- In this episode of the #SmidgeCast, we explore the evolving landscape of extremism with Line Nybro Petersen and Mikkel Baekby Johansen from the University of Copenhagen (UCPH). Join us as we explore the hybridization of extremist ideologies, where radical beliefs blend with mainstream culture, conspiracy theories, and personal grievances, creating new and complex forms of radicalization.
We also discuss "Hype Spaces," the digital environments where these hybrid ideologies thrive, and examine the role influencers and social media users play in spreading extreme content.
