Banning masks only serves to increase the overreach of our surveillance state.

They know, they don't care.

American individualist propaganda has a load of people believing they're free to do whatever the fuck they like, and fuck anyone who tries to stop them.

Selflessness is a rejected concept to them, they will never productively participate in a community of people.

Individual rights and selfishness are orthogonal. The idea that the only bad actions are illegal ones is the issue. We want to use laws to enforce ethics instead of community.

And sick people should wear them too when they go into stores. But where is this actually a topic anyway? I've not heard much of anything regarding masks since the pandemic.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were the kind of people to say that disabled people are a burden to society

Disabled people were some of the first German gas chamber victims.

What?? Why, where and how are masks being banned? Like, face masks?

[–] davidagain 6 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Yes, face masks. Republicans, largely, but some Democrats too.

Citing a flurry of protests on college campuses in recent months, GOP lawmakers in North Carolina last week overrode a veto by the state’s Democratic governor to ban mask wearing in public, with certain exceptions. As part of the new law, people may wear medical masks in public to prevent the spread of illness, but officers and property owners may ask people to remove their masks to verify their identity.

Republican Sen. Buck Newton, a supporter of the bill, said last month, “It’s about time that the craziness is ... at least slowed down, if not put to a stop.”
