A white supremacist movement has built up a transnational network of hatemongers. How best to respond? “The great replacement” is a term popularised by the French author Renaud Camus to denote the gradual destruction of western civilisation by mass immigration. Given the differences in birth rates between white people and the non-white population, so the argument goes, it is only a matter of time before the latter outnumber and crush the former. The concept has been a touchstone for European far-right groups such as Pegida, and was cited by the alleged gunman in the recent mass murder in Christchurch. These groups’ counterparts in the US subscribe to the “white genocide” theory, which is pretty much identical. This deranged credo is unmistakably an incitement to violence, and there is every reason to believe that the threat is real. In recent years a number of deadly attacks have been perpetrated by avowed white supremacists in the Anglo-Saxon world.

Structured like a primer – part glossary, part who’s who – it situates the loose-knit tendency known as the “alternative right” within the broader context of American conservatism. Hawley explains that the movement’s fixation on race puts it at odds with mainstream conservatism, particularly on issues relating to Christianity, fiscal policy and abortion. “According to the Alt-Right,” he writes, “conservatives obsess over tax cuts, deregulation, and other small bourgeois concerns, but they fear tackling demographic questions, which the Alt-Right consider existential.” Conservatives who espouse racial tolerance are seen as complicit in “a quiet campaign of genocide by encouraging nonwhite immigration, interracial relationships, low white birth rates, racial guilt, and the denigration of white culture”. Social media is again under the spotlight after the Christchurch gunman was able to live-stream the attack on Facebook Continue reading…
