There is someone in my personal life who still gets emotionally worked up whenever they see someone not wearing a mask. It's a visceral reaction and almost instinctive.
I've tried to talk it out, and remind them that even the experts they like admit it's not a perfect shield - the emotional reaction deepens. It's Bad when churches have outdoor assemblies, but it's Fine when the protestors are out in mass crowds, because they're totally all wearing masks. Doesn't matter what the churches do. Doesn't matter what anyone does if they're culturally offensive to the left.
It's an emotional release at this point, and an excuse to be horrible to people. I'm getting very tired of it, a lot of the people buying into this ought to know better but are hitting the easy button when it comes to critical thinking. This person describes themselves as a moderate and wears it as a badge of honor, but takes the default democrat position on almost everything.
We've more or less stopped talking about this stuff completely. There's no reason anymore.
Does he make you wear it when you're just hanging out or whatever? He'd be getting a "go dilate" from me and I'd let him just reeee and fuck off if he kept on about it.
Only outdoors. He lives in a downtown metro area, so it's largely to avoid trouble from any authorities. The furthest I take it is having blue lives matter neck gaiters, which annoys him, but I figure it's fair. He's imposing on me in other ways.
