Happy to hear alternate perspectives, actually came here for them in the first place

Thanks, that’s an interesting take.

Already have all that thanks 👍

Which comm am I in? Comradeship? Yea ok

Also yeah non-masking is famously a whites-only issue… U are the edgiest poster, all hail

99% of Americans would rather have all Palestinians get killed by Israel

Really? I’ve seen a protest a week since Oct 6 and have participated in many, I didn’t get that vibe at all.

As I said above, I don’t think calling the overwhelming majority of people rats is as good a look as you think it is, nor do I think it will achieve the goal you want.

I’ll cross the street in front of you in public if I don’t see a mask on you, with the dirtiest look as I go by.

The logistics of this in the dense community where I live make this a very, very silly image.

I don’t think calling the vast majority of people rats is as good of a look as you think it is, nor do I think it effects the change you want.

Obviously the exceeding vast majority of people do not want to wear them. One look outside will tell you that. Me wearing one while healthy, and especially now while immune to COVID, does not change anything. Scolding the world will get us nowhere.

People should absolutely mask while experiencing symptoms, after having a possible exposure to COVID, or in a preventative manner before being around a vulnerable population. Vulnerable people should be able to mask without being harassed. If that is insufficient, blame the CDC for calling people and telling them to go back to work as soon as their fever subsides, not me individually for seeing it as fruitless to wear a mask while healthy while that is happening. I have debilitating symptoms of long COVID, I am being victimized by this shit too.

Finally, the vast majority of people are healthy, and I take issue with the world view that every person is a threat.

If you see no problem with referring to 99% of the population as plague rats then I don’t know what to tell you.

I cannot effect change by being the only person to wear a mask among millions in my community who do not. At that point it becomes a style choice.

I now wear a mask at the slightest symptoms in myself. I have gotten five or six vaccines and been infected three times.

I also have a chronic jaw issue that makes extended masking very painful for me.

I find the vitriol against not wearing a mask in this thread tiresome. Being hateful and enraged at 99% of people is not functional.
