Identitarianism

Identitarianism is a political and cultural movement that emphasizes the importance of national or ethnic identity. Advocates believe that a community's values, traditions, and heritage should be preserved and prioritized, often arguing that this identity should shape policies and societal norms. The movement tends to focus on protecting cultural coherence and often opposes multiculturalism or immigration, claiming these can threaten the group's unique characteristics. Critics argue that it can foster exclusivity and xenophobia. Overall, it centers on maintaining a strong sense of collective identity based on ethnicity or heritage.
