While what you did was right, you can't communicate with these mentally ill people. It sucks for the kid but no words from your mouth are going to unmask the poor thing. All you did was give the mental case a solid reinforcement (in her warped mind) that she is absolutely right because you were kicked out. Sorry man, you just have to leave them alone and throw a blessing and a prayer over the kid on your way by.
If PepeSee turns into 100 more, and 100 more of that, well eventually we shame them back into the socialism closet. Too many here speak against taking action if any kind. Passivity is our worst attribute.
Yep, at first they just wanted to get married right? We were fine with that, who gives a rats ass what the homos are doing. Now they're cramming the shit down our throat every chance they get. Can't watch any sort of TV show without seeing some kind of PRIDE front and center.
I admit my first thought was "you really can't try to dictate how these people destroy their own kids right now", but then my second thought was that yes, you're right, why the fuck not? They're all so quick to try and shame us, we really should be flipping the script
I mean, no defending anyone who chooses wilful stupidity, but would anybody on the planet admit they're wrong to a perfect stranger on the spot?
It's always on your own time, like three months later, that you realize if you're actually wrong. So, while the 4-6% thing totally points to a legitimate phenomenon, a little patience could go a long way.
I was in a store in Manassas Va today. I couldn’t believe how many people had masks on, children all masked. Stupidity and gullibility run amok. Closer you get to DC…..
Part of this multifaceted attack through covid was to teach more normies how to use webcams and computers well enough to work from home. It pushed the tech a lot farther in two years.
And now AR / VR has a lot more fuel to it as well. Which I'm glad for, just not the way they achieved it.
Next step is to completely isolate so that guys can just pretend to be furry cat girls in VR for the next 10 years until AGI comes and transforms the world in some mind exploding way.
Honestly, I think that may be it. It’s like my daughters blankey when she was 2-3. When shit got tense, here came the blankey. Shit heating up. Looking bad for the jabbies. Country going shit. Grab the mask.
This is the case in Portland. I work at a retail store. Two months ago? Almost all the masks were finally off!
Now they're 60% back!?
... yeah yeah I KNOW it's Portland this town is FUCKED but just weird the masks are making such a major comeback for no apparent reason - if they were spinning more Monkeypox fear or whatever maybe it would make sense. But when I ask the maskers why they're wearing a mask again suddenly after a few months if not ... "I don't know everyone else is"
... Goddamnit ...
I even know someone who's ANTI-MASK and has been against the mandates and now that the mandates are finally over ! ...
THIS MOTHERFUCKER BROUGHT MASKS TO AN EVENT HE HELD AND GAVE EVERYONE ONE
They WERE optional. But it was his event and he was handing them out so it shouldn't take big brains to figure out socially most people will put it on.
I told him it was one of the most hypocritical things I've ever seen someone do. Motherfucker basically said "I'm just trying not to be an asshole I just wanted to make them available! I didn't make anyone wear it!?"... Well you're kinda a two-face so ... avoiding being an asshole by compromising your other values ... is dumb and evil.
You whined about the masks for the last two years. And then encouraged everyone to keep up their behavior.
I reminded him what the suicide rate is for teens right now and told him everytime you hand a parent a mask and tell them it's okay if they want to wear one, you're encouraging that parent that they're alright to mask their kids - something he's previously agreed was sick.
He took the criticism fairly well considering how harsh it was. But the guilt of standing up for himself will always outweigh his guilt over compromising the truth. And he'll avoid the one he's most guilty about.
My partner has a business that will be difficult to rebuild when we move cities. If we moved now and ANYTHING went wrong ... we'd be FUCKED.
And while I am a risk taker and to me that sounds like "okay, it's a risk but this is important let's make it happen" ... he is not this way, he's a newly awakened libfuckretard and while he doesn't think any of the brainwashed shit anymore, he still thinks LIKE he does.
Like anyone coming out of a cult, it might take a few YEARS for them to be capable of rational thought regularly and automatically. Right now he's just at the stage where he knows he was brainwashed and he even knows the facts of what really happened. But getting him to see he's still thinking the same WAY he was before, can sometimes be a real challenge - a challenge that frankly will be the ultimate success or downfall of our relationship.
