Americans Can’t Stop Mask Debating
Kottke ^ | 7/29/20 | Jason Kottke

Posted on 07/30/2020 3:53:47 AM PDT by Libloather

A compilation of TV news clips of people saying “mask debate” (which sounds very much like another unrelated word when spoken — try saying it out loud right now to see what I mean), stitched together by the folks at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. It feels good to laugh at infuriating things sometimes.

BTW, the actual debate over masks will continue to wane - science and then culture will win most people over and it’ll just become a normal thing that most people do in public all the time, like wearing shoes or carrying a bag.

it’s near zero in grocery store as well. It may even enhance the spread

Birx was on FoxNuze this morning, and asked if the guideline will shift from mask to face shield. She talked but did not respond to the question.

The look on Pete Hegseth’s face was priceless.

She also didn’t answer about school opening.

Having watched her in action, and not just this morning, she is a real snake. Don’t believe a word of what she says. She has an agenda, and her agenda is control.

Masks have been quite common in Japan for decades.

This isn't Japan. This is America, damn it! Live free or die!

Cute, but it is implied that masks are here to stay. Wear one if you want to. It will surely save you from those who choose not to.

The scarf and the dwarf pose a clear and present danger to us with their misinformation campaign that we’re paying them to wage.

I am confused about whether or not ADA, HIPPA, or DOJ can force the use of a mask.

Many companies are backing away from enforcing the mask rule, I just need some logic so that I can debate a couple of liebrals.

TIA

Gutfeld retweeted that video yesterday. I showed it to my wife this morning and she caught it on the 3rd or 4th maskdebate. Seems like it’s going over most freeper’s heads though. https://twitter.com/greggutfeld/status/1288599827316645889

Exactly. Anyone who has been manipulated in ways like this (mask-wearing requirements) can see this farce for what it is. It is unhealthy to our psyches at a minimum.

It will always starts with a little thing and then spiral into the rest of the freedoms one by one.

Totally agree. And once people are conditioned to wear masks and it’s considered part of normal every day life it will be onto something else to control us further. And then the cycle starts anew....

What I’m really worried about is the kids being brought up with this. If it ends soon, they’ll forget it, but if it’s extended, we’re going to have some serious psychological problems coming up.

“Wear one if you want to. It will surely save you from those who choose not to.”

You might want to lose the, “surely”. Masks won’t save anyone from anything.

I just made a basic mask with a relatively large flat surface in the front. I sewed a pocket of clear vinyl to the front so I can slip in various messages that I create in Word. The current one: “FREEDOM doesn’t look like this”

“Masks won’t save anyone from anything.“

Yeah, that was sarcasm. I can’t help myself.

Oh, I agree. There will be a lot of fallout from this in so many different ways. I have a niece who has an infant daughter, and she has become very very scared of anyone else, more so than usual separation anxiety. I hope this won’t affect her in some deep way.

Will it saves us from people who obey so quickly and easily like you? Hopefully anyway.
