In the hours after the sword attack at the Brinell School in Fagersta, attention turned to the now-deleted TikTok account linked to the 18-year-old perpetrator terrorist who has been arrested. The account had accumulated thousands of followers and tens of thousands of likes. Its content was not limited to one theme.

Short, heavily edited videos that presented school attackers and mass murderers as heroes sat side by side with material featuring Markus Allard and the Örebro Party.

Screenshots of the account’s public grid show these elements sitting right next to each other. One thumbnail displays the overlay text “Allard om icke-verbal kommunikation.” Another shows Allard at a podium with the overlay text “Allard skäller ut.” These sit in the same feed as videos that treat perpetrators of school violence as central figures, alongside content related to the 2015 Trollhättan school attack and other high-profile acts of violence.

The account also circulated posts promoting the Örebro Party’s core platform of remigration, alongside content spreading the stupid idea of a population replacement in Europe. Content of this nature is routinely deployed by far-right operations to foster division and distract from systemic political failures of right-wing establishments.

The 18-year-old perpetrator terrorist was described by others in the True Crime Community (TCC) as one of its stronger video creators. His edits of real-world attackers received tens of thousands of views. He maintained contact with users across Europe, Russia, and the United States. Five days before the attack, another account in the same networks posted a video that tagged him and used coded language about “presents” and clothing for an action at a school. After the attack, the same networks celebrated the murder done by the 18-year-old.

The account’s final uploads included an image of a sword with the caption “No more edits,” posted shortly before the alarm was raised.

This is the kind of material young people encounter on social media. Politicians who put their message in these digital spaces cannot claim it is pure coincidence that their videos sit next to extreme content. It is time to demand accountability from the political ecosystem that targets youth with this mix of party messaging and the visual language of violence.
