Welcome to HN. Scratch that, welcome to left wing politics. No, scratch even that, welcome to modern politics in general. It started with the milennial generation and it isn't getting much better. What has been achieved with race/gender gets overshadowed with excessive goverment overreach that is often expected and not protested enough (that's the worst part). One could get easily painted as some kind of an anarchocapitalist nut job for even suggesting such a thing just a couple of years ago. Then covid happened. Daddy government save us. Anyone not 100% on board with absolutely ridiculous government invasions into personal (and business) freedoms and all the absurd rules and regulations was not only a bad, irresponsible person, but was literally killing grandma. Mask don't work. There are many studies now (and it's not like we didn't know this two years ago) that clearly show they don't work. Everyone knows it makes no sense for a mask intended for dust protection to stop virions of a largely airborne virus, let alone a reused mask, let alone a mask you constantly touch, adjust and throw around, let alone indoors where you're breating in each others recirculated lung air... Buuuuuuuut the goverment daddy said a mask is required so everyone needs to wear a mask or deserves fucking prison or something.
