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.

I had a girl at a gas station refuse to ring me up so I just left everything on the counter and walked out without saying a word. If she doesn’t want my money someone else will.

There needs to be a movement where people all go into these mask Nazi stores without masks and overwhelm them. I would do it I just don't know how to organize it lol

Has to be diverse though if it's a bunch of white guys of course they'll keep it racist. People can get full carts and jam up the line as each is refused service

Honestly, race isn’t an issue. There’s a girl I grew up with in California that’s first generation Mexican decent that’s been all over this by refusing to wear a mask. I’ve actually seen her on the news. My wife’s Mexican born and refuses to wear one as well. I think the idea of revolt is appealing to lots of people.
