#AceBreakingNews – An online screed linked to the 18-year-old man arrested for killing 10 people in a Buffalo, New York, supermarket repeatedly referenced the racist and anti-semitic “great replacement theory.”
The theory is white supremacist rhetoric amplified in recent years by some of the loudest voices in conservative media. Several recent shootings have been motivated by belief in a “great replacement,” experts say: The conspiracy theory warns that Democrats and other Western elites are using immigration and other means to “replace” white people of European descent in the U.S. with non-white populations. Some subscribers believe it’s part of an elaborate Jewish plot.
The 180-page document linked to the Buffalo shooter said that he came to believe the white race was in jeopardy after he started browsing 4chan out of boredom at the start of the pandemic. According to the document, Payton Gendron chose to attack the people of Buffalo because the city had the highest concentration of Black people among the areas near his home in Conklin, New York: The writings mirror postings from earlier attackers who were also inspired by the “great replacement theory,” including the shooter who livestreamed his assault on a pair of mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, killing 51 people.
About 63% of the language in the Buffalo writings was copied from the Christchurch writings, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The document also invoked the accused shooter who killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in October 2018; the man who pleaded guilty to killing one person at a synagogue in Poway, California, in April 2019; and the man who was charged with killing 23 people at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, in August 2019. All three signaled support for the great replacement conspiracy theory in online posts, according to the ADL.
The most extreme, violent versions of the “great replacement” theory are found in the darker corners of the internet, such as 4chan and other fringe forums, said Michael Jensen, a senior researcher at the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.
But social media, supportive politicians and major media figures have helped the theory’s ideas spread.
“Replacement doctrine has been circulating for years, but most recently it got a makeover and amplification in mainstream politics,” said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.
The central tenets of the theory have become a mainstay on the primetime Fox News show hosted by Tucker Carlson. A recent investigation from the New York Times found that in more than 400 episodes of his show, Carlson “amplified the idea that Democratic politicians and others want to force demographic change through immigration.”
Carlson has mocked those who point out his racist rhetoric.
“I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term ‘replacement,’ if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World,” Carlson said in an April 2021 show. “But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening, actually.”
A Fox News spokesperson pointed to other on-air comments Carlson has made denouncing violence but did not offer further comment for this story.
Other right-wing influencers have promoted similar themes, including the late radio host Rush Limbaugh and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
Kirk defended Carlson’s April 2021 remarks as “factual” and months later claimed, without evidence, that President Joe Biden intentionally let Afghanistan fall to the Taliban as a pretext for admitting more migrants and “chang(ing) the body politic permanently.”
“It takes only a couple mouse clicks for a curious viewer to get from Tucker Carlson to 4chan.”
