When Good People Stay Quiet | This Matters with Bill Britt

Most threats to a free society do not arrive with a dramatic warning—they grow through silence, compromise and fear. Bill Britt explores how people and institutions can become accustomed to avoiding uncomfortable truths, and why public courage matters more than private conviction. Drawing on history and the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, he argues that the greatest danger is often the lie people know is false but repeat anyway.#BillBritt #politics #democracy -----This Matters with Bill BrittSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/43JJjGiyRCkL87Eai1Ysx6YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2pE7TxOJHnSuSLahIw1Pefz6UJqv6SV5Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-matters-with-bill-britt/id1883499941

Without Fear or Favor: What Happened to Public Duty? | This Matters with Bill Britt

What happens when loyalty to a political tribe becomes more important than loyalty to principles? Bill Britt examines the fading expectation that judges, journalists and public officials act without fear or favor, and why that standard is essential to a functioning democracy. Drawing on history and the warnings of Cicero, he argues that institutions weaken when fairness becomes conditional on whose side benefits.#BillBritt #PoliticalCommentary #democracy -----This Matters with Bill BrittSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/43JJjGiyRCkL87Eai1Ysx6YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2pE7TxOJHnSuSLahIw1Pefz6UJqv6SV5Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-matters-with-bill-britt/id1883499941
