In this short comment on Santamarina and Ince's intervention on urban neighbourhoods and far-right spatial strategies, I wish to add nuance to their argument by adding the issue of normalisation to the research agenda they propose. To this end, I challenge three dichotomies that explicitly and implicitly guide their propositions, namely far-right actors/anti-fascists, disruption/continuity, and fringe/centre. I argue that recalibrating our analytical lens to better understand far-right strategies at the neighbourhood scale requires breaking with these alleged binaries.
