This is the case in Portland. I work at a retail store. Two months ago? Almost all the masks were finally off!
Now they're 60% back!?
... yeah yeah I KNOW it's Portland this town is FUCKED but just weird the masks are making such a major comeback for no apparent reason - if they were spinning more Monkeypox fear or whatever maybe it would make sense. But when I ask the maskers why they're wearing a mask again suddenly after a few months if not ... "I don't know everyone else is"
... Goddamnit ...
I even know someone who's ANTI-MASK and has been against the mandates and now that the mandates are finally over ! ...
THIS MOTHERFUCKER BROUGHT MASKS TO AN EVENT HE HELD AND GAVE EVERYONE ONE
They WERE optional. But it was his event and he was handing them out so it shouldn't take big brains to figure out socially most people will put it on.
I told him it was one of the most hypocritical things I've ever seen someone do. Motherfucker basically said "I'm just trying not to be an asshole I just wanted to make them available! I didn't make anyone wear it!?"... Well you're kinda a two-face so ... avoiding being an asshole by compromising your other values ... is dumb and evil.
You whined about the masks for the last two years. And then encouraged everyone to keep up their behavior.
I reminded him what the suicide rate is for teens right now and told him everytime you hand a parent a mask and tell them it's okay if they want to wear one, you're encouraging that parent that they're alright to mask their kids - something he's previously agreed was sick.
He took the criticism fairly well considering how harsh it was. But the guilt of standing up for himself will always outweigh his guilt over compromising the truth. And he'll avoid the one he's most guilty about.
And that describes most maskers I know here.
