Psychology, conflicting rules, misinformation and anxiety fueling bad behavior and violence, experts say

As a culture war rages across the nation over whether to wear protective masks, closer to home the battle is spilling over into store aisles and shopping center parking lots with alarming frequency — and at times violent consequences.

Los Angeles police this week announced the arrest of two brothers who allegedly assaulted store employees and a security guard who attempted to escort them from a Target in Van Nuys for refusing to wear masks. ...

What? A culture war over wearing masks? That would never happen here on FR!

The discussion of mixed messages and "Control aversion" was interesting.

Have MAGA masks started showing up yet?

Well? It’s you’re idea. Go for it.

I haven’t seen any in person, but then I only get out once a week early in the morning.

I know I’ve seen ads for them. And a lot of flag masks.

Googling MAGA masks brings up a lot.

Let’s just wear space suits and be done with it, lol.

The one that follows it, I miss baseball - Kevin James is funny too. Nothing to do with this thread.

Wear one if you want. Dont if you dont.

Not hard.

That’s classic, I personally don’t wear a mask, but if I did it would be a Trump mask

Any nosy neighbor or snooper that asks me why i’m not wearing a mask will still be in ICU WAY after this virus is a memory.

Carrying a bat is better protection than a mask.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Went out today. About 70% of the people were wearing masks. I did not.

You want to wear one? Fine.

But realize that the rest of us are not into virtue signaling.

Yesterday I saw someone wearing a mask that was a parity of Buffalo wild wings. It said Wuhan wild wings, so delicious it’s contagious or something to that effect. The local Karen’s in the grocery store we’re not happy to see it, it was hilarious

Being a good little sheep is important to the Communist Party.

Just ask them what the “expert” who told them to wear a mask now was saying a month ago. A month ago the “experts” were anti mask. Was the expert full of sh!t then, full of sh!t now or just full of sh!t all the time?
