The liberal fantasy of civil debate is dead and gone: we live in an age of post truth and conspiracy theories, and we need new arguments and methods to tackle the growing far right, who will use every trick in the book.

Why do they use revolutionary figures from the likes of the 1916 Rising to promote their conservative values? How is it possible that the Left and the Right in Ireland can have the same heroes? Do they have any legitimate concerns? And most importantly, how can we fight back?
