I've noticed more people I know are falling for this bullshit. A friend of my wife's is conservative and told us months ago that masks don't work and are bullshit. This week she came over for a playdate and she and her kids wore masks the entire time. It drove me crazy and I almost wanted to start an argument or kick them out. What is happening to people? The Enemy of the People media is an evil powerful thing on the weak-minded.

It's disappointing how susceptible most people are to being conditioned. My wife's family cancelled Thanksgiving for the first time ever. All summer they hung out all the time with no concerns. All of sudden it's time to freak out because the magic box tells you to? This has been going on for a year now, and it takes until Thanksgiving to freak out?! I don't get it.
I completely agree. It's no way to live.
Invite him in. If he refuses, say, "Bye."
Whenever people with masks speak to me I just say 'huh? Cant hear you'
Then they take off their masks
Gaslighting works both ways motherfuckers, do this and eventually people stop wearing them
Yes, I do this too. It's amazing. I have made people repeat themselves three times before. Sometimes they give up before taking off the precious face diaper.
The problem is : most people are just stupid. Or they play dumb as they want to avoid discussions in which they have no argument. It is save to be with many. Last : there is no cure for stupidity unless Wuhan creates a vaccin that kills only if you have an IQ of a doorknob.
I think in many cases it is simple cowardice.
Hey, if you want to wear a mask and it makes you feel better, more power too you. Just don't expect or mandate that I do the same, ANYWHERE.
There was a couple neighborhood-wide yard sales by us a few weeks ago. The one neighborhood, some of the homeowners had masks but didn't require us to. The second neighborhood, we stopped at two houses and both required masks, so we left. These sales were outside, in their yards. Covid is either (1) not really a threat so you can hold a yard sale, or (2) it's a super deadly plague and you won't allow strangers on your property. You can't have it both ways.
This is exactly it. The hypocrisy and inconsistency drives me insane. For example, on the same day, my boss reprimanded me for going to the bathroom by myself without a mask on, and then asks the entire office of hundreds of people to please go to the office cafeteria because it's going out of business (people eat without masks.) WTF?!
People really lack critical thinking skills.
Yes. The frustrating thing is that they treat me like I'm a flat earther for pointing out these sorts of obvious inconsistencies. Our former church was not allowed by the Mayor to meet even outdoors, even socially-distanced, even with masks. But the Mayor regularly marched in 50,000 person protests with none of those precautions. I point this out and I get blank stares at best or mental gymnastics. It makes me want to scream at people.
Completely agree. I will never understand why people are out and about if they are so scared of the virus. A horrible woman got me kicked out of a coffee shop for not wearing a mask. Why are you at a coffee shop if there's such a deadly virus out? If I believed there was such a deadly virus around, I would sure not be hanging out in coffee shops. I'm going to lose my mind with these people.
I know, right? We need to come up with a spicy comeback to prove masks are bullshit and they need to take them off! There are currently very effective treatments for the Covid. Vitiman d Hydroxychloroquine Ivermectin Steroid inhalant Vitiman c IV.
The fucking mask is nothing more than a symbol of slavery.
Yes, symbol of slavery is exactly right. I never thought Americans would so willingly accept slavery.
Brainwashing
I would've but she's my wife's friend, it would have had professional implications for my wife, and she agreed to house-sit for us while we travel. But I wanted to.
Its social conditioning. Those who lack the backbone to stand against the angry mob have no other choice than to submit to the demands of the angry mob. Stand tall, stand strong, or cower in submission.
Hint: not conservative.
I agree, but I know people like this who I know voted for Trump and seem to be conservative in other ways. I think a lot of people are just extreme rule followers.
Some people are attracted to one aspect or another (raised Christian, taught to work hard, whatever), but haven't philosophically explored the breadth of the issue, and haven't awakened to the total depravity of the other side.
Honestly, it's frustrating as fuck, and lots of them will be lost because they're sheep.
Yes, I've noticed that anyone who hasn't carefully thought through their conservative positions is falling away. All my friends who were conservative because of their parents or whatever, jumped on board the Burn Loot Murder and the Covid-1984 hysteria. It's super frustrating.
I wouldn’t let my son go to his friends house because they were going to require him to wear a mask when in their house.
That's what happens when you merely "conserve" your rights instead of defend and reclaim them. They eventually run out.
Masks are just a big compliance test for the government.
Either you actually believe it will help save you from a virus with a 99+% survival rate or you know it's a charade and go along with it anyway.
The only way to win is to not wear a mask.
Exactly right. Choosing to wear a mask in any sort of remotely optional setting is inviting further tyranny.
It takes time for things to percolate into people Consciousness.. You must remember that we are the Tip of the Spear in this fight on the Front of the Information war... It takes time for the people who have spent less time and energy processing this information... They will get to the conclusions and resolve we have built up later.. Become a leader guide people into awareness of the deception the best you can... Events as they come will do the rest...
I agree but it's discouraging because I'm seeing the movement in the opposite direction. Many people I know who were holding out are caving to the Covid bullshit more and more. The goalposts keep moving too.
I only wear masks on Halloween.
Remind them that the "experts" said masks are only to protect others and that you don't care if they give it to you. Then watch the cognitive dissonance make their brains glitch.
Great point. I love watching the NPC cognitive dissonance brain glitch. It's usually followed by anger though, which is fine.
My uncle and his girlfriend completely lost their shit at summer bbq this year completely disowning one his life long friends from childhood, because they were dining outside, even distanced, without masks. Despite them both being raving pill head alcoholics, it's the virus they will decide to be so scared about. It's honestly repulsive, spending a week up there hunting he had really become a different person, already disabled and constantly drunk he seemed almost happy to treat the lockdown as a voluntary death sentence.
It's so sad to see this sort of thing, but it seems to be happening everywhere. We are losing our minds as a people.
“Almost wanted to start an argument”
That’s why it’s happening. Because you’re too soft to debate a friend.
I get what you're saying but not every situation is an appropriate or wise setting to start an argument. There is a time and place for everything. Doesn't mean I'm going soft.
The "new virus strain". Well if it really bothered you and your wife you both should have said something to them and educate them.
Maybe you're right, but the relationship has professional implications for my wife and she is doing us a favor by house-sitting for us while we travel, so it felt inappropriate to start an argument in the context. But you might be right.
I get it. I'm put in similar situations all the time. I still don't partake in the dark occult ritual by wearing a mask but, they're so unawakened regarding how wrong everything is regarding this fake wu-flu
