Replacement: The Deadliest Conspiracy

Since Anders Breivik’s deadly attack in Norway in 2011, the conspiracy theory that inspired his violence–the Great Replacement Theory–has soared in popularity among the far-right in the United States and Europe. Claiming that Western elites are deliberately replacing native white populations with non-white immigrants, the Great Replacement Theory has similarly motivated extremists such as Brenton Tarrant, Patrick Crusius, and Payton Gendron to commit copycat attacks. Now that the theory has reached the mainstream, its origins have become murkier than ever. Moderated by Research Fellow Luke Baumgartner, join us for a virtual event on Friday, February 28, 2025, at 1:00 pm EST with Dr. José Pedro Zúquete and Jared Holt to discuss the theory’s tenets and its power to inspire violence.
