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.

In Woke News this week, former NFL coach Jon Gruden resigned in disgrace over some marginally distasteful statements made in some very old emails. Does this count as ‘cancel culture’? What is ‘cancel culture’? Then, in Federalism News, some state governors are banning vaccine mandates and confusing libertarians who aren’t sure whether it’s ever okay for governors to ban anything. Amanda has a theory to reconcile the libertarian pragmatics and ethics of the issue. Next, workplace walk-offs continue apace! Maurice analogizes the current situation to the many libertarian lessons hidden in Disney’s ‘A Bug’s Life’. Finally, China: will they or won’t they [blow up the world]?
