Revolutionary youthful manifestos are supposed to post-national multicultural calls for tearing down borders. Youthful energy is supposed to be dedicated to waving red flags, not yellow ones. But Generation Identitaire‘s declaration of war is a call for a revival of a French identity.
With phrases such as, “We no longer believe that “Khader” could ever be our brother, we have stopped believing in a “Global Village” and the “Family of Man”, “We are 25 percent unemployment, social debt, multicultural collapse and an explosion of anti-white racism” and “We discovered that we have roots, ancestry and therefore a future”, its Declaration of War challenges the policies of immigration and integration and strives to recapture a France based on a national identity, rather than a post-national identity.
