==Career and activities==
Carlqvist worked for a number of notable [[media]] outlets, such as ''Aftonbladet''. She was however forced to resign from different positions for a controversial column on [[incest]], and for attacking anti-racists.

She then started Tryckfrihetssällskapet ("The Press-Freedom Company"), modelled after the [[Denmark|Danish]] [[Trykkefrihedsselskabet]], and which involved [[Hans Rustad]]. She also started the Islamophobic publication ''Dispatch International'', because "mainstream media has so deteriorated that it now constitutes a threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190708164401/https://dispatchint.com/darfor-finns-dispatch-international "Därför finns ''Dispatch International''" ("Why ''Dispatch International'' exists"), ''Dispatch International'', accessed Jul. 8, 2019.]</ref>

In 2015-2016, she wrote copiously on how Sweden was plagued by [[no-go zone]]s and undergoing a [[The Great Replacement|Great Replacement]], for the [[United States|American]] [[right-wing]] [[think tank]] {{wpl|Gatestone Institute||.}} It is likely Carlqvist's continued hammering on the issue in the US — something Per Gudmunson did only domestically<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190914195745/https://www.svd.se/55-no-go-zoner-i-sverige Per Gudmundson, "55 'no go'-zoner i Sverige," ''Svenska Dagbladet'', Oct. 28, 2014, as displayed Sep. 14, 2019]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190418122234/https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/no-go-zone-myth Ishmael N. Daro, "How the myth of lawless "no-go zones" in Sweden took hold among right-wing media," ''Buzzfeed News'', Jan. 24, 2017, as displayed Apr. 18, 2019.]</ref> — influenced [[Fox News]]' obsession with [[Muslims]] in Sweden,<ref>https://video.foxnews.com/v/5248024459001/</ref> and thereby [[Donald Trump]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190914220326/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/20/world/europe/trump-pursues-his-attack-on-sweden-with-scant-evidence.html Peter Baker and Sewell Chan, "From an anchor's lips to Trump’s ears to Sweden’s disbelief," ''The New York Times'', Feb. 20, 2017, as displayed Sep. 14, 2019.]</ref><ref>[https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-suggests-sweden-troubled-refugees-fox-news-report-article-1.2976456 Nicole Hensley, "Trump lumps Sweden into list of nations troubled by refugees after likely watching Fox News report," ''New York Daily News'', Feb. 18, 2017]</ref> To their credit, even the [[National Review Online]] has been more nuanced about the topic.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190608060615/https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/02/sweden-rape-sexual-assault-non-muslim-immigrants/ Mona Charen, "What's up with rape in Sweden?" ''National Review'', Feb. 23, 2017, as displayed Jun. 8, 2019]</ref> 

Carlqvist subsequently has blogged and podcasted about how Sweden is becoming [[Eurabia]], adding [[antisemitism]] into the mix by claiming an [[international Jewish conspiracy]] is behind [[white genocide]], orchestrating the movement of [[Islam|Muslims]] to Sweden. Some of her blogging was as "Ingrid and Conrad," with [[identitarian]] Daniel "Conrad" Frändelöv, and more recently as "Ingrid and Maria," together with Maria Celander.

As founder of Det fria Sverige ("Free Sweden"), an ultra-[[nationalist]] umbrella group that included members of the [[Nordic Resistance Movement]], she was also influential in establishing the [[Alternative for Sweden|Alternativ för Sverige]] [[political party]], which, exactly as it sounds, is an unimaginatively named Swedish version of [[Germany]]'s [[Alternative für Deutschland]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190923011813/https://expo.se/2017/11/nytt-projekt-for-hogerextrema-allaktivitetshus</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190726191105/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/lesterfeder/alternative-for-sweden-new-party</ref>

Her repeated "Great Replacement" [[rhetoric]] has won her support from [[Gates of Vienna]], [[FrontPage Magazine]], and [[Red Ice Creations]], as well as [[xenophobia|xenophobic]] [[fake news]] [[webshites]] such as Jihad Watch.

In April 2019, she was fined for not having a publisher for her podcast.
