Sargon, Race Realist and libertarian, runs for European Parliament on UKIP

Sargon, Race Realist enters the fray

Rebuffs reporter: Nazis are leftwing, opposite of libertarians

UPDATE!

Carl Benjamin is a UKIP candidate for Member of the European Parliament (MEP).  Of interest to readers of this website, in a recent interview, Sargon shot back at a reporter who accused him of being Nazi for his far right ethno-nationalist views.

“I don’t agree that the Nazis are the extreme right.  I don’t agree with that definition… I want decentralization, limited government… fascism itself is an ideology that comes directly out of socialism.

When you’re saying far right, I’m thinking Milton Friedman.  I’m thinking radical capitalism…

In the United States far right would be considered libertarian.”

As soon as he made these comments a woman observing the interview threw a fish at him.  It brazed his suit jacket.  Sargon scoffed it was a pigeon bothering him.

Sargon, real name Carl Benjamin, is running in a crowded field in southwest England.  Polls put him in the middle of the pack.  He is not expected to win.

Sargon, Nick Fuentes vs. Destiny

ORIGINAL

Starting at the 3.28-minute mark (YouTube), Sargon of Akkad and Destiny discuss racial differences and characteristics such as height and intelligence.  Nick Fuentes joins in with Sargon to mock Destiny in admitting that there are difference in racial characteristics such as height.

Destiny: Um, okay, if you wanna talk about height, nobody is going to disagree with you.

[Laughter ensues]

Fuentes:  You just conceded the whole point.

Destiny:  Wait… wait…

Race & IQ

Then Sargon makes the following statements:

“I think it would be against the theory of evolution, if groups of people who had devolved in different situations didn’t have physical differences.  It would be an impossibility.” [Emphasis added]

Sargon goes on to defend Race and IQ but to make it clear it should not be used to discriminate against certain groups of people.  He continues:

“But destroying someone’s life for pointing out that these things are true or false or whatever, that’s wrong man… we shouldn’t be destroying anyone’s lives for opinions they hold.”

Fuentes goes on to bring up the example of the castigation and de-frocking of geneticist Dr. James Watson.

Update on Carl Benjamin

In the years following his 2018–2019 involvement with UKIP and his unsuccessful bid for a parliamentary seat, Carl Benjamin gradually shifted away from direct political campaigning and returned to a broader media‑commentary role. Rather than pursuing further electoral ambitions, he focused on expanding his online presence, developing long‑form discussions, interviews, and cultural analysis aimed at an international audience. This transition allowed him to move from the fast‑paced environment of party politics back into the slower, more reflective format that originally built his following.

Benjamin continued producing content across multiple platforms, often emphasizing historical context, philosophical themes, and social commentary. His presentation style — measured, articulate, and delivered in a calm, distinctly English cadence — became a recognizable part of his public persona. Over time, this approach helped him cultivate a reputation as a soft‑spoken commentator whose influence extended well beyond the UK. His audience increasingly included viewers from North America, Europe, and Australia, many of whom discovered his work through interviews, panel discussions, and collaborations with other online creators.

Although he remained a polarizing figure in some circles, Benjamin’s post‑campaign years were marked by a steady broadening of his subject matter. He discussed literature, political theory, current events, and cultural trends, often framing his commentary within a larger historical or philosophical perspective. This shift allowed him to maintain relevance without relying on electoral politics, and it contributed to his emergence as a recognizable international media personality. His work during this period reflects a move toward long‑form analysis and a more global audience, rather than the domestic political focus that defined his 2018–2019 period.
