Listen "What Is the Far Right? And Why Is It So Hard to Define?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we unpack a deceptively simple question: what is the far right? While the term is used frequently in media, research, and everyday conversation, it often lacks a clear, shared definition. Is it about ideology? Political parties? Online subcultures? Conspiracy theories? Or all of the above? Together, we’ll explore the historical roots, core beliefs, and evolving forms of far-right movements across Europe. We’ll also dive into why the term remains so difficult to pin down, and why that ambiguity matters when we’re trying to understand radicalisation, youth radicalisation, and resistance. ***YOU‑DARE to Ask is the new podcast exploring how far‑right movements use gendered narratives to shape identity and recruit youth. Each episode features expert insights, real stories, and practical tools to help you understand and challenge extremist ideas.Follow the conversation: Instagram @youdare.eu | Bluesky @you-dare.bsky.social | Web you-dare.eu
