Every day you are handed something to be angry about. A post to argue under. A person to hate. A cause to fight for. But nobody is asking you the most important question — who is actually winning while you fight?

In this solo episode of the Masterminds Podcast, Richie Mensah breaks down one of the most important and most overlooked conversations of our time — the Identity Wars. The systematic, deliberate engineering of division through social media, media, politics, and commerce to keep you distracted, small, and commercially exploitable. From gender wars to religion wars, sports rivalries to the African divide, Richie unpacks exactly how the system works, why your identity was never really yours to begin with, and why unity is not about agreement but about working together with our differences toward a common goal.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why division on a large scale is never accidental — it is always engineered
• The three systems that keep you divided: social media algorithms, media and politics, and commercialized identity
• Why the gender war is destroying the most important unit in society
• Why Christianity and Islam — both Abrahamic religions — have been fighting for over a thousand years
• Why your identity is borrowed and temporary — and why hating someone else's temporary identity is irrational
• How the African divide was deliberately designed at the Berlin Conference of 1884
• Why the energy you spend arguing online could be rebuilding your life
• Why unity is not sameness — it is working together with your differences toward a common goal
