Professor Benjamin Teitelbaum joins 1Dime Radio to discuss the right after Trump. Teitelbaum is an ethnographer, scholar of radical politics, and author of War for Eternity and Lions of the North. In this episode, we discuss Steve Bannon, Alexander Dugin, Traditionalism, the tech right, Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, Nick Fuentes, the abuse of the word “fascism,” and whether a coherent post-Trump right is emerging from the ruins of MAGA.

In this episode of The Public, Benjamin gives his analysis of the different factions on the political Right. In The Backroom on Patreon, Benjamin and I discuss the FUTURE of the “dissident right” and populism AFTER Trump.
