Abstract: The article discusses the phenomenon of everyday extremism in Sweden, where extremist slogans and narratives have become mainstream and are printed on various merchandise such as t-shirts and mugs. These narratives, often related to anti-immigration sentiments and conspiracy theories, have gained popularity and are now easily accessible through digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The article emphasizes the need to understand and address this form of extremism, which is characterized by its subtle and normalized presence in everyday life. It also highlights the role of hybrid artifacts, which blend online and offline spaces, in perpetuating extremist ideologies. [Extracted from the article]
