Do you think the reason people were so willing to wear masks is that some of us drank too much of the "we are free" Kool-Aid when really the majority of people just want to go along to get along and will follow most new rules? For example, everyone has to wear yellow shirts and then everyone does. - Upgoat

Many people are not really free thinkers. They prefer to be told what to do and how to do it. All while having the illusion of making their own decisions.

And they were all conditioned to think that way from childhood. Blind obedience to authority is pounded in early and reinforced all through adolescence so there is no chance that person will have the spine to speak out.

Commie-socialist teachers focus on obedience in their lesson-plan, and parents threaten dire consequences if an 'A' or 'B' grade is not secured, so the end result seems obvious....twelve years of leftist indoctrination forced by the teachers, and enforced by the parents.

Ugly people love the mask trend. I've seen so many saying, "Golly gee, I look better in a mask!" Fucking faggots. Forget about intelligence. Think about how monstrously ugly the average person is. Think about how lazy the average woman is, not wanting to do makeup every day. That's what will keep this shit going forever.

I find women who don't wear makeup to be much prettier. Self-esteem naturally makes them more attractive. Only in clown world would caking yourself in cancerous synthetic sludge be considered appealing in the first place.

I've heard people say they like wearing the mask. They're not even ugly, not really. I think it's that they want to hide their face while showing everyone their ideology. Think of it as like a "wearing their heart on their sleeve" type shit, but instead of heart it's retardation.

I guess not wearing a mask gives me the same feeling, so I won't judge them. I like being the first face they've seen in a while, and they know instantly I don't buy into their bullshit.

We're actually living in transparent times when it comes to social interaction. You can tell how someone votes without even talking to them. It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yeah I was thinking about the team phenomenon today. People seem to choose the side their team has chosen on for most issues. It's like an intellectually lazy way to know what the "right" thing is but it comes at the cost of ignorance on extremely important issues.

It’s their subconscious

Their conscious mind is wearing the mask because of “corona”. But their spirit knows the shame.

[ - ] Endo_Aryan 1 point 3.8 yearsJul 3, 2021 08:32:48 ago (+1/-0)

I think the mask is a response to learned hopelessness we've been conditioned to feel. You watch TV and see all this horrible stuff going on but you're just one person so powerless to stop [Trump/racism/environmental decay/fear-of-the-day]. But then one day, a tragedy comes along and the man in the suit says if you do this one thing, then you're a soldier in the fight, too!

Plus we know liberals all see themselves as Hans Solo and Katniss Evergreen, so now they can virtue that they're part of the "resistance"

The social condition of the herd animals is strong. Even those who do in fact think for themselves can be pressured by the group. It is insidious and most people are helpless against it.

[ - ] oldblo 1 point 3.8 yearsJul 3, 2021 02:53:51 ago (+1/-0)

Sounds right. There is also the complete dependency on the economic system and potential governmental repercussions to blame. Both can and will be used to harm you in horrible ways. All while calling it a good deed for humanity.

[ - ] Redhairin 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 3, 2021 15:38:44 ago (+0/-0)

I chose to start wearing the surgical mask three years ago, long before the Plandemic. The fact so many idiots were desperately trying to get me to stop (even had to kick ass of one loser that tried to rip it off) did not deter me. Then the COVID hysteria came around, and the same retards that were howling for me to stop wearing it, suddenly began demanding everyone to wear it. The herd mentality of sheeple is always amusing, and always dependable. I did not start wearing the mask because everyone did, and I will still be wearing it long after the mindless herd has decided it is no longer trendy. Just because the faddists think sushi is the epitome of cool does not mean I will ever be eating it.
