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.

Australia is a scarier place than we like to admit. There are definitely dinosaurs (they call them cassowaries), paralytic octopuses, immigrant detention black sites, internment camps (they call them ‘Centers for National Resilience’), and… fascists. Lots and lots of fascists. With very few civilian firearms. So… now that we’re out of Afghanistan, do we bring democracy to Australia instead?
We Discuss:
- What, if anything, is the logic behind Australia’s totalitarianism?
- Why is ‘COVID Zero’ a doomed policy objective, even if you’re an island nation?
- Why aren’t we comfortable condemning Australia?
- What, if anything, can Australians do to hashtag resist?
- What, if anything, is the international community’s obligation?
- Who has the nukes?
