Maggie's Farm

Masks are a minor inconvenience, except for those with hearing or speech difficulties. Hating masks, resenting them, and complaining about them is as much virtue signalling and political statement as wearing them, even though they are much less necessary now.

Conservatives broke all their mirrors in an effort to accuse others this year. Even though it's rather stunningly obvious, self-observation eludes them at present. Look, I find people wearing masks in unnecessary situations irritating as well. "Karen, who are you trying to impress?" But the reverse also holds, and a lot of commenters at MF are squawking as if they were in the Soviet Union and under great oppression.

You're not. If you stop and think about it, you know people who have been under actual oppression. Brag to those who had relatives disappear how persecuted you are, please. All those 60s radicals who liked to pretend they were in a police state as much as Jews in the 30s, when all they endured was some people criticising them? You're doing the same thing.

If you think I was a Biden voter, then you are illustrating exactly what I am talking about. You can't see clearly, yet you are absolutely sure you are right, and willing to be insulting for no reason.

I will say again, talk to someone who has seen real oppression.
