Description:

This episode examines the emergence of Active Clubs, a far‑right network that blends fitness culture with extremist ideology and elements of militancy. It explores how Telegram functions as a central space for coordination, self‑presentation, and recruitment, and why this lifestyle‑driven format resonates with younger audiences. The discussion highlights how aesthetics, community building, and ideological messaging intersect to create a highly adaptable and appealing model for radicalisation.
