Greater Identitarian Legion (GIL) emerged in June 2021 and began promoting its stickering actions on Telegram. As its name suggests, GIL is an identitarian group inspired by Generation Identity (GI). However, GIL is virulently anti-LGBT+ and more explicit in its racism than GI. Its leader has written his own self-published book based on the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory.

The group is made up of a tiny handful of activists, whose actions consist of putting up stickers and very occasionally producing leaflets. Activists from GIL have attended far-right-linked demonstrations in 2023.
