I think a good trick is to always question with more vigour stuff that you are more likely to agree with. So for many people who are not of this mindset many saw this as a rubbish link. Whereas others who were only too open to believe it took it hook line and sinker. That applies for all stories whether they be liberal far right or whatever.

But in fairness, as loud as these utter ****s are in Ireland, I don't think there is any real prospect of genuine political breakthrough.

The social dilemma is a very interesting documentary on Netflix.
Briefly touches on how Google, twitter, YouTube, Facebook etc intentionally creates rabbit holes for these people, creating echo Chambers. They are dangerous, dangerous people

The far right has no "legitimate concerns" or "legitimate grievances". They only have a desire to systematically divide society, incite a race war, and end democracy. Their interests are always the interests of corruption, oligarchs and kleptocracy. And the logical endpoint of this mindset, always, is genocide.
Literally everything they say should always be assumed to be an outright lie. And in the very rare instances where anything say isn't an outright lie, it's only used as context-free, bogus evidence to advance fascism. The message that the far right are fascists who are total frauds in every facet of their existence, and need to be opposed in every way possible, needs to be driven home relentlessly. An educated populace is the only real defence against fascism.

Important article in the journal this morning, on how the far right used an electrical fire in Balbriggan to stoke racial tensions. I bought it myself ag the time I have to say.
