Renaud Camus Quotes

“I think replacement is an esential gesture, a change of charachter, an exchange of charachter essential to our civilization, and replacement is ofcourse also the introduction of falsity in objects and also in ideas of men, replacement is the introduction of falsity, of imitation, of copying, and the social expression of global replacism is mass negationism.”
― Renaud Camus

“Stone is replaced by concrete, literature is replaced by journalism, journalism is replaced by information, man is replaced by woman, man and woman are replaced by robots, robots are replaced by cyborgs, and maybe humanity is replaced by post-humanity or trans humanity, i do think replacement is central to the modern society.”
― Renaud Camus

“It is most significant i think, that the word discrimination which for ages has been the very name of excellence, is now a bad thing, discrimination which used to be the supreme virtue, has now become the supreme crime, one should not discriminate, ofcourse i personaly think with all the past centuries of western culture that on should always discriminate.”
― Renaud Camus

“The first form of Negationism about the second world war and the gas chambers concerns a very few people in caves, contrary to that, mass negationism is negationism which concerns absolutely everybody and everyone, all the political parties, all information, all the medias and all the people, what is happening obviously is denial and if you say that it happens, you are taken to court, fighting negationism today takes you to court.”
― Renaud Camus

“France is much more colonized than it ever colonized itself, France has not really colonized the world, it conquered, it was an imperial power, but accept in Canada in the 17th and 18th century, and in Algeria, it didn't have a very strong transfer of population, it was more like conquest, an imperial conquest, for instance in black Africa there where very few French people, there where no French cities or things like that, there was no large transfer of population, and of course transfer of population, is the very essence, since the Greeks of what colonization really was, the word colonization when it first appeared in western civilization, means the transfer of Greek people to Sicily for instance, and so France is much more deeply colonized because it's a demographic colonization.”

“There are too many Jews on the France Culture radio station,' says Renaud Camus, and he is accused of racism. But the problem lies elsewhere and goes far beyond the Jewish question. It is, more generally, that there is too much of everything everywhere. Too many people, too many places, too many images on television, 'too many notes in Mozart', too many ideas and too many words to express them - too many old people among the old, too many young people among the young. And, ultimately, the worst of it is that there's too much culture on France Culture.”
― Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories V: 2000 - 2004
