The Great Replacement is Not an Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory
French author Renaud Camus has been banned from Britain. Here is the truth about one of the most lied about phrases in politics.
Britain’s Home Office has banned French author Renaud Camus from visiting the UK.
As The Telegraph reports:
In an email seen by The Telegraph, the Home Office informed Mr Camus that he had been denied the electronic travel authorisation (ETA) needed to enter Britain.
“Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good,” the email read.
Mr Camus, who is an openly gay advocate for non-violence, told this newspaper that “of all the European governments guilty” of allowing unchecked migration, “the British government is one of the guiltiest”.
“No wonder it does not want me to speak,” Mr Camus added.
Meanwhile, the Home Office cheerfully rubber-stamps record numbers of visas for foreign nationals from parts of the world, where, as Douglas Murray has written recently, copies of Mein Kampf are readily available in train stations.
This is the same Home Office which gaslights the British public by calling the Pakistani rape gangs scandal a “grievance narrative” invented and spread by “right-wing extremists”. It is the same Home Office which responded to the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 by telling the public “Don’t Look Back in Anger” — and indeed, has applied similar tactics to terror attacks since 2011. I wonder if the growth of the Home Office Islamic Network to over 700 members has influenced its policies and priorities in some way?
Perhaps if Camus had simply boarded a dinghy on the shores of Calais, set sail for Dover Beach, and claimed asylum upon arrival, he would already be put up in a five-star hotel at taxpayers’ expense. A record number of illegal migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats on a single day on the 16th of April: with 705 foreign criminals making the voyage, bringing the total for 2025 to >8,888 already — up 42% compared to this time last year
Camus would, as a gay man, have a credible claim to being oppressed in his nation of origin, given the large volume of Muslim migration that France has inflicted upon its population in the last decade. He was punished by his own parents who, upon him disclosing his sexuality, removed him from their will.
But sadly, it seems asylum is provided only to people who hate our people, culture, and Christian religion. When a polite French author wishes to visit to warn us against committing civilisational suicide, suddenly we become Fortress Britain.
What is Camus’ greatest sin?
Why, inventing the term “the Great Replacement”, of course.
Now, I am willing to bet that you have been told that the Great Replacement is an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
But, after having read the collected translated works of Camus, published by Vauban Books, let me tell you the truth.
Here is a quote from Renaud Camus' 2010 essay, coining the phrase "the Great Replacement":
“one hesitates to identify interest as the principal motor of replacist ideology and its lies, for one cannot fail to also take into consideration all of the groups that nobly support, promote, and diffuse these deceitful dogmas against their own interest, often of the most immediate kind (and who are sometimes just beginning to regret it): Jews, women, homosexuals, secularists, champions of free thought and free expression, all cheerfully busy sawing off the branches on which they sit, alongside the heralds of “diversity,” who themselves do not perceive that they are in fact only making more of the same, always more of the same, the undifferentiated universal village or rather the generalized suburb, the place where Ilan Halimi crawls in his final hour, violent, wild, deculturated, and decivilized.”
Ilan Halimi was a Frenchman of Moroccan and Jewish ancestry who was kidnapped on the 21st of January 2006 by a group called the Gang of Barbarians. Led by Ivory Coast national Youssouf Fofana, they encouraged a 17-year-old French-Iranian girl to act as a honeypot to lure Halimi to an ambush. He was gagged, bound, and ransomed for €450,000. Halimi was held for 24 days, was tortured, and had 80 percent of his body burned before being dumped, mostly naked, beside a road onSainte-Geneviève-des-Bois on 13 February 2006. A passer-by called an ambulance, but Halimi died from his traumatic wounds on the way to the hospital.
Does Camus mentioning Halimi’s appalling murder as an atrocity he wants to prevent happening to anyone else sound particularly antisemitic to you?
What about in 2012, when Camus repeated the phrase Great Replacement in a lecture he was invitied to give to the France- Israel Association, and warned them that mass immigration would import Muslim antisemitism and put their lives at risk:
"What I call the Great Replacement is the change of people, the substitution of one or several peoples for the people whose ancestral roots are there, whose history had for hundreds or thousands of years coincided with the territory in question. ...
"I might, speaking as I am before the France- Israel Association, appeal to an example that should finally convey my meaning: the Great Replacement is what would happen to Israel if, God forbid, we were to accede to the Palestinian demand for the so-called right of return. Under such conditions, could Israel remain a Jewish State, as one says?"
