He is best known for his role as progenitor of an extreme far-right conspiracy theory called "The Great Replacement."
In French: "Le Grand Replacement"
In his 2011 book, "The Great Replacement," Camus argues "replacist" elites are exploiting a decline in White birth rates in France, & Europe more broadly, to replace the White population of Europe w/ non-European peoplesâthrough a combination of mass migration and miscegenation.
Basically, it's a "White genocide" conspiracy theory, and it's popular.
Renaud Camus: âThe great replacement is very simple." [...] âYou have one people, and in the space of a generation you have a different people.â (2011)
"On August 11th, the Unite the Right procession marched through the campus of the University of Virginia. [...] They didnât know that their rhetoric had been imported from France, like some dusty wine." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/04/the-french-origins-of-you-will-not-replace-us

" Eight out of the 10 most influential accounts for the Twitter discussion around the Great Replacement are French[...]. The two non-French accounts on the list are the extreme-right site Defend Europa &, horrifyingly, the president of the United States." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/14/strange-tale-an-unlikely-racist-slogan-that-went-viral-lethal-effect/
"HervĂ© le Bras, a director emeritus at the Institut National dâĂtudes DĂ©mographiques[...] said that Camusâs proclamations about ethnic substitution were based on wildly inflated statistics about the number of foreigners entering France." Chatterton Williams, 2017.
"Afterward, Camus breezily responded on Twitter: 'Since when, in history, did a people need âscienceâ to decide whether or not it was invaded and occupied?'" Chatterton Williams, 2017.
"Although [Camus'] arguments are scarcely available in translation, they have been picked up by right-wing and white-nationalist circles throughout the English-speaking world." Chatterton Williams, 2017.
"In July, Lauren Southern, the Canadian alt-right Internet personality, posted, on YouTube, a video titled 'The Great Replacement'; it has received more than a quarter of a million views." Chatterton Williams, 2017.

Eric Kaufmannâs ( @epkaufm) book includes a literal fertility map...
This assertion is at the crux of Kaufmannâs central thesis and it is entirely false. Itâs part of why his book is so ridiculous.
Hereâs some countervailing evidence: https://twitter.com/ifthedevilisix/status/1150859545553657859?s=21

I should add this:
Islamophobia is absolutely fundamental to this theory as well. Camus specifically warns about Muslim immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East. https://twitter.com/ifthedevilisix/status/1143874537265782784?s=20

Richard Lynn is mentioned very briefly in this @SamHarrisOrg interview.
Richard Lynn is a White supremacist eugenicist. He is cited 22 times in @charlesmurray's book. https://foetoprinces.com/2019/08/25/the-bell-curve-selected-bibliography

On March 12, 2014, Paul Ryan went on Bill Bennett's conservative radio show and endorsed the work of Charles Murray.
This brings me to our next topic...

"Endnote 3: The Origins of Conservatism"
Here's my central argument about modern conservatism: It's pretty much always been amenable to fascism. https://twitter.com/ifthedevilisix/status/1130453091441139713?s=20
The National Review published a glowing review of Jean Raspail's *Camp of the Saints* in 1975.
As of July 24, 2019, @NRO is still publishing the writings of Jason Richwine.
Remember how I mentioned Paul Ryan's endorsement of Charles Murray's *The Bell Curve*?
Well, Murray's co-author on that book, Richard J. Herrnstein, wrote a positive review of Jared Taylor's white nationalist book, *Paved With Good Intentions* (1992).
Well, Murray's co-author on that book, Richard J. Herrnstein, wrote a positive review of Jared Taylor's white nationalist book, *Paved With Good Intentions* (1992).
Richard J. Herrnstein on white nationalist Jared Taylor's book: "Let us hope that this important book does not itself become another victim of the conspiracy, and that it gains the visibility and attention it deserves."
Kris Kobach is also in close proximity to Jared Taylor https://twitter.com/ifthedevilisix/status/1159608630007783434?s=21

. @prageru sharing fascist propaganda:
"Miller returns to the subject of nonwhite immigration on Sept. 6, 2015. He sends McHugh a link to a tweet from conservative pundit @davidfrum that reads, 'Half of all violent crime in Germany committed by 'foreign youths.''â https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/11/12/stephen-millers-affinity-white-nationalism-revealed-leaked-emails
"Miller sends a link to a Vox article suggesting that SAT scores have dropped in part because of the inclusion of more 'poor and nonwhite students' than in previous years. Miller then suggests Breitbart take a look at 'The Camp of the Saints.'"
"Miller suggested McHugh draw information from an American Renaissance article in early July 2015, she told Hatewatch. McHughâs recollection is backed up by emails appearing to refer to that article, which focused on a favorite topic of Millerâs in the emailsâ interracial crime."
