Oligarchs are using the Great Replacement theory to target those who are resisting the emerging Technate

The “Great Replacement” theory alleges a deliberate plan to replace European culture with immigrant populations. Some argue this theory is supported by figures like Renaud Camus and Peter Sutherland however Iain Davis argues their words are often taken out of context and used to fuel xenophobic fears to the benefit of those who are pushing the world towards becoming a Technate.

Left-wing identity politics largely holds that states foist structural inequality of opportunity upon people based on their personal characteristics – such as their ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation and disability.

Identitarianism broadly stands in opposition to identity politics. Those who oppose multiculturalism perceive identity politics as a deliberate attempt to dilute or even eradicate their culture. And so identitarianism is perceived as right-wing.

These sociopolitical and philosophical concepts have a massive “influence” on our polity, public discourse and society. The right versus left paradigm is thereby created and perpetuated through the constantly reported clash between the identitarian movement and identity politics.

In the UK, the so-called far-right’s stance on immigration is said to be driven by “the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.” According to the influential global think tank the Institute for Strategic Studies (“ISD”), “The Great Replacement” theory was first coined by French writer Renaud Camus.

Those who espouse the Great Replacement theory often cite the comments of Peter Sutherland as evidence that there is a cohesive “plan” to replace European culture. Sunderland was a banker, businessman, lawyer and politician. He sat on the Bilderberg steering committee and was chairman of the Trilateral Commission European division and the European Round Table movement.

Sutherland was a member of the “Superclass,” according to David Rothkopf of the Council on Foreign Relations (“CFR”). This group influences millions globally. Rothkopf’s opinion is aligned with a branch of political science called “elite theory” which argues that wealthy oligarchs benefit society, a theory that is refuted by many.

In the House of Lords in 2012, Sutherland spoke about the need for inward migration to boost Europe’s declining population. He believed multiculturalism was necessary for society to evolve. He also noted that countries like the US and Australia better integrate migrants due to their history of being migrants themselves.
