Good. Fuck you. I hope you feel as stupid as you look.

perhaps if the country had avoided politicizing the practice early on

This is rich. They always do this.

"Wear the mask bigot."

"No you can't make me."

"STOP POLITICIZING THE ISSUE!"

It's like a guy I know who is generally very much apolitical, at the beginning of the pandemic said, "Look all I'm saying is the people out there not wearing masks are very much voting for one party in particular."

Good observation. You just added to the polarization, dipshit.

Sovereign is he who sets the null hypothesis. The political positions progressives hold are the default behavior of a good person. Opposing their policies is politics.

I was a relatively less political person myself, before that shit started...

Then I had people threatening me to my face, for being "unjabbed", or for "not wanting to wear the mask". Even to the point of having providers threaten to remove my access to healthcare services, unless I "jabbed up". That would "radicalise" pretty much anyone, I feel...

Your scam is over, retards. Even the normies are sick of you dicking them around. Time to move onto the next con.

Americans’ fraught relationship with masks “didn’t have to be like this,” Tropp told me—perhaps if the country had avoided politicizing the practice early on, perhaps if there had been more emphasis on collective acts of good.

You can only appeal to the collective in an ethnically homogenous state.

Things liberals consider “collective acts of good”: Abortion, forced medical procedures, forced self harm, enabling delusional fantasies, normalizing degeneracy to include pedophilia, forced language, and on and on

Good.

Now it needs to be awkward to announce your pro-nouns like some stupid nutjob.

I think it's already very awkward to say "Yo, call me shiggy/wiggy/xiggy/zem when I'm not around and can't police your words and thoughts personally."

Confining myself to a terrestrial label like that would really mess with my chakras.

Gonna steal shiggy/wiggy for when the UN arrests me for "existing as a White male on stolen land" and forces me at gunpoint to write down my pronouns

I hate to suggest that this narrative isn't organic, but they wheeled out (*oof) similar "disability advocates", this week, in my very small, obscure part of the world, to say almost the exact same lines...

That can't possibly be coincidental.

They're using the disability angle with Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman because he had a massive stroke a few months ago and he's now cognitively impaired. Pointing out that he's mentally incapable of the job is now apparently "ableist".

I mean, if they “allowed” that, uhh… You seen Biden lately? Or indeed Pelosi?? Or almost any of the other 80+ year-old members of your political “establishment”…?

There’s no way they could allow that precedent! Imagine if people could freely point out that Biden can barely string two sentences together, half the time!

None of it is coincidental.

Every mainstream narrative on the current thing whether it is COVID or Trump or Russia/Ukraine conflict is being coordinated by globalist scum.

WEF never stops pushing the same things globally.

Masks ARE akin to wheelchairs and prosthetics:

If you're using one and you don't need to, people are gonna give you funny looks. If you do need to, they will give you the space you need. Because people are gonna wonder WHY you're wearing the mask. Robbing the place? Hiding your ID? Stealing from other customers? Planning a terror attack? Have COVID or influenza? Even at the height of NPC panic-programming, they said masks prevent spread, not self-infection, implying if you're wearing one now, you have something nasty you could spread.

So criminal or petri-dish, either way, makes sense to give you wide berth.

No, "awkward" was when you freaks threatened to yank my autistic daughter's paraprofessional services (that we paid for entirely out of pocket) unless me, my wife, and all of our other children wore masks inside our own home the entire time the para was present. And then you followed through when we said we weren't doing that. Poof, no more services.

"Awkward" was when you people tried to have me arrested for not being masked at a school board meeting--my presence there being to ask, after 8 months, exactly how long into the future you were intending to keep the public schools entirely shuttered, in the absence of a single covid fatality in our city for months.

Speaking of "awkward," it was pretty "awkward" when one of you zombies actually came at me with a mask in your hands and attempted to physically put it on my face, when I came into a clinic to have my fractured toe looked at. You looked at me like I was the crazy one when I dodged to the side, waved, said "No, thank you!" and left.

I don't think it was me who made things "awkward" when, in the middle of a long car trip with the family, I went into a gas station to buy gas station pizza for the kids. I waited in line, had the food on plates in the open air, paper cash money in-hand, then the the maskologist cashier said that in order to ring me up, I was going to have to go to my car and get "my mask." Motherfucker, I don't have a "my mask," I don't have any mask, and I'm certainly not going to do this stupid song and dance just to pick up trash road food. But the look you gave me as I left empty-handed sure was "awkward."

Fuck you unthinking drones to the Moon and back. Not only should anyone continuing this charade be openly gawked at like they've got a weeping disfigurement at all times, anyone who ever told another human being that they had to don the sacred face-tissue should have the outline of these things tattooed on their fucking face for all eternity.

Not good enough. People should shame them like they did at the start! Call them chickens and cry babies, make them regret the pearl clutching these assholes did when the Faux-demic started.

But the about-face my cousin and his wife identified does mark a new phase of the pandemic

The current "phase" is that it's over. Sorry leftists, the pandemic is over because herd immunity was achieved the hard way: everyone got COVID and then recovered from it. And we now know that the masks, jabs, and 6 feet apart did nothing to stop COVID from running its course.

I somehow doubt the claim that 80% of people were masking in july on flights. I've been on multiple flights this year. And flew out literally days after the mask mandate was over and less than 50% of people had masks on and I live in a major liberal city.

People around here thankfully just stopped wearing masks a year ago, when I go out I see maybe one person with one the whole day, if I'm unlucky. I always make sure to be as much of an asshole to them as possible given the circumstances.

The Atlantic suffers from cognitive dissonance, same as every other feminist rag. This is the same media outlet that openly celebrates having a writer whose autobiography admits to committing a violent racial hate crime… (Coates)

That Uber driver was trying to help her. She was scared of facing the reality that she was duped.
