1. Introduction.

I wrote a thread on Twitter of how the riots of November 23rd in Dublin were orchestrated. This is a companion piece to that, focusing on accounts inciting violence and destruction.

Focusing on incitement to violence (and often hatred) against these specific groups of people: gardaí, immigrants, media, hospital staff, politicians.

This post is limited to people most likely to live in Ireland, based on their social media presence, and/or claim to be Irish. It's not possible to verify nationality from a profile and in some instances they may be bad-faith actors living abroad or not Irish at all.

Due to the sheer volume of incitement I tried to narrow it down to posts that were explicitly or implicitly inciteful, as opposed to vaguely suggestive.
