The True Reason For Masks posted 4 hours ago by BeThePatriarchy +12 / -0 Power. The government wants to grow in power by having control over the people’s actions.
“But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.” -George Orwell, 1984
The point of the government not just recommending masks but particularly making them mandatory is fundamentally to test their power and see if they can bully the citizens into being complicit, whether they like it or not. It doesn’t matter if you wear the mask, but secretly still think it’s stupid; the point is they’ve successfully stomped you down into physical compliance; and psychologically established a power-relationship over you. It sets a precedent: You now have to do what I say, no matter what, but also PRECISELY for when you disagree. It’s like in prison those power games you hear about.
A cell mate enters his cell and meets a dude already there. “You are now my bitch. Clean my shoes. Twice. And a third time. How ‘bout a fourth time.” That prison dude doesn’t care about having clean shoes; no more does the government care about your health.
It’s about power. And the thing is; the more you comply, the more your OWN psychology actually changes and you BECOME weaker. Our actions not only define but also mould us. If I spend every day for a year acting like a pussy; having shrugged shoulders, never looking anyone in the eye, being a pushover at work; no matter the initial reason; even if it’s just as a social experiment, You will come out feeling like a pussy too. This is psychologically proven. It’s why people say to stand up straight with your shoulders back. Actions set the path for your mentality. Actions are where it counts.
Another example is how the Christian disciples in Ancient Rome were commanded to renounce their faith or worship whatever king/pagan god, or else face death in the coliseum. The tyrant in that situation is aware of course that the Christian’s “renouncing” of their faith, or “worship” of the pagan Gods is going to be anything but genuine, but rather done entirely out of fear. But that’s the point. “I can make you do it anyway.” Power is never about the specifics of the scenario; it’s purely about the getting you to do what they want specifically in CONTRAST of your own will. That’s what the mandatory masks are. It sets the tone for the government to dominate you and grow in power.
Everything else; the fact that masks dehumanize people, cause distrust and division between civilians, (such as with neighbor's calling the police on each other), the fact that this all leads to a society that is deprived and depressed and socially vulnerable; these are all notable side-bonuses; useful tools aiding the effort of making the masses easier to control. But the whole thing is fundamentally about power. The government just wants more power.
And What else is new, historically speaking? So the question is: are you going to let them make you their bitch?
Or will you stand up instead, go unmasked everywhere, refuse the vaccine, speak out against the lockdowns, and be an inspiration to your fellow countrymen at this time when it is precisely most needed?
Yep great post and you’re right. I never wear my mask (except inside of stores or I’ll be kicked out but then I live in Paris, not the same as in the US). Anyway, I’ve noticed that it is a DUTY not to wear a mask so that it empowers others to do the same.
Don't wear a mask even inside a store. I went into a store yesterday - a pharmacy - and everyone was wearing masks - all the customers + couple employees. I went in, shopped, walked around, did what I had to do, then checked out & paid for my items. No mask the whole time.
Nobody said one damn word to me about it.
No offense, but you are missing the point of the post if you "wear a mask when you have to" - that's literally what the post is about, is the government exerting its physical power over your body.
No; the time when you should MOST NEVER wear a mask is when you are "most required" to - inside stores, airports, wherever.
If you are going to hold yourself up as an example for people to follow, you must not comply when it is most difficult, not the easiest.
What; do you put on your mask in the store & make exaggerated movements of ripping it off in disgust when you exit?
Wow...so brave. Everyone does that.
Never. Wear. A mask. They are harmful to your health, mentally and physically.
Well sir, I can tell you. In my state you won't need to leave your house to shop without a mask because you wot get through the door. Nevada
Same in NY. Even in very rural communities. "No masks, no service". Businesses and schools alike are taking it even a step further, than Cuomo's EO (which was to put on a mask if you can't maintain 6 ft apart). The local - county health depts., they have been truly weaponized under "State of Emergency", when it comes to business and school closures/quarantines. The abject failure of leadership and oversight statewide of elected officials @ the county level straight up to Commindant Cuomo.
We have been shown drastically what happens when petty tyranny is established in a state by a governor-it goes top down to all the little tyrants that perceive they hold power over others or believe themselves virtuous enough to correct other people in the ways of correctness. Submission is required, harassment is variable in the time in of the tyranny. Memos flowed after 6 months in and crackdowns commenced here in Colorado.
I believe Masks HARM people, emotionally and physically and it makes me sick to my stomach when I see sheep not doing their own research to learn how large the size of a virus is verses the distance between fibers in a mask.
So, instead of making other people feel safe and wearing one, I do not. I believe we should put on banners -
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF A VIRUS vs. THE DISTANCE OF FIBERS in a mask????
