The insuppressible Tucker Carlson wasn’t the first to talk about demographic replacement. The Left low-key bragged about this “conspiracy theory” for years, but now the Fox News host is turning the issue against them. And they can’t stand it.
Before Carlson, the mainstream media narrative of America’s ongoing demographic replacement was all about “growing diversity.” This politically correct euphemism was also a lie.
Importing millions of potential new Americans from Central and South America, Asia, and Africa reinforces the all-powerful bureaucratic state amid dwindling mediating institutions based in common heritage. And when foreign notions of gun control and speech control seep unabated into domestic politics, the cost of “diversity” becomes painfully clear.
Demographics drive public opinion. That’s no bogeyman.
Pew Research Center found 71% of Hispanic voters want the government to do more to solve social problems. About the same amount, 68%, want stricter gun laws.
Asian-American groups collaborated to survey their constituents on gun control. An overwhelming 77% of Asian-Americans support gun control. If the Second Amendment is worth preserving, then it’s a bad idea to increase the electorate with more people hostile to it.
This is the point where the predictable cries of racism crescendo. It doesn’t matter that over 90% of African-Americans vote Democratic in every election going back decades now. Noticing patterns is deemed racist by those whose main concern isn’t race relations, but pattern noticing.
Now, to be clear, not all Democrat policies are popular among their typical voting demographics. Note as an example the resounding loss at the ballot in California for affirmative action last year.
The problem is as much from within as from without.
There is another lesson besides the impacts of importing demographic change. Vitally as important are the institutions, social norms, and other cultural influences that new populations are incentivized or disincentivized to assimilate to.
The weakening of mediating institutions in America coincides with the growth of the welfare-warfare state, and mass immigration compounds the problem as it feeds into this vicious cycle of undermining the social fabric.
Both an immigration moratorium and a revitalization of family, community, and mediating institutions need to take place. Decentralizing government power and decoupling away from the public education system would be good places to start.
Social power vacuums are already being filled.
Mexican drug cartels have an extensive presence in the US.
“Nine major Mexican cartels are responsible for flooding US cities with fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana, according to an annual report by the US Drug Enforcement Administration,” reports the Daily Mail.
Further migration will increase cartel recruits and overall penetration into the US. The same can be said for other corrupt forces, some even yet unforeseen, because the fact is that every other major institution in the country today, even most churches, are hollowed out by weak conservatives or captured by the left, unfortunately.
As Paul Gottfried writes, “Accelerating immigration from different cultures also furthers the state’s presence in our lives. Demographic change weakens established patterns of social interaction that might resist the state’s expanding control, such as long-standing cultural identities. Further, immigration generates conflicts that require or are thought to require the intervention of state actors.”
Tucker Carlson is doing great work, however, in turning the tide of public opinion against the imposing institutional enforcers of political correctness. His contagious laughter is helping to also spread courage against bad actors like the Anti-Defamation League, which accused him of anti-Semitism.
It was the height of irony that the ADL attacked Carlson when the organization itself defends Israel as an ethnostate. Carlson quoted the ADL’s own position back to them in full, for millions of TV viewers and millions more online.
“With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state, thus likely ending any semblance of equal representation and protection,” the ADL statement read.
Carlson continued reading from it: “In this situation, the Jewish population would be increasingly politically – and potentially physically – vulnerable. It is unrealistic and unacceptable to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory.”
There is now good reason to hope that Americans will take action to defend their sovereignty as a people. As I’ve covered time and time again, the country is breaking up over its culture wars and policy polarization in DC, but if there is to be any unity, let it be on this question of self-determination and limits of demographic overhaul.
