I wore a mask the other day to go to Costco for the first time in months. I really wanted to go and brought one of my old masks they handed me at the Doctors office months ago. Wearing a mask was dehumanizing and I felt very ashamed for doing it. I saw a group of 3 people not wearing a mask and I felt more ashamed of myself. Why wasn't I brave enough to not wear the mask?
Today I redeemed myself and regained some of my humanity. My state of Michigan requires a mask under penalty of a misdemeanor and $500 fine. I had to build up my courage but I went grocery shopping and did not wear a mask. I saw only one other person not wearing a mask and 1 person with the mask pulled down completely.
It isn't much but I told myself that if I can't stand up for a small infringement on my rights that I will never stand up for a large infringement.
Nobody said anything until I was headed out the door when the greeter said "No mask today?" I'm not quick on my feet so I was prepared and just said "No, I'm good!" and kept moving.
Great job!
I make quick eye contact and say nothing. There was a girl at Walmart that tried and I ignored her. Then they sent an older guy and I ignored him too. It’s hilarious to see their reactions when you acknowledge them with eye contact, then ignore them like they’re not even there.
I think I will use that technique next time!
Think of it like a game. lol
Imma use that!
Why even bother making eye-contact? They don't deserve it.
I just tell them not to believe everything they hear on tv.
“No thanks I’m good.” Always what I say when walking into any place that requires masks. Well said. You owe no explanation. You owe them NOTHING. Never feel guilty or weak or doubt yourself. You know what’s right. Do it.
Whenever a stranger talks to you in less than a polite manner, reply with one utterance and nothing else.
In sha Allah.
Arabic for, God wills it.
If they ask what you said, say it again and nothing else.
The leftists/globalists will never question a Muslim... for anything.
Don't do it in China, it will get you sent to a concentration camp. Not kidding.
No. Claiming to be a muslim would destroy my soul. I can't be dishonest and free at the same time.
You are not claiming anything. When an Army Ranger/Navy Seal sits down with the Taliban and has tea, dressed as a local and does not offer the wrong hand to greet them... it does not mean he has adopted the Muslim faith.
You are merely speaking a few choice words, to set the "Karens" back on their heels.