So we're just saving our pennies and taking our time to decide what new city we'd most likely really like.
He's rooting for Austin. I get it. It's hip. Lots of music stuff which is his business, he's a piano teacher.
I'm thinking Houston or maybe Memphis or Nashville. I'm not totally opposed to Austin, at the end of the day it's still Texas, but it also doesn't make any fucking sense to move TO a city that's not super different than the one I'm trying to get away from.
I actually don’t live in Manassas, I’m further West. Lived in the Fairfax vicinity the first few years but the blueness there dang near killed me and we got out and further west.
You tried to do the right thing, that is all you can do. One day the mom will realize you were right. I hope you left a cart full of groceries behind that they now have to put away.
In my local Kroger, they still play the automated half hourly "conditioning" propaganda over the speakers.
I still can't believe they actually call it "the hourly conditioning protocol for C19" out loud as if a PSA. HELLO!!! Normies! Did you hear that? They literally state they are mentally conditioning you right before doing so every 30 minutes.
You mean like how we were accosted in literally every business for not wearing a mask, and filmed, and put on the internet, then shamed by MSM? That kind of stranger?
I kinda feel like we shouldn't be sinking to their level. Some mothers truly believe masks will block the virus. While traveling, I noticed a sign at the airport claiming that wearing a mask will stop transmission of covid 99.8% of the time. That probably reflects the beliefs of a lot of mask wearers.
Though, honestly, I think if you don't wear a mask, the virus won't transmit 99.8% of the time.
That’s not harassment, that’s just a comment. If she said she didn’t want to hear it but you stayed in her space and persisted commenting to her, that could be harassment. Her overreaction of karening to the manager shows that you spiked her conscience. I wouldn’t be surprised if she went home and looked at the cost/ benefit analysis of masking.
I was somewhere recently, did something I didn't realize was against the rules, and the worker came and just yelled at me telling me I was wrong. No get to know you, how's things going, just "don't do that."
Bent me out of shape for a few; however, I learned a lesson I thought I had already learned – you can't correct someone without a relationship and have that go over smoothly. Even if it's a 2 minute "get to know you" thing – it makes people feel like you care about them, vs just being a jerk.
Reminds me of Barney and Andy Griffith. Barney always wanted the "correct way", but Andy always knew how to handle things gracefully.
I have had to deal with wack jobs like that. Had a couple girls cut in line at an amusement park and said, “No cutting in line.” and pointed to the signs that were posted all over. They got all offended and when they got off the ride, told their mommy and then got a security guard to talk to us. I just acted very calm as if we were dealing with insane people, was very nice to the guard. The mother said she was a school teacher in Washington DC. “Of course you are.” Made total sense. Wack Job.
And our Safeway just made employee masks mandatory again. A friend who works there said there was a lot of upset people. I bet! Still had a bunch just having them under their noses. The good people are not brain washed sheep.
I think you just hit the nail on the head there - they want everyone wearing the masks so their rioters can get away with their usual violence and murder, looting and the like.
In any verbal communication (business or personal), the worse thing you can do is to accuse someone of something wrong. That instantly shuts down the conversation and creates animosity. If you truly care about spreading the idea that masks are useless, consider starting up a conversation saying something like, "hey, you know those masks don't really do much since the omicron variant?" (Have to give them something to believe it was effective at some point even though it never was)
Then after that opening statement, you can bring in evidence from various studies and explain how masks carry bacteria and can actually cause pneumonia, low o2 sat levels and so forth... the person you talk to will start questioning their own beliefs and look it up.
The whole point of awakening is that you learn to think about and reflect on things outside your current understanding. Dont take there words as negative. Take them as a way to expand on the current. We are all family. Its healthy to have the pushback or counter points. I pray you will atleast reflect on what they said. Maybe there is something that can help you grow. Growing is good. God bless u fren. Much love
It's cool. I get it. I would love to do the same as you. I just see something like this creating more division than unity and we really need more healing in the future. But it's cool. I know even expressing sentiments like you did takes guts and at the very least, let's people be aware there's people who see masking as child abuse. It is a form of protest
Not enough time to water down the truth and spoon feed the tards. Shock and awe with simple, brutal truth is best. It may not seem like it at the time because people don’t want to lose face in the heat of the moment, but some of the tards will think about it later. It’s for the sake of their children after all.
