Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I won't wear a mask.

I bet the CoronaBros do.
"A sheepish, "follow the leader" inclination among many people is an immature manifestation of human social nature. An excessive desire to be cared for; to follow, to win approval by acquiescence rather than achievement - these make a person malleable and easy to control. Thank God the social aspect of human nature doesn't take that form in all.
For others, social nature takes the healthier and more resilient form of consenting, interdependent exchange among peers.
These are the people who refuse to be subjugated.
This mask thing makes the difference between the two more obvious:
Sheeple are wearing masks even outside, while engaged in solo activities or interacting with members of their own households.
Their need to appease authority is so strong that they refuse to process the thought, "what purpose does this serve?"
The answer, of course, is this:
Wearing masks in public offers visual support to the propaganda on which The Great Suppression is based:
"We are all in great danger. Follow directives without question!"
Must we win over "majority support" before throwing off this oppression? Of course not! We need only return to our lives; a "radical" act of civil disobedience at present.
There wasn't "majority support" for the seemingly suicidal effort by the colonists to throw off the tyranny of the Crown in the Founding era, either. But they did it.
Sheeple require the affirmation of being in the majority.
We're not sheeple."

I might wear one like a doo’ rag. Maybe sag my jeans.
Never ever going to put a state mandated uniform on. -
Judging from the acidic stares I’ve been getting around town maskless, I’m predicting direct confrontation within the week.
Should be fun! -
Was at a grocery store yesterday, I think the masks are restricting oxygen flow to people’s brains. Never seen such bad cart driving, people stopping and panicking and turning around all over the place.

I was at Fred Meyer's at 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday. Store was busy, not not crowded. Some 70-year old Karen cornered a stocker who was refreshing the soup aisle and was complaining that too many people were in the store. Thought about telling her to phu*ck off and go shop in the morning when the store opens early for the over 55 crowd. But didn't. Next time I will. These people need to start being adult about this. If not, time to start treating them like children.

My younger daughter made me one and put it in my car and now it just dangles off the rearview mirror with the pine tree thing and the fuzzy dice.WestlinnDuck said:I was at Fred Meyer's at 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday.

The bravery shown in the this thread is simply amazing. You fellas are almost as badass as the boys that hit the beaches at Normandy.
"I went to Fred Meyer with no mask!" is really close to "the Germans had us pinned down with heavy machine gun fire!" on the bravery scale, for sure.

No bravery at all, just simple common sense.
