Tara McCarthy

Tara McCarthy (née Tarasita Hanrahan) is a British-American white supremacist, neo-Nazi, anti-Semite, homophobe, and former YouTube vlogger who promoted alt-right political ideology on her Reality Calls podcast, whose goal was to "help make ethno-nationalist views more socially acceptable". McCarthy wants to establish a white ethnostate, explicitly endorsing violence if necessary; she frequently co-hosted Brittany Pettibone's Virtue of the West podcast. If you were looking for runon sentences, racial pseudoscience, and overt bigotry, you've found your gal.
Though at one time a prolific content creator, McCarthy has been largely person non grata since late 2017, aside from briefly popping up in August 2018 to complain about being banned on iTunes.http://web.archive.org/web/20170915203008/https://realitycallsshow.com/my-podcast-has-been-banned-from-the-itunes-store/https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/9au9sb/tara_mccarthy_is_back/ Her multiple Twitter accounts have been deleted (as have her Patreon and BitChute), she hasn't posted to Gab since December of that year, and her YouTube channel (which had over 51,000 subscribers and 298,000 views) has been wiped of all content. McCarthy's main website and blog was suspended and went offline in September 2020.http://web.archive.org/web/20200927202840/https://realitycallsshow.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi She also deleted her second website.http://web.archive.org/web/20200801170402/http://www.irreplaceablebook.com/
==Before finding fascism==
Prior to 2015, McCarthy identified as a left-wing vegan (against procreation) activist; for example, she appeared on a video "Why I'm not Having Kids" while discussing her veganism.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqR-phb3Wkk At some point in 2015, McCarthy completely flipped 180 degrees on all her views to become an alt-right conspiracy theorist. Completely forgoing feminism, antinatalism, and her former left-wing beliefs, she now spends much of her time obsessing over white birth rates and telling white people to have more kids, while creating extremely ignorant and racist content. In addition to being a racist crank, she is also homophobic and transphobic.
==Race==
===Racialism===
McCarthy believes that human "races" are in fact subspecies and race mixing is "borderline bestiality". (see also , http://ruddydarter.blogspot.com/2017/09/douglas-murray-and-fetid-swamps-of-far.html In particular, McCarthy believes that black people are an entirely different subspecies from the rest of humanity and are unsuitable for Western civilization. As the racialism article documents, these claims are laughable. The scientific consensus among biologists is there are no human races; no competent geneticist argues that humanity has subspecies. Simply put, there's not enough variation between human populations to make this claim, nor are human populations (with very few exceptions) geographically isolated.
McCarthy has a poor understanding of science. She has commented that racists such as Edward Dutton and Emil Kirkegaard are "great scientists to follow."https://twitter.com/realitycalls8/status/1088106787256090625
As a result of her pseudoscientific beliefs, McCarthy believes that nonwhites are inferior to whites.
===Ethnonationalism and genocide===
McCarthy claims that white people have a right to forcibly remove all nonwhite people from the United States, with methods including both threatening and killing nonwhite people.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYqua6MhbSohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSxrAfmHyGMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtcDXSvst54 In response to the European refugee crisis, McCarthy stated that she hopes that "zero" migrants crossing the sea to Europe "make it alive".https://twitter.com/4lternate_facts/status/973339752161271808
Ironically, McCarthy is not fully European but has some recent Indian ancestry. This has caused some in the white nationalist movement to disavow her as 'impure'.https://theroperreportsite.wordpress.com/2017/04/02/impurity-spiral-jared-taylor-invites-proudly-mixed-race-woman-to-be-speaker-at-amren-2017/ In fact, she is willing to self-deport if only pure Europeans were allowed to live in Europe:Q&A with Tara McCarthy [9th Aug 2017 from min 44
In addition, McCarthy's ancestry is partly Jewish, which she tried to sugar-coat by calling herself a "fourth generation holocaust survivour".
===Fearmongering over white birth/fertility rates===
Despite formerly being an antinatalist arguing that procreation is immoral, McCarthy now wants "ethnic Europeans" to increase their birth/fertility rates by promoting a doomsday scenario on her website that white people will be almost extinct by 2300Reality Calls Show: Start Here and blames feminists for attacking what she calls the "traditional family".
====Misuse of overpopulation====
McCarthy misuses overpopulation as an argument to increase the fertility rate of Europeans because most countries (but not all, e.g. Japan) outside Europe have higher fertility rates:
Her hypocrisy was exposed by a real opponent of overpopulation who pointed out to her it makes zero sense to want to increase European fertility levels if she was genuinely concerned about overpopulation:
==Women==
===Sex and Marriage===
McCarthy claims that banning sex outside marriage would prevent grey areas of rape and consent, because marriage automatically confers consent (and presumably marital rape doesn't exist):
===Alt-right feminism===
Despite admiring fascism and wanting to ethnically cleanse the Western world to create an ethnostate, McCarthy doesn't seem comfortable with following fascism to its full conclusions when it comes to women's rights. Many women in the alt-right, including Tara McCarthy, have claimed to have been harassed by "low status anonymous trolls" complaining about womz speaking on their behalf and pestering them to have a million white babies.https://www.buzz.ie/news/alt-right-women-sick-sexism-from-alt-right-men-264332 
Naturally, a lot of alt-righters didn't appreciate McCarthy's defense of women's autonomy and their role in politics on her Twitter account and accused her of spreading drama and attempting to divide their movement which itself advocates dividing people. She tentatively privated her Twitter account and deleted these tweets after this backlash.https://www.avclub.com/alt-right-women-discover-that-bitter-racists-are-also-1821030509
==Conspiracy theories==
*McCarthy has stated that Jews are secretly planning mass immigration into white-majority nations.
*In 2017, McCarthy accused the Anti-Defamation League of "terrorism". The ADL has identified her as a racist hate preacher.
McCarthy also appears to claim that gay pride parades are rife with naked sex, supporting a Pol News Network post.
==Guest appearances==
In 2017, Professor Adam Perkins, lecturer in the Neurobiology of Personality at King's College London, made an appearance on McCarthy's show. Perkins later stated that he deeply regretted the appearance.
Emil Kirkegaard appeared in McCarthy's YouTube video "IQ And The Future Of Eugenics".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT4GMu_bFOE
McCarthy has been interviewed with the likes of Richard Spencer,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deaoQpkCde8 Andrew Anglin,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fclCPp9iIfs Styxhexenhammer666,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTw47MTlO1w Black Pigeon Speakshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94oqYvoZ5Z8 and Jordan Peterson.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KWXdDYEz10
==Bibliography==
McCarthy was at one point working on a book, Irreplaceable: How And Why We Must Save The West, to be published by Castalia House. The book claimed to be "Designed To Be Normie Friendly So You Can Use It To Red Pill Friends" and "Includes Tips On Living An Alt Right Life". The official website gave a 2018 release date. As of 2020, no such book has been published.
