‘It’s frightening’: How far right is infiltrating everyday culture | The far right | The Guardian

"“I have a stepson who sometimes sends videos and then I go down the rabbit hole to see who created them and it turns out it’s a far-right influencer.”

So-called “tradwives”, referring to female content creators who promote traditional gender roles on social media, are another example.
