    I think it's a real shame people feel the need to politicize bullshit in this way. Bullshit should transcend politics.

    Having said that, most of the cretins saying that masks infringe their liberty aren't lefties. The lefties are the ones who wear masks to a riot.

    They're all self-absorbed fucking douchebags in my far from humble opinion.

      I happen to think it's for the best if the government mandates mask wearing and uses its violence monopoly to enforce that, but that sort of thing is easily and blatantly a grey area for those who care to give it some thought.

      Education is extremely important.

        Anybody who complains that wearing a mask stops them from being able to breathe gets their neck knelt on by a copper for thirty seconds so that they know what it really feels like?

        They'd also get a better appreciation of actual tyranny, as opposed to a rule they don't like.

          But as you previously explained, a mask doesn't protect me from you, it only protects you from me. Which means that if I've tested negative and am there for no risk to you, I have allowed you to bully me into conforming to your fears at the expense of my own Constitutional rights.

              It's a minor inconvenience, and thousands of people are dying.

              The real question is 'how much of a dick do you want to be?'

              And I'm not even saying people need to wear a mask at all times. Just follow the guidelines.

                  Most people already do, often multiple layers of such. Varieties include panties, underwear, boxers, shorts, pants, pantaloons, skirts, gowns, etc.

                    Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that is a great reason.

                    That reason is never ever going away. Never.

                    Thousands will always be dying from communicable disease.

                    So, if that is a great reason for everyone to always wear a mask, we will never again do anything in public without a mask.

                        Aside from the non-stop insults

                        When does it end?

                        What is the goal?

                          We all have different goals. Mine is to avoid contracting Covid-19 from some stupid fuck who refuses to wear a mask because it would somehow affect his liberty.

                              Catching Covid won't be fun, however I get it, but to get it from some loser who actually thinks that wearing masks to prevent the spread of what he considers a made-up disease are what defines fascism would be too much to bear.

                              I would rather Bill Gates personally inject me with his nanobots.

                                Incidentally, these are not non-stop insults. This is what is known as occasional impoliteness.

                                  To make this clear ... again... I wear a mask, I advocate wearing a mask, I discussed the legal aspect of government requiring the wearing of masks purely as a conversation about the legality of it. I honestly don't know a single person who refuses to wear a mask as a statement of some sort.

                                    I've heard from very reputable and intelligent sources that if we all start wearing masks, then we've opened the doors to things we don't like: Pedophilia, vegetarian dinners, and doing nice things for liberals. You wanna go down that route? Do you really? Because that's exactly where we're headed.

                                      It's weird to meet someone, naturally going to shake hands, and then pull back knowing that all of us alive now, will be the last people that shook hands as part of social discourse.

                                      "Grandpa, tell me about that thing where you hold a stranger's hand and pump it up and down. What was wrong with people back then?"

                                          I mean if we're all going to wear masks, we might as well cover ourselves in gauze, douse our bodies with iodine and live in an iron lung for the rest of our lives because it's exactly the same thing. Next thing you know they're going to be coming for our guns.

                                          Please love yourself.
