Speaking from experience, people in Ireland are overwhelmingly pro-palestine.
There is this user in the comments: https://www.reddit.com/user/EntireCourage308/
Its a nearly year-old account, it started posting about a month ago, it made some innoculous posts, then pivoted to posting far-right misinformation in the r/northernireland subreddit.

There’s loads of other accounts just like it.

    ts a nearly year-old account, it started posting about a month ago, it made some innoculous posts, then pivoted to posting far-right misinformation in the r/northernireland subreddit.>

    thats called warming up the account, and its designed to avoid the reddit ban evasion filters partially. it looks more legitimate if your “posting in a certain way”, then the sudden switch to a propaganda path/spam is always the objective for these accounts. reddit has gotten too sensitive and are catching people that do this if they dont have any anti-detection methods employed.
