- Reposted by Pasko Kisić-MerinoExceptionally long, but familiarly pompous and uniformed, puff piece on the “good” nativism of Mette Frederiksen in Denmark. Completely ignores most basic data and, of course, any academic research. Some quick points 🧵
- Yesterday I defended my PhD thesis - dealing with far-right normalisation and social media politics - at Karlstad University. I want to thank my opponent, Prof. Jason Glynos, for the wonderful discussion, as well as the committee, supervisors, colleagues, friends and family for their huge support.

- My article "The role of right-wing enjoyment in the normalisation of the far-right" has been published in @risjnl.bsky.social Review of International Studies. I investigate how right-wing liberals, moderates, and conservatives - once disavowing the far-right - enjoy political victories alongside it.
