Renaud_Camus:
Jean Renaud Gabriel Camus is a French novelist, conspiracy theorist and white nationalist writer. The conspiracy theory supposes that "Replacist elites" are colluding against the White French and Europeans in order to replace them with non-European peoples-specifically Muslim populations from Africa and the Middle East-through mass migration, demographic growth and a drop in the European birth rate; a supposed process he labeled "Genocide by substitution." To promote his theory, Camus participated in two conferences organised by Bloc Identitaire in December 2010 and November 2012. In 2017, French essayist Alain Finkielkraut caused controversy after he invited Camus to debate the "Great Replacement" on the literary talk show Répliques at the public radio France Culture. Finkielkraut justified his choice by arguing that Camus, who "Is heard and seen nowhere, has shaped an expression that we hear everywhere."On 9 November 2017, Camus founded, with Karim Ouchikh, the National Council of European Resistance, an allusion to the WWII French National Council of the Resistance. One editorial, signed by Frédéric Mitterrand, Emmanuel Carrère, Christian Combaz or Camille Laurens, defended Camus in the name of free speech, while another, signed by Jacques Derrida, Serge Klarsfeld, Claude Lanzmann, Jean-Pierre Vernant or Philippe Sollers, contended that racism and antisemitism, as allegedly displayed by Camus in his diary, are not entitled to this freedom. "Demographic substitution," Finkielkraut said to The Nation in 2019, is "Not a conspiracy theory," but he dismissed Camus' frequent talk of "Genocide by substitution." Éric Zemmour, a French conservative journalist of Sefardi Jewish descent, is one of the most prominent mainstream advocates of Camus' theory. Political scientist Jean-Yves Camus and historian Nicolas Lebourg have noted that, contrary to its parent the white genocide conspiracy theory, Renaud Camus' "Great Replacement" does not include an antisemitic Jewish plot, which is, according to them, a reason for its success. French journalist Yann Moix, who had accused Camus of being an anti-Semite in 2017, was fined €3,000 by a French Court of Appeal for libel on 13 March 2019.
