These words are more dangerous than you could possibly imagine.

They form the founding principles of one of the most dangerous ideologies that you've probably never heard of. An ideology that has bred hatred and spread suspision. An ideology that has inspired its followers to pick up firearms and travel to a mosque in Christchurch, a synagogue in Poway and a Walmart in El Paso to carry out violent, murderous acts of terrorism.

What I am talking about is Identitarianism - an ideology spread primarily by a group called Generation Identity - and I want to teach you more about it.

What is Identitarianism?

Identitarianism is based on 'The Great Replacement Theory', which is the idea that native white populations are being 'replaced' by massive waves of immigration, orchestrated by a shadowy group using this policy of replacement as a strategy.

The ideology tells its followers that they must either get active or be 'replaced' by these non white - and especially Muslim - immigrants.

What is Generation Identity?

Generation Identity is the largest and most active identitarian street movement, active at the time of writing in at least 9 countries across Europe alone and with over 63 regional branches of varying sizes across the continent.

What else should you know?

A new report from HOPE not hate has uncovered the extensive world of identitarianism and Generation Identity. A big part of how we did this was by working with an undercover contact inside the organisation. Here are some of the highlights:

Generation Identity has serious links to extremism.

Our report exposes extensive and serious links between GI and extremist organisations, including For Britain, National Front, and the now-banned neo-nazi group National Action.

Generation Identity is active inside the Royal Navy.

Our informant inside Generation Identity has revealed, through thousands of leaked internal messages, two GI activists who are members of the Royal Navy, including one who claims he is imminently moving to take up a role as an engineer on a trident nuclear submarine.

Identitarianism is becoming increasingly influential amongst the North American far right.

One group, the American Identity Movement, is now active across America. Two recent massacres in the US have been inspired by identitarian ideas - the Poway Syangogue shooting and the Walmart El Paso shooting.

In Europe, identitarianism is a much broader movement than just Generation Identity.

There are other activist groups, think-tanks, websites, newspapers, bars, boxing clubs, clothing labels, publishers, ideologues and much else that support identitarianism.

The new report from HOPE not hate shows how identitarian groups are active in at least 23 countries around the world making this one of the most dangerous far-right networks currently active. Through a combination of short profiles, longer articles and maps this report goes country-by-country, giving an unprecedented overview of the whole identitarian movement, including the prominent youth network Generation Identity (GI), in Europe, North America and around the world.
