#4 Remembering the Utøya attack and understanding right-wing extremism

Activism Academy

Ten years ago, on the 22nd of July 2011 Norwegians experienced the deadliest lone actor terrorist attacks in Europe's history. Ten years later, the Internet has enabled people to use online technologies for terrorist means, and individual attackers and their ideologies are widely spread and readily available among ever-growing online communities. Many are also the institutions and organizations working to counter online radicalization and hate. On today's episode we discuss all of this with Khalifa-Ihler co-founder and director Bjørn Ihler and Dr. Matthew Feldman, director of the Center for Analysis on Radical Right and professorial fellow at the University of York. Both of our guests are dedicating their lives to counter far-right ideologies and prevent such events from ever happening again.
