People were such dimwits about it though. Even if you had a security guard at the entrance to every shop challenging people to wear properly fitted n95s, I'm certain heaps of people would remove it after they walked past just on principle.

The American culture is uniquely garbage because of the unique history of having a frontier for self serving pieces of shit to murder a patch of land empty for themselves and assert their right to tell everyone to fuck off. When the frontier was exhausted the homestead became the small business. When the small businesses were absorbed, "you can't tell me what to do" became having a big truck and eating hamburgers with the motivation of spite.

We're also uniquely garbage because our nation was founded by a bunch of religious zealots who pissed off everyone in Britain with their dickishness so much that they were told to fuck off and be assholes somewhere else.

Ah, you are upset it isn't authoritarian enough for your tastes?

The most expansive police and military state that's ever existed? Are you high?

And this is why I'm glad we're still federated.

I enjoyed their comment. If I was on lemmy.world I'd never have gotten to read it.

You people are such weird babies. It's a piece of cloth.

Yeah it was a shitshow, all because of how politicized it became. No one in 2018 would have thought that asking people to wear a face mask would become such an embarrassing ordeal.

But trust me, it's easy to catch a mask less person in a store. It shouldn't take more than a couple incidents before they learn their lesson and make an example for others.

"Police are bad unless it is to arrest people over a mask"

Thanks for coming over from reddit

Police are bad because they don't serve the interests of the community

So? Just remove them once they get inside
