In 2019, an Australian national decided that he would defend European values by shooting numerous people in New Zealand, killing 57, all while live streaming it. For many, including those within media circles, this was the first they had heard of the ‘great replacement,’ the catchcry and reasoning behind the shootings.
While the anxieties and fears for many grew after this atrocious act, much of the arguments and reasoning behind it lay in a much murkier and established past. The Great Replacement as a term was coined in 2011, by Frenchman Renard Camus, as an argument against what he saw as an active takeover of European sensibilities and values, but the sentiments and reasoning that are attached to it are older, and more entrenched.
This work explores this call to arms from two points of view, one in which the perils stem from a perceived loss of culture, history and environment, and the other in which their losses stem from the absence of not only their culture, but predominantly their religious identity and value. Much of this fear comes from a confused sense of nostalgia, in which a misremembered (or a made up) past becomes the history that these groups adhere to.
