#40 Resisting Organised Hate in Ireland’s Digital Age
How does online hate turn into real-world intimidation, and what can communities do to push back?
In this episode of Zooming in on Hate, Lydia El-Khouri speaks with Mark Malone from Hope and Courage Collective, an Irish civil society organization working to help communities resist organized hate.
From anti-migrant narratives and conspiracy-driven mobilization to the role of influencers and private online networks, Mark unpacks how digital spaces are being used to create division—and how these dynamics increasingly spill offline.
But this is also a story about resilience. Through community organizing, solidarity networks, and local responses, people across Ireland are pushing back and building alternatives rooted in inclusion and democratic values.
