The Conspiracy Theory At the Center of the Far Right's Violence Against LGBTQ+ People

2. It is a bizarre theory.

Recent articles suggest it started back in the 60's, but as someone who has researched Jewish history and the history of anti-Semitism, let me say, their suggestion is wrong. While it may have not had the fancy name, this conspiracy theory has been around since at least the Middle Ages in Europe. One thing some get wrong about the "Jews will not replace us" chant is they think the snowflakes are whining about Jews replacing them with other Jews, that is not what they are whining about; they believe the Jews are responsible for Civil Rights for minorities, and control immigration so they, the Jews, can replace the white people with "lesser people" they (the Jews) can more easily control. This "endgame" of the Jews is used by white nationalists to stoke fear and hate against Jews by claiming they (white nationalists and racial/ethnic minorities) have the same enemy, the Jews.
