Carl Benjamin is a political commentator and cultural critic. This discussion focuses on diagnosis — not slogans — and on understanding consequences before they arrive.

Young men aren't radicalising because of ideology, they're reacting to a world that no longer works for them. In this conversation with Carl Benjamin, we break down why the post-war consensus has collapsed, why politics feels illegitimate and why a generation feels pushed to the edge.

In this episode we discuss:
– Why young men feel shut out of the system
– The collapse of the post-WWII consensus
– Piers Morgan, Nick Fuentes, and generational revolt
– Identity politics vs material reality
– Legitimacy, consent, and non-compliance
– Why politics no longer fixes anything
– What happens when power has no limits
– Why discomfort is unavoidable
