“The report shows that the majority of people reject far-right narratives, and have real empathy and support across a range of issues, according to Executive Director of Hope and Courage Collective Edel McGinley.
“This report tells a very different story than the one we have been fed for the past few years. People just want leadership that brings solutions, without fear, violence, or scapegoating,” she said.
She stressed “the power of community” and how people from all walks of life have shown up in small and big ways to counter hate”

It may not be the majority view, but it quickly got intermingled with the recent protests

The far right call themselves the “silent majority” but they’re a very loud minority of clowns.

Anti immigrant views are widespread though

The majority view in Ireland is neither left nor right.
It is “who gives a shit”.
People are disengaged, particularly young people. It leaves it to the militants on the left and on the right. Both are mental in my assessment.

The media put them front and centre for 2 reasons- clicks and to remove legitimacy from the majority of the protesters. And now they get to report on a report about it. It’s great for them like a golden goose.

Hmm…that may be correct, not just here, nowhere in the EU is it the case, even in countries where the far right might get into government soon, heck even in Nazi Germany that was the case. Political apathy, economic downturns and a tendency of enough voters to prefer supposed easy answers to ever more complicated problems are enough – again, look at some EU countries.

Economic immigration would shut them up, the rest of the topics tbey bring up are irrelevant to 99% of the country

Absolutely biased “report” to begin with considering their mission statement on the [Hope and Courage website about us section](https://hopeandcourage.ie/about-us/)
>Our mission is to disrupt far-right hate and fascism
Also they were called the Far Right Observatory before changing the name to Hope and Coourage in 2019.
This is no different than the Iona institute producing a report that is anti abortion.

They don’t need a majority, the magic number is 35%. They hit that and they have an ability to not just disrupt elections but win them. As evidence please look at the US in both of Trumps wins. This is the danger of thinking they need a majority.
They will have a right go at main stream media now for exposing them when anyone with common sense knows they are just a very loud and disruptive minority

All of far right worship predofiles for some reason.

That’s before you mention the Epstein class.
Far right Steve bannon and Jeffry Epstein celebrated Brexit as a return to tribalism, not a celebration of sovereignty.
Far right Elon musk called for the destruction of the Eu a couple months ago because Eu fined his company x for continuously breaking Eu laws
Far right Steve bannon from the Epstein files was behind gemergate
Then there’s Trump, the most common name consistently throughout the Epstein files
Far right are pedofile lovers

This is what ‘polls’ always say and yet when it comes to voting it works out differently. Right wing people aren’t open about their beliefs because they are immediately labelled as racist, sexist etc.

The far right in Ireland have become extremely useful stooges. They ve split the working class vote and dented the progress of the biggest threat to who holds and has been holding power for over 100 years here

How is this news? For the most part the far right in Ireland are a rabble of losers whose rage is entirely that hardworking immigrants could do better than they. As the US expression goes, they would rather be poorer than equal. The big change is the acceptability of their narrative on social media and the lack of consequences. They are cowards to a man wrapping themselves in the Irish flag to claim some form of respectability.

> show that 66% agree that immigrants contribute positively to Irish culture and community, which is up 2% up from 64% in 2024.
yet again conflating all immigrants as one. I think people have a different view of fake asylum seekers and Polish carpenters.

Every time RTE has an article of a new report from these folks the article is 90% quotes but they never link to the actual report.

All things considered, the mainstream media really does not have any nuance or balance of opinion and rarely allows debate on certain issues, instead posts articles like this, kind of strange to me

Most people are at the point of complete apathy to everything.
Burnt out from jobs to pay the high mortgage rates/ high rent/ saving for deposit while living in house shares, with parents well into there 30s/40s
What’s left is spent on ever increasing bills, food costs and now fuel costs
Most people are barely keeping their head above water, they don’t have the energy to do things.
The only people I know doing OK are being supported by wealthy parents.

If the far right view was in fact the view of the majority, there would be no need for US billionaires [to funnel money](https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/the-american-dark-money-behind-europes-far-right/) into amplifying their voices.
They will have a right go at main stream media now for exposing them when anyone with common sense knows they are just a very loud and disruptive minority
