I wanted to rewrite this post because my last one had a lot of on-the-fly edits and I think I can make this cleaner.
Here's what we should do:
-
Find people in your neighborhood/community who are sick of masks and want a change and invite them to participate. Start a facebook group or get people on a massive text chain or something like that.
-
Decide the dates and times you plan to do this. Get people to go in groups of at least 15, the bigger the better. That's disruptive, and frankly, people can go in all day in different shifts and keep it going.
-
Decide on the grocery store you wish to target.
-
Go in with masks on, grab a cart, and grab all the perishable goods (meat, cheese, milk, eggs, etc.) along with a few other things to make replacing things more time consuming.
-
Place your list with the demands on the top of the cart filled with items (it will say "replace your 'masks required signs' with a 'we support your constitutional rights--no masks required' signs and then these actions will stop.")
-
Walk your cart to the front of the store.
-
Leave it there and go home.
This way we:
-
Avoid physical confrontations
-
Avoid being identified so we can be charged with trespassing, etc.
-
Create real disruption for these business owners forcing them to change.
I just dont wear one. Havent all year. When they ask me to put a mask on i politely say "no thank you" and keep walking.
If they are persistent, then i make sure to let the owner know that i will never shop there again.
Currently there are enough based stores and restaurants near me for everything i need.
Neat. For some the problem is bigger, and the enforcers, more aggressive. If this doesn't apply to you great.
They only seem to pull that bs on woman and older people. My wife had someone say some dumb shit to her at the store once when she was by herself, but never when we're together.
But we are all a beacon of influence whether we recognize it or not. I've had people take their masks off after seeing me without one multiple times. No one wants to wear them. Only a very select few idiots blindly follow.Or seen people at the gas pumps with a mask in their hand checking out the area, see my inside without one, and put it in their pocket.
We have to be unified with our response.
I think what's great about this method is it doesn't require a lot of us to do it. Just grab a group of your friends and a few of theirs in a given area and go hit a few grocery stores a few times a week until they comply. You don't even have to stop shopping there for your normal shit. You just make them dedicate time and resources to fixing an annoying problem that will all go away if they just switch the signs out on their store that says they support the basic human right to breathe freely and that all patrons are welcome with or without masks.
Simple and easy.