Telling a complete stranger they’re doing something wrong makes you look like an asshole. That’s nothing to be proud of. You don’t know their story. Leave people alone and mind your own business
I've been thinking about handing out health pamphlets on how bad it is. Something that looks official. Put it on cars and stuff. It couldnt hurt to have a consolidated thought with sources to just hand to people. Maybe I'll make it blue and yellow. Tell them it's the past present and future current thing science not to take away oxygen from developing brains. Weird right.
Thank you for speaking up! Badge of honor. I get so pissed off when I see kids with the slave masks on. It most definitely is child abuse. And, ignorance is not an excuse. Too much data out there re: kids & covid
I stare at them. For 2 reasons. I want them to know how ridiculous they look, and in case I need to ID them later (not that it would be easy, but at least I'll have some idea of what they look like).
There's been a steady rise in mask wearers for the last couple months. A few I've asked have said it makes them feel safe. One added: even if they don't work.
It's always so strange to me reading things online about masks. It can make me feel like a portion of this country is foreign or something. Here in FL, it's very rare that I ever see anyone with a mask on. If OP is talking about Disneyland then that must be CA so it'd make sense if people are being weird over there.
I passed by an older fella on his bicycle the other day whilst walking to the corner store. He had a mask on. I said as he went by "Covid is over." Passed him on the way back, mask under his chin and he was smiling. Small victory!
From the stores point of view you were discriminating against someone for medical reasons. That's how the courts would look at it and I'm sure corporate has guidance on things like this. They were very specific about leaving people alone that choose to mask for legal reasons where I work
You were brave! I bet that person will never forget that shopping trip! You put a question in her mind even if she acted stubborn about it! Who knows? She may do a little research.
It’s crazy that the leftist libtards want to take away my right to tell strangers how to raise their children. Good for you for getting involved in other peoples problems without them asking your opinion. The ones who need the most help are too stupid to ask for it.
You have to try and Jedi Mind Trick there ass instead of so forward. Next time try... Hey Miss, I too once for a second thought masks were safe, but after seeing the studies, its quite dangerous and most certainly affect their early learning and growth markers.
While what you did was right, you can't communicate with these mentally ill people. It sucks for the kid but no words from your mouth are going to unmask the poor thing. All you did was give the mental case a solid reinforcement (in her warped mind) that she is absolutely right because you were kicked out. Sorry man, you just have to leave them alone and throw a blessing and a prayer over the kid on your way by.
If PepeSee turns into 100 more, and 100 more of that, well eventually we shame them back into the socialism closet. Too many here speak against taking action if any kind. Passivity is our worst attribute.
By standing by and allowing the clown theater to happen, we got the last three years of nonsense.
NO. FUCK YOU. YOU ARE GIVING POWER TO EVIL.
Agreed.
I had a big mask argument with SEVEN Walmart managers at once. They were mad but they could never tell me to leave.
Stand in the most effective way you can. That is unlikely to be one on one confrontations.
Yep, at first they just wanted to get married right? We were fine with that, who gives a rats ass what the homos are doing. Now they're cramming the shit down our throat every chance they get. Can't watch any sort of TV show without seeing some kind of PRIDE front and center.
Sell your tv to one of them.
Don't replace it.
I admit my first thought was "you really can't try to dictate how these people destroy their own kids right now", but then my second thought was that yes, you're right, why the fuck not? They're all so quick to try and shame us, we really should be flipping the script
That’s why republicans always have to compromise with the libs while they never concede any ground.
Yep. Action is what's needed. Nothing can grow without a seed being planted first.
Extrapolate that and see where it goes.
That's why this place rules. We have a difference in opinion and that is fine. You go your way, I go mine. No hard feelings fren
I mean, no defending anyone who chooses wilful stupidity, but would anybody on the planet admit they're wrong to a perfect stranger on the spot?
