      1. Self-styled centrists can never be anti-fascist because their core commitment is to being critical of "both sides" (even if one side consists of racist murderers and the other of the milkiest of milquetoast liberals).https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1528067616362967043 …

      2. In the wake of a mass shooting rooted in anti-Black racism, we're seeing a lot of "both sides do it" from people who pride themselves as independent non-partisan actors (Greenwald, Mounk, Sullivan), all dishonestly conflating banal sociology with conspiracy theories.

      3. The conflation is between the idea that demographic change results in social/political change (almost a truism) and the conspiracy theory that a hidden cabal (often coded as Jews) are using immigration to commit white genocide. Those are not the same thing.

      4. Making observations about demographic change isn't the Great Replacement for the simple reason that demographic change is an inevitable feature of all human (and animal!) societies. A species whose members die & reproduce will have demographic change.

          5. Over at @thenation I spoke with @EoinHiggins_ about Greenwald's particular dishonesty in this debate but what we say applies to the broader "both-sides" community.https://www.thenation.com/podcast/politics/tucker-carlson-glenn-greenwald/ …

          The thing about demographic change is the only reason it might benefit democrats is because of how committed to white supremacy republicans are. Conservatives who might vote red are forced to go blue because the party wants them dead and without human rights.

          You’re conflating that right wingers’ version of GRT is considered an intentional plot to makes whites a minority and on the left whites becoming a minority is just seen as a good outcome of policies Neither side disagrees about the demographic shift itself

          "Making observations" lol. How about cheering on demographic change to destroy the GOP? As you have done relentlessly.

          Why does demographic change “destroy the GOP,” Andrew?

          Are you saying immigration policy has no effect on demographic change? Seems doubtful. The change we are undergoing is the result of deliberate policy, whether for good or ill.
