Currently, she works as a freelancer, writing about politics, culture, and literature. She has published two books: Culture War: The New Far Right and the Normalization of the Extreme (Cappelen Damm, 2022) and The Backlash: On the Reactionary Wave and How Andrew Tate Won the Internet (Manifest, 2023). The far right has found a new arena on the internet, where figures like Andrew Tate have become prominent. Through social media, they spread messages about masculinity, anti-feminism, and conspiracy theories, often targeting young, vulnerable men. This movement blends entertainment with extreme ideology, creating a platform where dangerous attitudes can take root and influence public discourse. Their online presence is often controversial and polarized, which amplifies the digital spread of these messages. A lecture on the reactionary turn in culture and politics. The growth of the far right (USA, Sweden, France, Germany, etc.). "Alt-right": The development of the far right since around 2010, with a focus on the use of the internet and social media. How "influencers" affect cultural and political choices among young people. Andrew Tate and others. Free admission – all are welcome! FLEKKEFJORD LIBRARY
