Policy Remedies: Visas and Repeal Power

Today I’m talking to Carl Benjamin about what people are calling “the right’s civil war” — and why the story most of us are being told might be missing the point.

A lot of this conversation is about labels, loyalty tests, and what happens when movements turn inward: who gets cast out, who gets listened to, and how ordinary people end up pushed into tribes they don’t fully recognise. I’m not here to do propaganda for anyone - I’m here to understand what’s actually going on.

We cover:

- What “civil war on the right” even means (and what it doesn’t)

- Why factions form, escalate, and start purging allies

- How online incentives warp political identity and belonging

- The difference between “protecting a culture” and playing tribal status games

- What Carl thinks people get wrong about this moment

- If you disagree with either of us, I still want you here - but argue the point, not the person.
