Gideon is a narrative about individual rights rather than a plea for class-based or race-based relief. Wendy Brown's observation that rights discourse converts social problems into matters of individualized de-historized injury and entitlement so i guess the idea and i wish this was fleshed out more but it makes it kind of like if you have a problem it's just your problem, says Gideon.
Poor and black defendants have more legal rights than ever, but that didn't stop mass incarceration. Why is that? We talk about a paper by Paul Butler called "Poor People Lose: Gideon and the Critique of Rights." Plus, we answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind: how to live as an anti-natalist. And Tamler is appalled to discover David's anti-natalist leanings.
