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.

Episode 12: Karen vs. Karen
Wednesday Aug 11, 2021
Wednesday Aug 11, 2021
In this episode, we revisit a tale of two Karens: Amy Cooper, a white woman who called the police on a black man in Central Park; and Christian Cooper, a black man who argued for greater Central Park police presence in response to off-leash dog-walkers. A recent report from Kmele Foster provides additional background on Amy’s 911 call, on the moments before and after her videotaped confrontation with Christian, and—yes—why she claims she warned him that she was going to tell the police “an African-American man is threatening my life.”
We Discuss:
- What are the most charitable explanations for both Amy and Christian’s actions? What are the most cynical?
- Bad decisions and bad excuses
- Why don’t journalists like to do their jobs?
- How has the credibility shifted? What questions are left outstanding?
- The Court of Law vs. The Court of Public Opinion
