A Spectre Haunts Europe and the World

A spectre haunts Europe and the world. It is replacism. Europe is the first continent to pay for its own colonisation. The tendency is to replace everything with its normalised, standardised, interchangeable double: the original by its copy, the authentic by its imitation, the true by the false, mothers by surrogate mothers, culture by leisure and entertainment, knowledge by diplomas, the countryside and city by universal suburbs, the native by the non-native, Europe by Africa, the man by the woman, the man and the woman by robots, peoples by other peoples, humanity by post-humanity, undifferentiated, standardised, interchangeable.

The genocide by substitution is the crime against humanity of the twentieth-century. Of all the genetic manipulations, the Great Replacement is the worst. The question of the independence or the subjugation of a great nation, of the survival or the disappearance of a great civilisation, it is not politics: it is history.
