I was at the gym this morning and saw three people exercising in masks, two of whom were easily under 40. This fear is infecting the minds of people and for what?

i dunno- it’s silly- at this point, it’s pretty obvious that it’s nothing but a power play with the left- they seem to be saying “Obey us, even though there is no sane reason to do so, or suffer the consequences”. Below is a quote by theodore something or other- which i think illustrates perfectly what is going on

To enstate comunism or marxism. They are playing It by the rulebook.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.

When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.

One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”

Written by Theodore Dalrymple
