89: Mass Confusion

Mask Mandates and the Psychology of the Other

A host recounts feeling like an "outsider" or "the other" for refusing to wear a mask at a Whole Foods during the pandemic. This experience is compared to the "double consciousness" theory described by W.E.B. Du Bois regarding the Black experience in America. The segment explores how propaganda weaponizes feelings of exclusion to enforce social compliance.