It's always on your own time, like three months later, that you realize if you're actually wrong. So, while the 4-6% thing totally points to a legitimate phenomenon, a little patience could go a long way.
You are a great human being.
Kroger is a good place to get kicked out of.
Still you should sue for first amendment violation, at least.
I was in a store in Manassas Va today. I couldn’t believe how many people had masks on, children all masked. Stupidity and gullibility run amok. Closer you get to DC…..
Insanity…..masks have become security blankets…
Part of this multifaceted attack through covid was to teach more normies how to use webcams and computers well enough to work from home. It pushed the tech a lot farther in two years.

The cat girl thing is a real problem.

Honestly, I think that may be it. It’s like my daughters blankey when she was 2-3. When shit got tense, here came the blankey. Shit heating up. Looking bad for the jabbies. Country going shit. Grab the mask.
I think most addictions provide the same comfort you described.
Uh huh, looking bad for the jabbies.

And that describes most maskers I know here.
Why are you still living there? I just escaped Spokane last year. I can't imagine tolerating Portland AT ALL.
My partner has a business that will be difficult to rebuild when we move cities. If we moved now and ANYTHING went wrong ... we'd be FUCKED.
And while I am a risk taker and to me that sounds like "okay, it's a risk but this is important let's make it happen" ... he is not this way, he's a newly awakened libfuckretard and while he doesn't think any of the brainwashed shit anymore, he still thinks LIKE he does.

Austin is just as bad. Same vibe.
I moved to College Station Texas 2 hours from all those big cities. Barely any masks here. Traffic is great.
I would take spokane over portland everytime. The inland empire is excellent as long as you avoid downtown spokane and cda
I have NO idea. That was my point but it prob got lost in long my comment was lol
Even when I ask them they don't have much of a reason other than "other people are"
It's just so strange that many of these people are THE SAME EXACT people that were complaining about them still being required just two months ago.
I kinda wonder if it has anything to do with the upcoming riots re Roe v Wade.
Amen.
Some batches of masks are contaminated with graphine oxide . . .
Can be a death sentence.
Masks are the new binkies (pacifiers).
Probably the monkeypox they keep flip flopping on how it’s spread or could be that heat outside, have to wear your mask and cancel events…
I am so glad to be out of NOVA.
I actually don’t live in Manassas, I’m further West. Lived in the Fairfax vicinity the first few years but the blueness there dang near killed me and we got out and further west.
You tried to do the right thing, that is all you can do. One day the mom will realize you were right. I hope you left a cart full of groceries behind that they now have to put away.
Well, it is child abuse.
Response: "I want to stay and 'peacefully' protest."
Who knows what these losers are watching everyday. They’re so lost in fear mongering day in and day out that they’re lost without it. Sad really.
Now, go write a letter to their corporate headquarters and complain about the way you were treated. There's lots more fun to be had, fren. 😉
Also, don't forget to include links to the mask research, etc.
"mostly"
In my local Kroger, they still play the automated half hourly "conditioning" propaganda over the speakers.
I still can't believe they actually call it "the hourly conditioning protocol for C19" out loud as if a PSA. HELLO!!! Normies! Did you hear that? They literally state they are mentally conditioning you right before doing so every 30 minutes.
It's part of how they take over the world.
If we don't resist our goose is cooked like a bunch of frogs simmering on low heat.
I don't know. Imagine a stranger walks up to you and tries to change your beliefs while you are just shopping for groceries.
You mean like how we were accosted in literally every business for not wearing a mask, and filmed, and put on the internet, then shamed by MSM? That kind of stranger?
I kinda feel like we shouldn't be sinking to their level. Some mothers truly believe masks will block the virus.

Though, honestly, I think if you don't wear a mask, the virus won't transmit 99.8% of the time.
That is why we must speak up! “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.”
“It just popped out as I went past really.”
That’s not harassment, that’s just a comment. If she said she didn’t want to hear it but you stayed in her space and persisted commenting to her, that could be harassment. Her overreaction of karening to the manager shows that you spiked her conscience. I wouldn’t be surprised if she went home and looked at the cost/ benefit analysis of masking.
