‘Far-right’ Populist French candidate makes taboo term his mantra
Altered headline mine. [AlAhram] Two words, taboo for many in La Belle France because they evoke a conspiracy theory embraced by white supremacists, have been haunting the French presidential campaign.
``Great replacement'' rolls off the tongue of presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, an outsider with views to the right of the far-right who has made the term the underpinning of his campaign. But when mainstream conservative presidential candidate Valerie Pecresse pronounced them at her first major rally last weekend, politicians and pundits screamed foul, saying she had crossed a red line.
Overton Window moved. The ''great replacement'' is the false claim
...for a given value of false that means true, but we won’t admit it... that the native populations of La Belle France and other Western countries are being overrun by non-white immigrants colonists _ notably Moslems _ who are allegedly supplanting, and one day will erase, Christian civilization and its values.
