Welcome to your weekly dose of radical curiosity. Each [Monday or whenever it’s released], Civil Discord critiques the critics and tackles the top lines in news and society. Beginning with the premise that the ‘smallest common denominator’ of self-ownership is the greatest single driver of political, social, and cultural change, your intrepid co-hosts and colorful guests break down what individuals, communities, businesses, and finally institutions can do to find their footing, combat totalitarianism, and make their voices heard, wherever they stand on the issues. If you’re ideologically homeless, culturally tribeless, or tired of hearing the same rants about what’s not working, Civil Discord offers provocative counterpoints and fresh perspectives to keep you in the know, arm you with the arguments, and empower you to create the change you crave.

Civil Disinformation Governance Board

Friday May 27, 2022

This week is a win for discord! Our accountability institutions brought some much-needed sunlight to Biden’s proposed Disinformation Governance Board, which promptly shriveled in the public gaze. We look at what erstwhile Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowicz had to say about the agency’s demise, ask what Orwell got wrong, and discuss what the public did right. Then, we take a peek inside Congress’ new $40 billion aid package to Ukraine and talk about what might be missing. Meanwhile, America-first natcons are seething about the ‘GloOoOoObalist Agenda,’ but also meanwhile, America-first natcons are holding a destination CPAC in… Hungary. It’s a whole lot of hot nonsense to unpack, so join us!
