Maybe I am losing my faith in other people. At this point if you can't see it how can I trust you?

I don't let false narratives determine if I trust people or not. I trust people or not based on their character.
Surely the mask is a reasonable proxy for character. It is well known that masks do not achieve any medical goal, so wearing one knowing you serve a lie makes you either ignorant and reluctant to learn, or cowardly and willing to obey nonsensical orders.
So say if you are running away from attackers, and you are knocking on doors to try to find sanctuary, anyone opening a door wearing a mask would clearly be a poor choice of place to hide, based purely on the mask as a reflection of character.
I think the difference is that in Panama, where I live, people are not as brainwashed and scared as in the USA. Sure, you see people here wearing masks, but I am yet to see one scream at me for not wearing one out in the street, and people visit others and not wear masks. Sure, there are a few cases where people are too scared but they are more the exception and not the rule. I think that the mass projection psychosis has been applied more on the US than down here.
That is why I don't let a narrative make me doubt people here, but I'm speaking about my own experience. I'm sure in the US is different, I have seen enough psychos there, people you couldn't trust.
