89: Mass Confusion

Private Law and the Rescinding of Privileges

The word "privilege" is broken down into its Latin roots, *privus* and *lex*, meaning "private law." The hosts discuss how privileges are granted for good behavior and rescinded for bad behavior, using the Hasidic Jewish community's experience with vaccine mandates as a case study. They argue that modern identity "badges" (race, gender, orientation) are used to protect the loudest voices for the system.
