So I was standing outside a mall waiting to meet some friends this morning. Key word: outside. Some mask cultist walks by and the following encounter ensued:
Cultist: “Put on a mask”
Me (looking around, seeing that I’m 15 feet or more away from anyone else): “No”
The cultist proceeds to glare at me as he walks to his car. I smirk at him in amusement. He gets in his car to drive away, flipping me off as he goes. A number of other people including parents and children in the area witnessed his childish display of devotion to the mask cult. I laugh at him. This only makes him angrier as he drives away. The cultists are so brainwashed that they think it’s okay to try to enforce their beliefs on others and to make obnoxious gestures to those that refuse to comply. Anyone else got good stories of interacting with mask cultists?
I really don’t understand how people are so completely brainwashed that they feel compelled to force their delusions on those around them. The boldness seems so strange to me. I’ve yet to have anyone say anything to me about not wearing a mask. I did have a twenty-something masked clerk be snippy with me but she didn’t say anything from behind her plexiglass shield. I have also noticed an uptick in the numbers of people around me wearing masks, whereas before it was a mix of masks and no masks (I live in a mask mandated state). I’ve gotten to where I shop at places where no one wears masks.
