With you on your sentiments, and recently had a similar experience. After being in business for five years, then closing, then opening (with masks) and then being told to close again, I was getting a haircut at a local downtown barbershop. The storefront windows were covered in butcher paper to conceal the horrible things going on inside, except for a little area left uncovered. Various plants were placed there for light. Mid cut, a woman’s face appeared in the uncovered pane, followed by an insistent rap. One of the barbers, a woman, went out to see what the deal was. “ARE YOU CUTTING HAIR IN THERE???!!! YOU CAN’T CUT HAIR! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!!!!” The barber replied, “Well, I need money to feed myself and my son, and I need to pay my rent so we have a place to live. I’ve got to get back to work now. Have a good day.” Saw the woman on her cell phone a few minutes later pacing outside the shop when I left. I feel fairly certain she was desperate to find some “official” to come down t stage a “raid” and arrest everyone in the place. Good God.
Masks help standard suburban liberals unleash their inner brownshirt.
In a small area such as where I live, there isn’t a lot of this kind of stuff going on. Most everybody just lets the other person lead their own life, but you still seem to get a little indication that certain others are not only leading their own life, but want to assist you in leading yours, whether you want that help or not. After all the info out there on the masks, there still seem to be many that are uninitiated as to their lack of effectiveness and they seem to think their mission in life is to advise everyone else about wearing their masks. Sometimes you are greeted at the entrance to a business place by someone handing out masks to those who don’t already have one. To me this is a little like handing out preprinted ballots & being reminded to vote, even though they have already printed in who you should vote for.
I think Dr.Deth drives to the heart of it, and it is generally a key difference between Leftists and Conservatives.
Inside the heart of every Leftist is a tyrant, they want to govern the behavior of every other person. This gives them an excuse to exercise that power.
