The science is clear now, and the only reason social pressure works to get people wearing masks is because they are conformists. They will conform to whoever has the strongest willpower.
The other type are bullies (the Karen’s, Commies, and petty little tyrant types). Bullies target the weak and the timid. They look for ways to demonstrate their power. They don’t want to get into battles they might lose, become subject to ridicule, or have people challenge their behavior.
There is also the institutional rule-followers (store managers, etc.). The way to defeat them isn’t fighting, it’s just to wear them down — make enforcing mask rules thankless, fruitless, and problematic. You don’t have to break the law by refusing to leave the store or being violent — in fact, your better off simply pushing the boundaries of their tolerance over and over, and minimally complying with their demands. Eventually they’ll give up; they’re not being paid enough to ‘babysit’ non-compliant people.
All of us should follow this ‘pede’s example.
