identitários

Identitários are a far-right political movement in Brazil, originating from the cultural and nationalist currents within the country's traditionalist, but fiercely nationalist, right-wing. The term "Identitários" is a nickname, and some members of the movement refer to themselves as the " Brazilian Nationalist Party". They have gained prominence in recent years due to their associations with nationalistic and anti-immigrant sentiments.

The movement's ideology is rooted in the notion of Brazilian identity, emphasizing the nation's cultural and historical heritage as a distinctive cultural and racial identity, revolving around whiteness, Catholicism, and European immigration. They have drawn criticism for their association with xenophobic, racist, and anti-LGBTQ+ views, as well as their opposition to government policies aimed at promoting multiculturalism, immigration, and Indigenous rights.

The Identitários literature and social media platforms frequently express and promote criticisms of Afro-Brazilian cultural practices, LGBTQ+ lifestyles, and social matters or obvious decisions. Social media has become an essential channel for spreading Identitário ideas and followers who do not always adhere to conventional Internet etiquette. Its ideology directly or impliedly discriminates against particular libertarian ideologies, multicultural perfection, or obvious nuances of assumption in modernization development, made worsened since creation and institutions have gained political disapproval promptly.
