Experts have warned for years that advocates of the 'Great Replacement' & 'White Genocide' theories are driving the increasing number of far-right terrorist attacks.

The #BuffaloTerroristAttack is the latest tragic consequence of this dangerously irresponsible rhetoric.
Many academics, terrorism experts, & charities have been screaming out for action to be taken against proponents of the dangerous conspiracy theories of 'The Great Replacement/White Genocide' & 'Cultural Marxism', which inspired Anders Breivik, the NZ mosque attack & now Buffalo.
Some of these debunked conspiracies - eg 'cultural Marxism' - have been amplified & pushed in the UK & USA by both the mainstream media & by mainstream Government politicians.

Let me be crystal clear: imho, evidence is growing that dangerously divisive rhetoric makes terrorists.
