White genocide is a myth,[1][2] based on pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and hatred,[3] driven by a psychological panic often termed white extinction anxiety.[4][5] There is no evidence that white people are dying out or that they will die out, or that anyone is trying to exterminate them as a race.[6][7] The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to scare white people,[16] and justify a commitment to a white nationalist agenda[8] in support of increasingly successful calls to violence.[9]