So Camus used the example of Israel to explain how immigration could threaten the people, culture, and future of a state.
Does this sound like an antisemitic conspiracy theory to you?
As academic Nathan Pinkoski wrote in an essay for Compact Magazine:
“In a 2012 speech to a Parisian Jewish forum, Camus quoted the question posed by Christopher Caldwell’s 2009 book Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: “Can you have the same Europe with different people?” His answer, like Caldwell’s, was “No.” Camus dubbed the demographic transformation wrought by mass migration the “Great Replacement”—a phrase that has since been invoked by mass murderers and the French president, influencing not only marginal figures but mainstream politics.”
Camus has cited the 1791 influx of Jewish immigrants to France as an example of successful migration, made possible because of their genuine love of French culture. Hence why French Jews, like academic Alain Finkielkraut (from whom Camus appropriated the term "the communism of the twenty-first century" to describe antiracist ideology) and French Presidential candidate Eric Zémmour, have praised his work.
He has entered into dialogue with France’s Jewish communities to encourage they politically organise against the immigration policies which put their lives at risk.
Had France’s political leaders listened to Camus, they wouldn’t be seeing thousands of French Jews fleeing abroad to escape imported antisemitism — with a marked increase after the Hamas massacre on October 7th 2023.
When a noted this on X, Camus wholeheartedly agreed.
So what is “the Great Replacement,” then?
The Great Replacement is simply a warning that the liberal social norms of the West come under threat when it applies a Blank Slate attitude to border control.
“A specter is haunting Europe and the world. It is replacism, the tendency to replace everything with its normalized, standardized, interchangeable double: the original by its copy, the authentic by its imitation, the true by the false, mothers by surrogate mothers, culture by leisure activities and entertainment, knowledge by diplomas, the countryside and city by the universal suburb, the native by the non- native, Europe by Africa, men by women, men and women by robots, peoples by other peoples, humanity by a savage, undifferentiated, standardized, infinitely interchangeable posthumanity. …
“The Great Replacement, as a demographic phenomenon, is a consequence of the broader logic of human replaceability: it imagines people and peoples as interchangeable units of nebulous universal humanity that are to be molded for the sake of the global market into a pliant, obedient, undifferentiated consuming blob. …
“It is perfectly logical that the ideologies of human replacement and the interchangeability of peoples should see [property rights] as an impediment and wish to reduce it, do away with it, for like races, classes, sexes, generations, levels of language and of culture, names, formality and proper distance, it is an obstacle to the industrial production of UHM, Undifferentiated Human Matter.”
The false anthropology of liberalism proposes that all human beings are fungible, interchangeable, replaceable units, fundamentally indistinguishable if not for the injustice of inequality and the happenstance of geography. If only we stockpiled everyone into one country, or made all countries an identical borderless landmass, then our latent equality would be revealed to us. If packed into the same place, given the same education and economic opportunities, and subscribe to the same universalist values, then we would become the Undifferentiated Human Matter that Camus describes.
This is a false account of human nature and culture — but it is the ideology of our ruling class. For pointing that out, in the hopes of protecting minorities like himself and his Jewish friends, Camus has been rendered an international pariah.
Advocates of mass immigration have smeared both the term and the man to try to make it impossible to discuss the disastrous consequences of mass immigration, and ensure it continues without opposition. This is why the British government has banned Camus from visiting England: because he says sensible things about immigration, which they misrepresent as antisemitic.
When I discussed this last year, YouTube removed the clip, and gave the channel a strike. Then, the lying communists at HOPE Not Hate quoted me as 'Connor Tomlinson, who has said the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory is “real”', omitting the context where I said:
The Great Replacement isn't a White supremacist antisemitic conspiracy theory
I read the English translations of @RenaudCamus' essays by @VaubanBooks
It's real
It's Blank Slate theory applied to borders
It's why we have pro-Hamas marches in Westminster
Camus had planned to address both the Homeland Party, and the Oxford Union. While I do not support the Homeland Party (and they aren’t too fond of me either), it is absurd that an author is banned from visiting Great Britain for reasons of “public interest” while the state continues to import Muslims en masse who hate white Britons and Jews in equal measure.
The Great Replacement is not an antisemitic conspiracy theory. It is the inevitable consequence of applying the false anthropology of liberalism through the lens of antiracism to Europe’s borders. Any suggestion to the contrary shows the person making the accusation either doesn’t know what they are talking about, or that they are willing to tell any insidious lie to gain political power.
