Zuschauerzahlen von Fox News hängen mit dem Glauben an eine rassistische Verschwörungstheorie zusammen | Weiße Amerikaner, die ihre politischen Nachrichten regelmäßig von Fox News erhalten, unterstützen die Great Replacement Theory viel stärker als diejenigen, die den Sender nicht sehen.
Fox News viewership linked to belief in a racist conspiracy theory

Do people who are active members in the Klan also tend to be more racist?
i guess sometimes science needs to empirically verify the things which we can plainly see with our own eyes, which i respect
this is like saying churchgoers are more likely to believe in God, though
As a white guy, I’ve never understood why some people think I should care about there being proportionally fewer white people in America.
I wonder how this study would apply to the content on X now.
People who frequent the racist slop trough tend to have more racist slop in them
For a minute, I thought this was the NoShitSherlock sub.
I dont know exactly what the “great replacement theory” is (who invented it?, what exactly does it postulate?, do adherents all agree/understand its meaning?) But the idea that the current ethnic mix of every western country is rapidly changing due to political and judicial policies/decisions on immigration is unarguable. Compare and contrast to countries like Japan which make it almost impossible to naturalize.
People who live in the city have less kids. That’s it.
Since 2007, the majority of the world’s population lives in the urban environment.
You want more children? Build a small town/rural economy that isn’t just an extension of the urban economy.
Is anyone surprised? It’s identity politics for old whites
People who consume propaganda network are moved by the propoganda. News at 11.
Simply pointing out that racism is alive and well post civil rights movement in the U.S. makes many white people uncomfortable (talking from personal experience as a non white person). Having quantitative and empirical evidence makes it more difficult for people to argue that racism is no longer an issue in America
Swimming linked to increased saturation of water. WOW.
They built a strawman, lit it on fire then attacked it.
Hard to be a shittier or more hypocritical American than a Republican these days.
Fork found in kitchen
You mean that by voluntarily consuming a racist conspiracy media over a long period of time makes you more susceptible to racist conspiracies? Who knew.
This isn’t science. This is politics dressed up as science.
Great replacement isn’t racist or conspiracy, though.
>To measure belief in the conspiracy theory, the survey asked respondents to rate their agreement with three statements on a five-point scale. The first statement proposed that immigrants invade and colonize the country. The second stated that native-born Americans are losing economic, political, and cultural influence due to growing immigrant populations. The third alleged that secret actors are actively working to ensure foreigners replace real Americans.
Okay, the first two questions are written in an incendiary manner, but they both reflect merely observations of actual demographic trends. During the Biden Administration, over 10 million migrants entered the country illegally. You can debate on the use of invasion or colonization, but that’s mere semantics, by any standard that’s a huge mass of people entering the country illegally bringing about a lot of sociocultural changes with them.
The second question is an obvious reality: the greater the migrant population, the smaller the share and influence of the native-born population will be. It’s simple arithmetic. If you grow the denominator while the numerator stays the same, the proportion falls.
Only the third question is even suggestive of a conspiracy theory, but even then, it’s written in a dubious way. I mean, Joe Biden said in 2015 „Folks like me who are Caucasian of European descent for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America. Absolute minority. Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white, European stock. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a source of our strength“.
He’s not a secret actor, but he was in a position of power and openly celebrated white Americans being put into the minority through migration. It’s not exactly a secret when the previous president, who presided over an unprecedented increase in legal and illegal migration, is on the record as celebrating the demographic changes that migration brings.
To my mind, this study is designed to produce the results the researchers wanted to produce through biased questions and a biased scale, intending to produce exactly the headlines that will be promoted by one side of the political aisle.
Branding any belief as “racist” surely show how unbiased this study must have been…
Define the Great Replacement Theory.
> It proposes that powerful elites are deliberately relaxing immigration policies to flood the United States with foreigners. Adherents believe these undocumented immigrants will serve as an obedient voting block to keep progressive elites in power indefinitely. The theory claims this process will ultimately replace native-born white citizens and strip them of their political, economic, and cultural dominance.
So, only a conspiracy theory attached to „elites“? What about Democrat politicians? Does it not include the common Democrat sentiment of *praising* a decreasing white populace and *desiring* „white conservative culture“ being diminished? Not Democrats themselves saying how many foreigners will be in their voting block?
I mean, what else is reporting on a decreasing white populace from proponents of such meant to convey? It’s Democrats constantly leveraging minority races as being in their camp.
What is the conspiracy theory, and what is just the reality of such outcomes that seem quite politically motivated?
This study brought to you by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
What always baffles me about “The Great Replacement Theory” is how none of the people that believe in it actually want to do anything beyond get non-whites out of the country. Like, no talk of making having a family cheaper or easier or anything like that.
Not much of a theory at this point
PhD from Liberty doesn’t really showcase critical thinking
I remember my parents talking to me about it in the 90s. They made it sound so terrifying. I, as a 30-something, couldn’t figure out what the big deal was.
Might be because FOX openly promotes the white replacement theory.
