Mask Wearing: A Primer For Idiots, Zealots, and Skeptics

Warning: Readers may or may not agree with some - or any - of the statements made in this post. That's OK. As Americans, we all have the right to agree or disagree with any opinion, and this post is full of opinion. It is 100% opinion.

If you are wearing a mask because you think it will help stop the spread of COVID-19, you qualify for idiot or zealot status.

If you are wearing a mask because you think it's Halloween, you need to get a new calendar.

If you're wearing a mask to appease others, such as stores which won't allow you to enter unless you're wearing one, you're probably a skeptic.

If you actually think it's necessary to wear masks, keep a social distance of at least six feet apart from other people in order to "flatten the curve" so as to not overwhelm hospitals with severe cases of COVID-19, the narrative has passed by you. In the main, hospitals have not been overwhelmed, overcrowded, or under any duress whatsoever. A few here and there were stressed, but most hospitals in the United States handled any increased case load from COVID-19 just fine.

Since there's no real danger of hospitals becoming overwhelmed, wearing masks in public has become about as useful as wearing sunglasses at night. Those who are still wearing masks because they've been ordered to or some official body has recommended doing so would probably wear sunglasses at night or walk in the street rather than on the sidewalk if the government told them to do so. These are the types who will willingly subject themselves a vaccine, if and when one become available, whether it's been proven safe or net, effective or not.

These are the sheep. The useful idiots the government uses to promote their policies. Whether government polices are in what used to be called the "public interest" doesn't really matter these days. All that matters is that a large enough number of the population follows sheepishly along behind the leadership of a Dr. Fauci or a Gretchen Whitmer or even a blind rat. Judging by the overall acceptance of the narrative projected by the mainstream media propaganda machine, the government has achieved nearly complete control over the populace, and, for them, that's been the goal.

Eventually, we will all be led by a blind rat, and probably a blind rat that's not even a rat but rather a hologram or robot, and may not even be blind. Such is the level of tyranny facing the United States and the world.

People who don't wear masks other than to pacify the zealots and idiots who do are skeptical of the narrative and the rest of the public should be thankful they're still able to express their individual opinions and fashion their lives around their own principles, not those foisted upon them by decree or fiat, such as is the case with the COVID-19 restrictions, conventions, and regulations.

Getting people to wear face masks in public is the goal of the government controllers. All they want is control over you, your money, your kids, your life. That's all. It has nothing whatsoever to do with any health condition or virus or anything other than control.

The tinpot despots posing as governors, senators and members of the House of Representatives - Republican and Democrat alike - do not have your best interest at heart. They have their best interest at heart and that includes controlling the narrative that controls how you conduct yourself in your daily life. Their best interest also includes getting you to re-elect them and they'll tout their "leadership" in the COVID-19 crisis as proof that they are worthy of your continued support and vote. In case they are challenged, many of them have conveniently ascribed to mail-in voting, by which they can make sure the tallies are in their favor.

Thus far, the must-wear-a-mask controllers have managed to cause work outages, business closures, sent trillions of dollars to Wall Street firms and little to the American people (one $1200 check and extended unemployment benefits which has run out and is unlikely to be extended), stoked inflation, shut down sports, prohibited fans from attending any sporting events, cancelled all manner of concerts, trips, travel, imposed lockdowns and border patrols in places like New York and New Jersey, caused riots, looting, arson, and general mayhem, and a slew of other antisocial restrictions.

When will it all be too much? When will the idiots and zealots start paying attention to the skeptics? When the food runs out? When the currency dies? When it's already too late? (It may already be.)

Just in: Weekly initial unemployment claims rose last week to 1.1 million. Getting worse before it gets better.
