I like masks for defeating surveillance cameras and facial recognition software.

Another one: The sky-is-falling portrayal of our covid problem is a cover story for Biden’s basement strategy.

Ah, liberal feminists. If they like masks, they’ll LOVE burkas.

Masks are dehumanizing. Walk down a masked street, no smiles, no eye contact, no speaking. The communist (democrats) want automatons who only eat, sleep and work. Public places now are straight out of 1984 with Big Brother Tech and true believers watching and informing on anyone who strays.

“Jealousy is part of human nature, to be sure, but it also seems to be a bigger problem among those on the left. That’s ultimately why they tend to favor socialism over a free market system. Seeing other people succeed wildly doesn’t drive these ghouls to work hard and seek their own success, but instead makes them want to steal it in some way, preferably legally using government force.”

I understand jealousy as far as during a relationship if one is a flirt or invites flirting but I never did understand ones jealousy over another’s success.

I have never felt resentment towards anyone who has more than I do and trust me there are plenty who do. Instead I admire the success they attained which allowed them to pursue the grand lifestyle.

People who are jealous in this way are in my view people who are failures and know they are failures.

Just as, "national security," is cited as a convenient excuse for government opacity and masking corrupt activities, "public health," has become the go-to citation for forcible behavior modification and manipulation of public activities.

This did not start, however, with COVID-19. The wave of self-righteous anti-smoking sentiment going back to the 1970s and 1980s taught petty tyrants at all levels from the mayors of small towns to the upper reaches of the federal government what a useful cudgel they had with the public health/greater good hammer, especially when they could blend some actual information with inflammatory rhetoric and cultivate/manipulate public sentiment.

Smokers have subsequently been relegated to second class citizen status, and soon, non-maskers will feel the same kind of heat. The playbook used for, "second-hand smoke," has once again been cracked open to control, "second-hand breath."

Frankly, a lot of us saw this coming when commercial property owners were directed by government that they could no longer decide for themselves whether or not they could sanction a legal activity on their property.

Anybody who self-righteously supported wholesale public smoking bans really has no right to bitch about being compelled to wear a mask - it's a barn door they helped open.

Yes there are definitely some positives with hiding identity from the nanny state... Also great for public bathrooms and Porta potties, or covering my coffee breath.

Absolutely right, deadspunned.

We are being trained for total submission.

It seems like personality is what determines political leaning.

Those who love to control go to the left.

Those who love their freedom, go to the right.

I see everyone in masks walking into a local store...along with myself. I call us "Fauci's lab rats". Cuz that's what we are...something to provide statistics.

Fauci says Trump had a super spreader but refuses to say the protests are super spreaders because that would be a political call.

antifa, black bloc, and blm love masks because it makes it impossible to determine who threw that rock through the window, that battering ram through the window, who attacked that store, who attacked that house, who threw that firebomb, who attacked that police car, who attacked that police station, etc, etc, etc.
