So i have a theory that the face masks were strictly kept around for hiding identities during last years riots.
Do you guys think this could be found to be true through an email drop at some point or maybe it could come out as a project Veritas investigation.
You gave a lot of reasons, all of which i see feesible. I also think if they could have taken this further, they would be using facial recognition software on the CCTV from stores to see who the resistance leaders would be.
The government does mess with people that it sees as a hinderance to their plans. I bet you conservatives get audited by the IRS exponentially more than liberals.
Oh yeah I heard that too, Chinese facial recognition to see who isn't falling in line. Tbh I think most of it is just to prolong the justification of it, rather than specifically sinister reasons. People wear masks for certain job roles on a daily basis without much harm, so the actual wearing isn't an issue.
What this really shows is how easy it is to get a large portion of the population to do something completely unnecessary without having them question why
