's not the way forward," he added.

Mr Lollobrigida is from the same far-right party as Ms Meloni and he is also her brother-in law."
