    The wild thing is, thet back then, people knew that they were protecting others from themselves by wearing one.

    I feel like most people who wear masks today, wear them to protect themselves from catching a virus

      Because people understood back then that not wearing a mask while contagious meant directly killing others.

      Also, flu was highly mortal at the time, and people were acutely aware of this.

      I lost my parents because of an asymptomatic idiot who refused to wear a mask and wash his hands, yet insisted of visiting them. That person literally killed them.

      I still consider anyone who consciously refused to wear a mask or get vaccinated during the last pandemic as selfish criminals and murderers who should be held accountable.

      Seeing as the photo implies people are being arrested for not wearing them. I doubt they did it out of their kindness of their heart.

      Not sure why I am getting downvoted for saying most people probably wore masks to not get arrested.

    IIRC the ordinance was to wear masks outside but people were allowed to take them off inside because that’s where they were eating, drinking, and doing stuff. So good intentions but would have been more effective if the policy was reversed.

    Wear a mask but covid was still a government false flag!

    The whole mask thing was a a distraction drama like blm. We all know blm but the pop.marketing made it drama. A tool for division.

    In the end understand psychological warfare. 2020 was a learning period of psychological warfare. Fighting for what was real and right became psychological. How do we combat both at the same time without driving hate (anti blm, anti mask).

    What happened in in 2020 obviously didn’t work. Or else we wouldn’t be living in shit now. 2020 was a proof of concept.

    Rethink. Rebuild. Sacrifice.

    America isn’t on the side of humanity. That’s truth. And if you haven’t figured that out I suggest a detox of American culture until you regain an honest sense of humanity.

    One vengeance for all. Wishful thinking would say iran is the only one truly fighting back. But we will have to see what happens in the days coming for that statement to be true. (I don’t say that in “Support” but simple fact of reality…)
