Replacement Theory as Global Chain

Ibram X. Kendi argues that 'great replacement' is not a set of isolated conspiracy theories but a single 'chain of ideas' that recurs across nations and political movements. The same narrative is retooled to target different out-groups (e.g., immigrants in Europe, Muslims in India) and to justify authoritarian policies. — Seeing replacement theory as a unified, adaptive ideology helps explain coordinated rises in xenophobic politics and suggests common levers for countering it across democracies.
