    Can you offer a similar explanation for why you would use a term like cultural genocide? Just because that’s, again, a phrase that circulates widely on the internet, not just from you, but it’s associated with some pretty far-right perspectives on the world. So I’ll give you, again, I’m thrilled that you asked this because I’ve used it twice. I don’t know if you’re thrilled, but you’re — No — You’re OK because I’ve asked it. Because I can show how totally disingenuous my critics have been. I mostly just kind of saying this, I literally say, to troll the libs. In my book, I actually talk about something even perhaps more extreme: America, American whites as being victims of a cultural genocide. And I’m suggesting this partially, again, to troll any leftist media who might be in the room. So I was immediately taking some genuine ironic distance. I don’t actually think that we are in a cultural genocide per se. I’m trying to push people. It just seems like there are a lot of people on the right, maybe especially young people, who aren’t using “cultural genocide” just to troll the libs. When they say “the great replacement,” they don’t mean like the anxieties of a historically dominant majority in a diversifying country. They mean like evil elites are trying to replace us with immigrants in this conscious scheme. There’s a lot of that on the right. I believe the last thing — not evil elites, but I believe it’s the conscious policy of the Democratic Party to hyperdiversify the country because they perceive — and we’ll see whether it actually works out for them; the Hispanic vote suggests that maybe it won’t — But see, that’s an example. You said, “We’ll see if it works out for them.” To me, yes, clearly there has been a period in Democratic Party politics where the party decided that more immigration would lead to more Democratic votes. And I think that is understandable as a normal part of ethnic patronage politics, which is part of the American tradition, which you can be against — But — But it’s not like five guys sitting in a room saying, “We hate white people and we only want Hispanics now,” right? It just seems like the things that Democrats have plucked out and critiqued in your writings are things that are pervasive on the right stylistically speaking. Yeah, I mean, there are a few things that they dug out in their intellectual proctological exam of everything I’ve ever tweeted or written or said on a podcast that I was really like, “I shouldn’t have said that.” My bad. Like, I’m not going to defend everything I’ve said. I would also say that I have become more aware of — even though I consider tweets to be a lot less important than books and articles. They’re pretty important, Jeremy, I hate to tell you this. Yeah, well, lesson, lesson learned.
