National Review: Replacement Theory and Replacement Facts

I don’t write much about the Great Replacement on this website.

I agree that it is happening in some sense, but not with the over simplified version which 1.) racializes the gloabl fertility issue and 2.) blames it entirely on a Jewish conspiracy. To be crystal clear, there are secular, leftwing progressive Jews who relentlessly push for policies that are harmful for Whites, but so do all the other PMCs who share their values. Israel also has its own problem with the Great Replacement.

National Review:

“There is obviously no plan to lower the native birth rate. Without coordination, birth rates are collapsing in almost the entire world, well below replacement level in every country that is sufficiently urbanized. As native populations slow their growth, and eventually begin to decrease, immigrants to these societies may be seen less as “reinforcements” and more as replacements. But the effect is not exactly what the conspiracists allege. Because some number of Hispanic immigrants eventually identify as whites, it is actually African Americans who bear the brunt of “replacement,” such as it is. The African-American population of America is declining as the population of whites begins to stabilize or potentially increase.

The cause of this demographic shift is only partly the work of policy: a policy of allowing mass immigration. The far more consequential part of the equation is the low fertility rate of natives, a fertility rate that new immigrants are converging towards faster than ever. Unless there is an unfathomable change in our culture, even the immigrants who are supposedly replacing the natives are merely next in line to be replaced by others yet still. Their numbers will not increase relatively, as those of Irish-Catholic immigrants once did, from generations of a notably higher-than-average family size.

Americans are not being replaced so much as self-extinguishing. America’s present native population and its way of life are the enemy of America’s posterity. Perhaps it is the immigrants who should fear that joining us is a threat to the generations yet unborn.”

The Israeli version of the Great Replacement is the fear that Israel will lose its Jewish character and will be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of births among Palestinians. Israel has one of the highest birthrates in the developed world – 3.1 children per woman – but Israel’s birthrate is propped up by the ultra-Orthodox who have an incredible 6.7 children per woman. 1 in 4 Israelis will be ultra-Orthodox by 2050.

Here in the United States, secular, leftwing progressive Jews have also swallowed their own poison. Alan Dershowitz wrote The Vanishing American Jew about these negative demographic trends which have only accelerated since his book was published in 1997. Non-Orthodox American Jews are even more afflicted than evangelical White Protestants by the scourges of deracination, secularizarion, miscegenation, intermarriage, feminism, contraception, homosexuality, gay marriage, “trans,” abortion, immigration and so forth. These liberal and modernist causes have far more traction among the secular Jews who are said to be the architects of White Genocide. Over half of American Jews have a non-Jewish spouse. The truth is that Jews are breeding out and losing ethnic cohesion and becoming mixed race urbanite bugmen.
