Is the Far-Right a Movement or a Media Effect?

An attack in Belfast triggers protests across Europe within 48 hours. But is this a coordinated far-right movement, or a media effect driven by algorithmic amplification?

We explore how a single violent incident becomes a viral meme, a political talking point, and a rally banner—all before the facts are known.
