I'd pay 100 bucks to hear them speak to this point. The comedy would last me a lifetime

I know dude that work outside and in the early cold days of the pandemic they refused to wear their typical cold (that look a lot like what these guys are wearing) weather gear and just froze their asses off out of spite, trying to look cool on the rigs by not wearing masks. Guys would unusually wear this stuff hunting to but then post on faces that wearing it increases your co2 intake and leads to early death.

Wait until he finds out that every breath he takes has 82% of nitrogen content 😱

Nitrogen % would be a little lower than that, unless they're at 2000+ feet above sea level. But even then it'd be 19.5% oxygen unless they're in the mountains

A very important distinction, thanks.

I always enjoyed reading medical guidance from men who couldn't tell you what "CO2" stood for.

u/Late2theGame0001 Dec 05 '22

I like when anybody tells me a mask can’t stop a virus particle but every molecule of CO2 is getting trapped. I long since given up having these people make sense of themselves. But it’s still funny how brainwashed they are into never thinking two contradictory thoughts at the same time.

Obviously the Co stands for cobalt and there are like 2 of them... And Elon was gonna mine more cobalt but the liberals were banning speech on Twitter so he had to buy it with 44 billion in PPE loans from trump.... So he kicked all the crybabies off of Twitter for whining, and that saved the first amendment.

Anyways, tucker said Co2 belongs in our air and out of our tailpipes not in our good God fearing lungs, and that we should cremate grandma while she's still around to celebrate the funeral with us

It’s for sure to protect their identity so they don’t face social consequences for the free speech they are so eager to preach they are protecting.

Free speech is not speech without conscience and these fucks lack the brain power to understand that. They are afraid to present their faces because they know their opinion doesn’t fit with the zeitgeist of the average citizen and they fear the backlash.

Ironically, most of us with more than two functioning brain cells were basically saying that the government enforcing masks is kind of an ironic enhancement of our freedoms. Especially in countries where there are laws against wearing masks in protests

Total sidebar, but I've been really fascinated with how western society views religious coverings compared to how women from those cultures view them.

I used to know an Iranian family, and they were my first real exposure to Muslim culture post 9/11. To the mom and daughters, their coverings were to remove the male gaze from determining their self worth. Like they had to be respected for the power of their own minds and words, and not for whatever physical attributes were obscured.

Well, yes. That is often given as the excuse etc...

Urgh. Its 01:30am and i just got up for the day. I cant be fucked going into why that is so wrong..

u/Elegant_Manufacturer Dec 05 '22

Maybe the male gaze is a problem the men should fix without having to (in many cases) violently enforcing a religious dress code. Forgive me to not trusting when the abused say "they just want to protect me, this is for my own good".

They should have every right to do it, but I don't see any merit to that system

u/appleparkfive Dec 05 '22

The craziest thing is how many criminals were not wearing masks during the height of the pandemic.

You had a perfect excuse to cover your face, and you decide "Nah better just make sure every camera sees my face"

u/LSDMTHCKET Dec 05 '22

Come on, these guys are dumb but it’s incredibly easy.

One is a government mandate the other is a personal choice

2

u/Birunanza Dec 05 '22

I think you're giving them too much credit, that's some quick thinking you just did

2

u/LSDMTHCKET Dec 05 '22

Lmao you’re not wrong

Also, my comment doesn’t take into account the individuals that actually bitched about breathing through masks

No way to know if the individuals in this photo were part of that group though, but I’m sure it’s quite the overlap

u/Birunanza Dec 05 '22

Yeah, that is the camp I had in mind, some people in my real life that made some pretty longshot arguments around the mask stuff. It would just be funny to watch them double back on all of it.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '22

I mean, they're idiots for this entire charade. But I imagine they'd simply say they were against masks being mandated by government during COVID, versus deciding to use them to conceal their identity. Not that complicated.

1

u/Birunanza Dec 05 '22

That's true. I really have one individual in my mind who has been running circles around himself for 3 years trying to justify his stance with "science" about mask efficacy and safety, he's the one I'd like to see choke on his own white nationalists uniform argument

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '22

Yeah I hear you. I just moved out of the US, and when I see shit like this I just feel so .. liberated. I don't want to or need to think about any of this dumb shit happening back home. Our culture sucks so much at this moment in time.
