Netherlands: Dangers and Threats

The normalization of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory is a "worrying development," said the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) on Monday. In its new assessment of threats to the Netherlands, it said, "Discussing such xenophobic and partially racist ideas, and other conspiracy theories, openly and uncritically contributes to social acceptance."

The Great Replacement, sometimes called simply “replacement theory,” states that Western society is slowly being replaced by immigrants with a non-western background and their descendants.

The replacement theory is one of the pillars of “accelerationism,” an extremist right-wing movement that promotes the use of threats and violence. Accelerationism "encourages terrorist violence as a legitimate means of achieving the ideal of a white ethno-state.”

There are a few hundred supporters with radical right-wing terrorist ideas. The jihadist movement still poses the greatest threat, but the movement is showing "stagnation" and "relative inactivity," according to the NCTV. The extreme left mainly expresses itself in an "activist way" such as with demonstrations.
