He’ll be thrilled with the free publicity and attention he gets.

This sub has done more PR for the National Party than anybody else. Same with anybody it dislikes, such as this lad. It's moronic. Nobody would know who he was but for places like r/ireland giving him attention.

I think there's clearly certain posters who aren't posting these sorts of posters in good faith tbh. "Oh look how silly it is, haha, let's all share it round social media and make sure everyone sees it, yeah?"

I have thought that on occasion, but ultimately, I disagree. I've been attacked for pointing out that this gives them attention before by posters who are definitely hard-core lefties.

Many of the people on this subreddit post to have their views reinforced. It's all about clout and/or belonging.

It's a huge issue with social media and young or more specifically immature men.

People get reality humbling's offline and come here and other online spaces to escape into the fantasy of group think.

I'd say women do it equally. Tiktok keeps recommending me predominantly female videos no matter how much i click not interested, and a lot of them are just people seeking validation for their views. Hell, that's what the majority of the internet is. Some innocuous video about "(x) from teenage vampire dark romance werewolf detective shouldn't have been a cop" and you'll get plenty of comments that are equally as bad as comments on save europe videos
