The Great Replacement

Comparing people of different races to manatees and house cats? Is that how different you see people because of their race? This could be the problem.

 

Understanding metaphors requires higher level, abstract thinking. Is that not something we should expect from you?

 

What did The Donnas do to deserve this treatment? They weren't the best band, but they were kind of fun. Unfortunately, they have now been replaced and Ukraine is apparently after them.

 

I was going to go there, but I wasnt sure if anyone would remember a one hit wonder from the early/mid aughts

 

I love the irony in "Too Hot," it makes my day.

 

*Pushes up hipster glasses* I saw them play a small venue before they were famous for a year.

 

Is that a no? Because it doesn't appear like you understand irony either.

 

Ukraine also had a large Jewish population once. I'm 1/4 Ukraine Jew. Most were driven out by WWII, but some, like Zelensky, stayed. Speaking of Zelensky, he was elected as a reformer, to root out Russian corruption, and bring western style democracy to the country. You are believing Russian propaganda if you think otherwise.

As for Israel, it's unique. And maybe wasn't the best of ideas. There were many Jews against the creation of a Jewish state back in the 1940s, because they predicted exactly what is happening today. Israel becomes the target of antiemetic hate and will be constantly fighting wars and staving off terrorist attacks just to survive. What's done is done, and we can't change it now, but Israel now carries as much blame as anyone. Golda Mier famously said there will be peace when Palestinians love their children more than they hate Jewish children. I wonder how Israelies feel today? Judging by the number of civilians they have killed recently, hard to say.

Back here domestically, we were supposed to be different. De Tocequeville's "City on a Hill." A radical idea of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. And who are "the people." Americans. No specified race or religion is mentioned in the Constitution. And in fact, in Jefferson's letter to the Dansbury Baptists, Jefferson specifically mentions several non-Christian groups that have equal protection under the law when it comes to freedom of religion.

Have we lived up to this ideal? Not even close. Too many black marks to mention here, but still, even with our checkered past, the over arching progress has been moving towards the ideal that all people are created equal, with equal protection under the law. Yes, there have been many struggles against the George Wallace's of the country, but in the end, we have moved towards freedom and equality.

Now here comes Trump, who is parroting the great replacement racist, fascist BS. Trump even used the phrase, "poisoning the blood!" This is not what America is supposed to be about. Allowing the US to become another Fascist failed state would be the end of the great experiment, and we will no longer be the city on the hill, but instead, a giant dumpster fire with the stench of Trump stain all over it.

 

That second paragraph is abject ignorance.

“Stay Jewish just like Japan wants to stay Japanese”

Japan is 99% Japanese.

Israel is 30% Arabic/Muslim/other, and is home to the holiest Muslim site in the world outside of Saudi Arabia, and the place where Jesus died and rose. But yeah, it only wants to be Jewish.

 

If Christians have true interest in spreading their faith, then I suggest they start behaving like Christ. Spreading faith by means of power and politics is a road to something that looks nothing like "the Way". I'd suggest starting with the Sermon on the Mount.

 

It still an interesting point about certain countries that enjoy a homogeneous population.
There are many countries that no one picks on that are…according to many libbies, racist. South Korea, Japan, Finland, Austria…and they make it difficult to become citizens.
Perhaps America isn’t racist at all and just behaving as humans always have.
People enjoy being around folks similar to themselves.

 

No, I support abolishing the priesthood and religion, that would eliminate lots of pedos who like marrying children and/or fondling boys

 

The percentage of Americans who consider themselves Christian has been dropping for decades. It's a function of Americans losing interest in religion much more than they're being replaced.

Atheists and Islam are in bed together? How ...?

 

The foundation of "replacement theory" is racist. It is the notion that a country belongs to a race and that the rightful owners of a country are being "replaced" by people of other races. Why do you think it is the foundational theory in the manifestos and ideology of the Christchurch shooter, the El Paso shooter, and the Buffalo shooter? Were those folks racist? Why do you think you can believe the same things that they do but not be a racist?

 

As still the largest religion in the world--comprised of every color and race on the planet, and in every continent--"spreading the faith" doesn't appear to be an issue.

The concern here, is the cultural fruits of Christianity, which--some appear to maintain--may be subject of a concerted effort to replacement by...folks with no such taint.

Does anyone actually hold that cultural heritage is disposable?

If so, let us begin with such proponent's cultural heritage....let's see if they maintain that belief, when their own is in the cross hairs....

(speaking figuratively and rhetorically here--in case it may be inferred otherwise).

 

Let's get rid of the commies first.

Send them to commie lands, let them taste of that which they pine for.
