Now these are masks I wouldn't mind wearing...
Nerd By Northwest #241 – “The Empire vs. The State”

While I see face masks being a sensible risk management measure in certain situations, I do have empathy for those who chafe at the mandatory mask mandates (or at least the crazed Karens who make a crusade out of them). Governments grasping at straws and people ruled by fear have turned these face masks from a minor precautionary tool into a frickin' magic amulet and the focus of a near-religious crusade.
Yet I also do a face-palm whenever I see the antics of most anti-maskers. First off, many of them make the same mistake as the rabid pro-masker Karens, and choose their position out of emotion & beliefs instead of facts & information. But the real fail is in most of their demonstrations & protests, which are petulant & confrontational instead of clever & persuasive.
Marching and shouting "we won't comply!" or the like in some supermarket? Lame. But cleverly mocking and pointing out the silliness while technically complying? THAT is how you make a statement. Let this guy show you how it's done... 😆
