What I’ve been saying since March 2020.
Just.
Don’t.
Comply.
#BeUngovernable.

I recall you posting that many times, CDY. You were ahead of your time and that can be a lonely place to be. You know that better than many. I was alone in entering stores unmasked in 2020, especially starting in August when the Ontario government mandated mask-wearing in public. I refused even then and stood up to the people who confronted me. It was daunting at times having to steel myself just to buy a few groceries, and I longed for the day when I could go in without being harassed.
That day came and I often wonder if any of those who confronted me ever changed their minds about their righteousness, and felt shame over their blind obedience to such a useless measure. Probably not, but maybe they’ll remember that tiny woman who was alone in refusing to comply, and who didn’t back down as the silent many watched others confronting her. My hope is that some of them will join me the next time in “Being American”, which to me is a euphemism for Actively Fight For Your Freedom.

I will no longer feel compelled to be considerate of others.
The societal contract has been broken and nullified by society as a whole.
I was found to be sub-human by society.
I was not accorded simple human dignity.
I will no longer honor my part in that old contract.
I will no longer be considerate of the general public.
I will not be nice, just because I may offend someone.
I will not extend common courtesies if they are not required.
I will not put the best construction on another’s situation if it is not warranted.
Sadly, this applies to my family, also.
