If you aren't willing to risk a minimal fine to defend your rights, you can't claim to be ready for the real fight that is coming.
This is an escalation process. We don't just go from silent majority to 1776. We must progress through the steps and inspire the will to fight in those around us before they will wake up.
Might I suggest a fund created to help pay fines for violations?
Edit: to be clear, I'm not anti-mask. I'm anti-mandate. If you are symptomatic then you should be wearing a mask to prevent transmission.
Bigger fish to fry than the mask debate, in my humble opinion. It's literally one of the easiest things in the world to do to put one on so it doesn't bother me personally. I'm sure this will get a negative response here, which is fine. I just don't think it's that big of a deal to wear one.
Each to their own is my stance, I'm not going to criticize you for it, I'm simply against the mandates and hysteria surrounding it.
It’s not about whether it’s a big deal or not to wear one, it’s about the principle of forcing people TO wear one. If you don’t give people a choice, you’re going to get pushback. Prohibition never works.
That's fine, I just find it just as obnoxious to tell people not to wear masks as it is to tell people to wear them. Wear them if you want. Don't wear them if you don't want. There are just way more important things, the masks are symbolic I guess of oppression but the shut downs and riots, among other things, are far worse.