Exactly. The responses I always get tho are “yeah but study’s show....” ?. As if studies and “peer reviews” are beyond reproach. If it involves people, it’s easily corruptible
I am normally very positive. Today I want to fight and destroy them all. I would rather have to survive the chaos or perish rather than the slow boil we are experiencing. PRESIDENT Trump, if you guys truly have this shit figured out then you may want to get it finished. Im not interest in a soft correction that lands you back in office. I want a chance to destroy them for their lies. I want the terrorist on the left to see tjey lost and spend their lives in hiding. You have asked us to allow this oppression and to sit on our asses and wait. You ask a lot of any of us who spent our lives defending this nation ready to die for it. So with thanks giving to God I pray for your efforts and wait. But you should know, many of us are almost to the end of our endurance. Your movement will abandon us if we act without you. Fine, none the less our suffering is now on you and not the democrats. Remember that. A faithful follower of freedom and truth. Note, if I am growing weary, imagine those not trained to be patient like many of us were in the military. Also, I've been waiting for this fix since the Clinton administration. So it's been a 30 year exercise in patience, not four. We anxiously await your response.
I agree with this. But from talking to people.
Most people seem to believe there is a legit end to the mask wearing. In their minds. A lot see it being over in the next few months.
I think if they keep it going past the summer time. You will have more people start to revolt against it.
Time is ticking on the mask experiment. It's not a long term solution.
Unfortunately I live in a blue state. I am lucky enough to live in a small town. In the beginning of this nonsense I believed the hype and sewed 100s of mask to donate. Then our governor went off the rails and made up a whole bunch of stupid limitations on our freedoms and I lost it. I don’t know what I would have done with out Q to give me hope because back then people thought I was insane. It’s been a year and I have worn a mask one time and that was when we went to dinner with friends. I have panic attacks and literally can’t breath. I have been challenged three times and two of those incidents ended where I will never go into the place of business again. I don’t understand allowing these people to control our lives. I honest am more upset at the weak people that just go along to get along despite knowing the truth of all this. Kills me that theses are Americans to scared to buck the system.
Excellent post!!!!
I can honestly say that I do everything to NOT comply; to resist, and to help wake others up.
I do not wear a mask.
I have never worn a mask and refuse to. God help the poor soul that tries to push it on me because it will not end well for them I guarantee you that. I WILL NOT comply....period.
I have yet to encounter a place that has kicked me out or refused to serve me for not wearing one. I have seen a mask nazi get asked to leave from a store. The most I get are random employees asking me to wear one which I just respond "no thanks" and keep going about my business. Guess its different depending on the area and I don't really go to alot of different places to begin with but seems alot less mask nazi type people and stores out there at least in my experience.
PIN THIS PLEASE
Remember: Once they have totally control, they will take what's left you still have.
Life.
I always thought the mask was symbolic of the greatest heist in the history of the world. Like the old west ?
My partner seems to think that even if masks mostly don't work, but might in a marginal situation, that this is enough reason to be compelled to wear them. She doesn't think the same of HCQ though.
She's a big goverment leftie so CANNOT think that a government would want to demonstrate dominance for its own sake. Her programming won't allow the thought. It doesn't matter if you talk about the Soviet Union or Cambodia.
I tell her that dominance is an emergent property of collectivism and she's thinks I am insane, even given the mechanism and the examples.
Brainwashing is incredible
Just tell her to prove they do work. And say passing you an article isn't proof.
I think it specifically says on some N95 mask boxes that they don't work for coronaviruses, but there's no convincing her, she needs to hear it from MSM or government, not her high IQ autist partner who spends time reading the published papers and discussing the science with strangers. According to her, if it isn't mainstream, it isn't true.
I was like her before I got redpilled. We have two children, one very disabled, non verbal.
Life is full of compromises
It'll happen when the MSM or one of her friends redpills her. She'll also never apologise for her attitude, she'll write it off that I was wrong to think such things without mainstream evidence, even if they turned out by coincidence to be true.
IMO some people have such investment in their model of the world and how it works that they will go to great lengths to psychologically protect that model because their ego is attached to it.
Yes, sometimes I think about what life would be like with a partner who likes me for being redpilled.
You feel like a badass because you are one! :-) I smile at everyone when out and about.
Thanks for the reminder to smile. I need to do that. I always put on a "Don't fucking say a word to me" face.
Smiling is the best bit. Properly confident people don't seek either approval or confrontation, but just radiate goodwill. It's disarming!
I whistle more often, and make a point of smelling flowers (So Cal, roses are blooming) more often, too.
What a tease!
The fear some show make me feel....I AM LEGEND!!! :P
