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.

This week, we start with Afghanistan and move on to our broader critiques of U.S. foreign policy (and its discontents!). Maurice is an anarchist. Amanda is a civil libertarian, a Zionist, and a recovering neo-con. We thought it would be interesting to talk through recent events and see where we agreed—and diverged.
We Discuss:
- The nuances of the non-aggression principle
- What does the NAP look like when you’re pulling out of a country you invaded?
- Was the mission in Afghanistan always doomed? If not, what doomed it?
- Trying to work nation-state institutions into a city-state paradigm
- Forever wars, isolationism, and false binaries
- Why great power competition matters
- The cases for and against bases (in foreign countries)
