MODERATORS
When we wear masks, not only do we do the right thing, but it helps others to feel brave enough to join us.
No it doesn't. When others see people wearing a mask now, they think your either paranoid, virtue signalling, or have an health condition and therefore hava a higher threat model.
Don't feel embarred wearing a mask. Do what you think is best for yourself, but I can tell you it does not make people "brave and to join the movement".
Really? At this point when see someone wearing a mask I assume they have a cold/flu/covid and they're being prosocial...
Not me or anyone I know thinks that when seeing someone with a mask on. Nobody wore a mask when they were sick before 2020. And when I have the sniffles, I never wear a mask. If I am really sick, I will just stay home. Just like how it was done before 2020.
I can't imagine being someone who not only doesn't experience personal growth but also refuses to learn from the changing world around them. If you wanna act like an inconsiderate dumbass go ahead but you should keep that dumb shit to yourself dumbass.
I did learn lots in the past few years about human nature.
What did you observe and what conclusions did you draw from those observations?
Nothing like a side of antisemitism and genocide denial with your antivax bullshit.
How am I antisemetic? How am I denying the holocaust? How am I promoting an antivax narritive?
You must be a troll.
Before 2020 my sick colleagues would sit next to me sneezing away or coughing and complaining they had the worst flu. Hardly anyone acted responsibly. Masks have been a step in the right direction.
They should of stayed home, not come to work. Instead of pushing masks, people need to stop calling in sick when they stub their toe and start calling in sick when they have the flu or a bad cough.
The pandemic was just a horrible time in history and we do not need to keep any of its rituals around in daily life. No one was considered inconsiderate for not wearing a mask in 2019, and no one should of ever been considered inconsiderate for not wearing a mask, especially now in 2023.
