Back to EpisodesIrish Holiday Divided by Social Media Extremism
Description
Ten years ago, Irish social media users united to correct the American habit of calling St. Patricks Day Saint Pattys Day. Today, the online discourse has shifted to extreme territory, with algorithms promoting white supremacist views on Irish identity and immigration. Viral posts lament non-white faces in parade footage and draw wild parallels, while a viral clip from an anti-immigration activist brands the Irish presidents speech as woke propaganda. Social media now amplifies fringe voices, turning a local holiday into global fodder for division.