Probably not. The mom will go back home and turn on msdnc or cnn and believe whatever they tell them.
I don't get the downvotes.
I was somewhere recently, did something I didn't realize was against the rules, and the worker came and just yelled at me telling me I was wrong. No get to know you, how's things going, just "don't do that."

Reminds me of Barney and Andy Griffith. Barney always wanted the "correct way", but Andy always knew how to handle things gracefully.
Did you tell that virus groomer that masks lower IQ of children by 10 points? It is also cancer forming.
What a Karen. Of course had to find a manager 😂
Seriously. Teacher teacher, he said mena things to me!!
I have had to deal with wack jobs like that. Had a couple girls cut in line at an amusement park and said, “No cutting in line.” and pointed to the signs that were posted all over. They got all offended and when they got off the ride, told their mommy and then got a security guard to talk to us. I just acted very calm as if we were dealing with insane people, was very nice to the guard. The mother said she was a school teacher in Washington DC. “Of course you are.” Made total sense. Wack Job.
I wonder what percentage of these children, when they are adults will-
Disown their parents? Murder their parents? Commit suicide? Succumb to mental illness? Claim disability benefits?
F$ck Kroger and Target and HEB and Walmart and all the rest of the Fascists!
And our Safeway just made employee masks mandatory again. A friend who works there said there was a lot of upset people. I bet! Still had a bunch just having them under their noses. The good people are not brain washed sheep.

“Never speak up for what you believe in”
Your mindset os why we have 45 year old trannys flashing their dongs to kids at strip clubs.
I've been thinking about handing out health pamphlets on how bad it is. Something that looks official. Put it on cars and stuff. It couldnt hurt to have a consolidated thought with sources to just hand to people. Maybe I'll make it blue and yellow.

I stare at them. For 2 reasons. I want them to know how ridiculous they look, and in case I need to ID them later (not that it would be easy, but at least I'll have some idea of what they look like).
Good job, truth teller!!
Congratulations!! You are a a great American. 🇺🇸😂👍🍿
She’s the one breaking the law.
There's been a steady rise in mask wearers for the last couple months. A few I've asked have said it makes them feel safe. One added: even if they don't work.
Thank you from a mom who still gets pissed off daily because of this bullshit. I think this all the time.
It's always so strange to me reading things online about masks. It can make me feel like a portion of this country is foreign or something. Here in FL, it's very rare that I ever see anyone with a mask on. If OP is talking about Disneyland then that must be CA so it'd make sense if people are being weird over there.
I just want you to know what kind of company Kroger actually is…these people are sick
https://www.thekrogerco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kroger-Allyship-Guide.pdf
You are my hero!
I passed by an older fella on his bicycle the other day whilst walking to the corner store. He had a mask on. I said as he went by "Covid is over." Passed him on the way back, mask under his chin and he was smiling. Small victory!
From the stores point of view you were discriminating against someone for medical reasons. That's how the courts would look at it and I'm sure corporate has guidance on things like this. They were very specific about leaving people alone that choose to mask for legal reasons where I work
Simple, you can agitate and plead with her to kill her unborn baby, but you cant tell her your harming them once their born.
Anyone still wearing a mask ot taking covid test is a mental case.
You were brave! I bet that person will never forget that shopping trip! You put a question in her mind even if she acted stubborn about it! Who knows? She may do a little research.
And when they ask what you are doing in the women's bathroom just tell them you are a tranny. 😎
Hero
It’s crazy that the leftist libtards want to take away my right to tell strangers how to raise their children. Good for you for getting involved in other peoples problems without them asking your opinion. The ones who need the most help are too stupid to ask for it.
I am so sorry. I tried many times to talk to my friends and family. They won't even listen.
Way to do your part! Now you can boycott Kroger's forever. 😂😂
You have to try and Jedi Mind Trick there ass instead of so forward. Next time try... Hey Miss, I too once for a second thought masks were safe, but after seeing the studies, its quite dangerous and most certainly affect their early learning and growth markers.
