You have not so far answered my question:
Which authority has determined that the ""great replacement"
conspiracy theory" is false?
You're asking a black-swan question. Who has proven that black swans
don't exist? Intrinsically counter-rational.
In addition, it's probable that nearly *all* the weird thing that
conspiracists hypothesize *exist* somewhere. There are undoubtedly
(or at least arguably) some people somewhere who ardently believe that
doing whatever they find themselves able to do will make the American electorate non-white or non-European or something and "they" can take
over. But the conspiracy theory alleges that such a project is the
work of the Democratic Party or at least a secret consortium of
liberal elites with access to the power to bring about the dread brown democalypse. Those deranged conspiracists aren't talking about Bubba
and his sister-in-law who are meeting with neighbors over Jack Daniels
in Salt Hole, Utah, on Saturday nights.
So you might throw up the latter as an existence proof, as silly as
that might be.
Cokie's Law is the axiom that says the press can pass judgement
about anything once it's "out there" regardless of whether or
not what's "out there" is true. This allows them to skip doing
boring rebuttals of the facts at hand and instead hold forth at
length about how it bears on the subject's "judgement" and the
"appearance" of wrongdoing without ever proving that what they
did was wrong. -- Digby
I will admit, the people who drove the digital revolution,
including myself, really thought that the world would get more
rational....There were a lot of them out there. They were just
not finding each other. And now, with digital tools, say: 'Oh
you think that crazy thing? Me too! Let's get together and
have a critical mass of crazy people. Let's, you know, call
ourselves QAnon.' -- Bill Gates
The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a
twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of
pals out there. Type in "Find people that have sex with goats
that are on fire" and the computer will ask, "Specify type of
goat." -- Rich Jeni
It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to
terms with stupidity and make it work for you. -- Frank Zappa
