Norway’s Police Security Service: Anti-state thinking could lead to radicalization
In the past year, the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has registered increased activity among people who promote anti-state thinking. It is unlikely that they will try to carry out terror attacks. Anti-state thinking is particularly linked to conspiracy theories surrounding the corona pandemic and mass vaccination.
According to the PST, many right-wing extremists believe that the vaccine is a tool for controlling or killing large parts of the population. That helps to reinforce an already great hatred of the authorities, the threat assessment for 2022 warns.
According to PST, some right-wing extremists also emphasize the increased risk that climate change will contribute to mass immigration. That could help reinforce the conspiracy theory that there is a genocide against the white race and Western culture.
The PST considers it unlikely that these people will try to carry out terrorist acts but believes it is possible that individuals will be radicalized.
