We have just entered a lock down. Constant 24/7 msm and social media fear mongering propaganda. I walk my dogs out regularly. All of a sudden half the people I see out are wearing the disgusting face diapers. Fortunately, some are not gripped by this fear, we smile, these people are happy and DGAF, and I appreciate the wordless contact. Something genuine about just nodding each other’s head in greeting, it’s made me appreciate the little things like these. I am noticing a pattern. All these mask wearers are afraid. They don’t smile. They won’t look at you in the eye. Some of these brainwashed people will try and give me a stern look. You know what I do. I stare them down with a curious and sometimes disgust look in my face. And almost always they will look away. Anyway, today, I saw a family out. Husband and wife, and their two children. Everyone wearing a mask. The amazing thing is, I caught the husband see me, and as soon as he glimpses how I am not victim to the fear porn, and I’m very happy out with my girls and enjoying the sunshine, he fucking removes his mask.
Guys. Don’t despair. Be a leading example. These guys are victims and we need to show them the way.
Walked by two hikers wearing masks on a forest hike yesterday. The lady said hello in a nice tone. My wife and I could only stare in disgust.
They're stupid. But you can still say hello: being pleasant is often the first step to get folks to open up. The encounters I really loathe are the ones that put on their masks as they approach, advertising their choice of fear.
I agree with you, but we played nice for over a year now. My anger levels are off the charts and I’m feeling like we need to approach this differently now.
Yeah, no judgement here. My actions vary depending on my mood, and the encounter. My neighborhood has folks who wear rubber gloves and improvised beekeeper outfits while walking, while many others ignore the fear. The different examples strike different chords. Sometimes I'm shocked, sometimes disgusted, sometimes saddened, and sometimes hopeful. But seeing people wearing masks on a forest trail or beach is never uplifting.
You have to respond with a smile and "Hello! Sorry, do I know you?"
I do this even with mask-wearers whom I recognise, just to make the point.
I feel if you are sick and have to go to the store to pick up medicine, wear a mask if you want, order the meds to be delivered, or ask someone to pick it up for you, but, do not force me to wear a mask. I choose no mask for me. I want my God given immune system to fight any coodies off. Besides, I got the Chyna Virus Mother's Day 2020, so I am good. I have antibodes.
