To wear a mask or Not to wear a mask....

  • So, I am not wearing a mask.  It is not mandatory yet (thankfully).  

    Having said that, in the space of a couple of hours, I have heard that it is selfish to not wear a mask and I have been treated like a leper (ie. I had to move farther away from a woman entering the store...with a mask).  

    Let me get this straight:  if you believe that the mask is necessary and keeps the virus from spreading and YOU wear a mask, why does it matter/bother you that I do not??? Seriously, am I missing something here? 

    In case it isn't apparent, I'm rip roaring mad over this.

  • No mask.

    Just came from grocery store with no mask.

    Was definitely in the 20% minority.

  • I would never wear a mask in public because I do not believe this Covid19 is any worse than any other flu or virus that has come up in the USA since after the Spanish Flu. Where I live I'd say 30% of shoppers at the big food store wear a mask. No one has said anything to me about not wearing a mask. If they did, I'd tell them that if God wants to take anyone's life that a mask is not going to help them, that death means nothing to me, I just ask God to allow me to go to confession before I die. 

    Maybe that'll convert the Catholics.

    Well, the story is that wearing the mask prevents someone from spreading it moreso than it protects someone from getting it.  So, for people who believe that, it explains why they'd be upset.
    .
    That's the story.  But remember that only three weeks ago the story was not to bother with the mask.

    I'm not going to play the game, and I'm not going to wear a mask.  I might make an exception-- here or there, like for grocery shopping if there's a store that I need to go to that won't let me in without one-- but first I'll try to buy elsewhere and go without.

    No mask.

  • I will be more than content to stay far away from sheeple who think wearing a mask is doing any good - which it has been proven not to be.

    If I have to wear something on my face, it will be the following: (I have a large selection of these.Great for many outdoor activities!)

  • Yes, I've heard that saying "I have a medical condition" will allow you to avoid a mask.  The real problem, will be the fight over forced vaccinations.  Even the "conservative" heroes out there (Ben Shapiro types) are all accepting (i.e. promoting/indoctrinating the sheeple) that the vaccine will be the fix for our crisis.  This is the end game.  The NY public health dept already is on video saying they are pre-planning for the vaccine roll-out.  "We already have the syringes ready." 
    .
    This will be the true battle for freedom.  If they can force vaccinations, then we're one hop-skip-and-a-jump away from a cashless society with chip implants.

    Asking because there's lots of stuff out there like this... e.g., 'sovereign citizens' who will tell you that you can speed down the highway with a pound of weed in your trunk and if the cops stop you all you have to do is cite maritime law from 1788 and *poof!* the cop will disappear back into the matrix so you can keep on driving, I mean traveling.

    According to my husband cloth masks are not going to help something airborne.  Ie.  We all would need to use N95s

    “Orwell's point in 1984 was that it's more than just government Though Police. The people themselves participate, willfully, in ‘double think.’

    [Just like SSPXers who pretend the neo-SSPX isn’t contradicting Lefebvre, or Americans who choose not to remember face masks were ineffective 3 weeks ago; etc.  In all cases, doublethink is protective stupidity: You want to get along, you go along, and practice convincing yourself -like Winston in 1984 - that 2+2=5.  Then the torture will stop.]

    ...

    Consider the example in the book 1984 regarding the ongoing war between the three superstates of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia (representing English, Russian, and Chinese empires respectively).

    At the start of the book, Oceania is at war with Eurasia. They have always been at war with Eurasia. That's the political consensus, and all historic docuмents agree. However, Winston Smith (the protagonist) remembers a time five years ago when Oceania was instead at war with Eastasia. Winston Smith struggles with philosophical idea of "truth". Which is more true, what everyone knows and what's in the newspapers, or the memories within his head?

    Then Oceania’s allegiance switched back again. On the sixth day of Hate Week, as crowds gathered to denounce Eurasia, the Party switched enemies to Eastasia. In a particularly rousing speech against their enemy, the speaker was handed a slip of paper, and in mid-sentence, without pause, without change in content or tone, he changed the name of the enemy he was speaking against to Eastasia. Eurasia was now their dearest friends. Those holding banners denouncing their enemy were suddenly embarrassed to discover they had unaccountably written the wrong name, and quickly trampled and destroyed them.”

    Um, there are a TON of Fed/State laws either outright prohibiting or highly regulating the use of marijuana.

    I don't know of any law requiring anyone to wear a face mask out in public.

    Ironically, many states, cities and towns have laws which ban you from "substantially covering" your face (i.e. criminals who wear ski masks).
