This chapter examines the unsettling links between contemporary political rhetoric and extreme ideologies, notably the 'great replacement' theory. It reveals how fears about demographic changes and LGBTQ+ educational initiatives are distorted to challenge traditional values, alongside the troubling acceptance of these views in mainstream politics. The discussion also highlights the loneliness epidemic among men drawn to extremist beliefs and the complex roles and experiences of women within these movements.
