Episode 122 — Factional America? Spain, Civil War, and a World at War w/ Karl Dahl

Is America drifting toward the kind of internal fracture that once tore Spain apart?In this episode of The Backlash, Dave sits down with author Karl Dahl (Faction, Faction: With The Crusaders) to examine the Spanish Civil War—not as distant history, but as a warning. What caused a once-unified nation to collapse into ideological bloodshed? How did propaganda, political extremism, and cultural decay accelerate the descent into chaos? And are we seeing similar patterns take root here at home?We also widen the lens to the geopolitical stage. With tensions escalating in Iran and global alliances shifting, is the world sliding toward a broader conflict? What role does internal division play in weakening nations from within? And if America continues down its current path of polarization and factionalism, what does that mean for our future?History doesn’t repeat—but it rhymes. Tonight, we explore whether the rhyme scheme is becoming impossible to ignore.Follow Karl Dahl:https://x.com/CaudilloDahlBuy Karl's Books:Faction - https://amzn.to/4l3G1hTFaction: With The Crusaders - https://amzn.to/4u20K9V————————————————————————————Brought to you by Above Time Coffee Roasters, Atlas Bullion, Idaho Tallow, and Antelope Hill Publishing & ODGG Supply.————————————————————————————SEND US SNAIL MAIL:P.O.
