Federico Finchelstein: This country is changing as all countries change. We are becoming way more diverse. Replacement theory is a new name, it’s a rebranding of fascist theory and anti-Semitic theory. This is just something that belongs to extreme ideology, mythical frameworks. It works like a cult. One of the most dangerous dimensions of all this is that this fantasy, these mythical narratives, have clear political aims and clear political consequences. One of those things that these ideas I went through is the destruction of democracy.

Sam Goldman: There’s the consistent indoctrination on the one hand to create a force that is willing to carry out this type of violence, which is the only direction that really that kind of propaganda can bring is acts of that nature for people who truly believe the most despicable lies. And then on the other hand, what you were saying about the media, the non-fascist media, the role that they play in the normalization, and that that makes it a very dangerous combination that people of conscience need to cut through.
