Does wearing a mask for no reason hurt anyone? No. Does it deserve mockery? YES.
People were wearing masks before covid. When you visited Japan and China before covid did you mock people when you saw them wearing masks?

The act itself harmed no one. The unreasonable, unscientific fear is what has shaped public policy for all of us. The fact that road races and outdoor concerts have been cancelled for 2 years now follow a fear that is not based in science. The president of the U.S. (fully vaccinated) wore a mask on a zoom call. Thousands of businesses have been destroyed and children have suffered tremendous harm from the kind of behaviour that you think is so inoffensive.
Sometimes, you have to look beyond the act and what it symbolizes. On this board, that is asking way too much.
Did you confront him about it or do you just come here and anonymously mock people behind their back?
Your neighbor is smart. Be more like your neighbor.

Two years? I think fear is greatest only in your head.
Confront him? No. I’ll leave the public confrontations about mask-wearing to the lunatic “wear a maskkkk” park screamers.
Laugh at him? Yes.

Ridiculous conspiracy theories and anti-scientific claims are never “misinformation” when liberals spread them.

So you're not an American, and the "behaviour" of the U.S. president bothers you because...why, again?
One of the measures of a person is how much, or how little, it takes to upset him/her.

I agree. In my neighborhood in Murfreesboro, TN, there is an African American lady who walks every day wearing a mask. Good for her.
As a result, i make sure not to be on her side of the street because I know how I'd feel if someone crossed in front of me.
Why not be courteous to those who are cautious because it's right to do?
During a pandemic...why be Alpha?
Only in America do you draw political and ideological lines over a face covering. An international joke.
We do not always agree but i do here.
I didn't even think about what a mask was until 2012_ when a few Japanese students wore one when sick.
Then other Japanese, Korean and a few Chinese students did.
When the pandemic hit? I knew about masking up.
Originally, I had ordered disposable masks which I wore under a neck gaiter to do laundry at 4 am to protect vulnerable family members...
We have a mini washer and dryer now
But even at work, I've always been double protected.
My thought is that it's just a mask.
Why are faces so important in America?
I hate when cops wear their little military looking uniforms. If they wanted to play Army, then why didn't they enlist? The sniveling cowards don't look tough, just dorky.
I hate those hasidic hats that don't fit.
I think women look terrible in high waisted jeans.
I don't like that frat boy khaki and button down brosjo look.
I hate hipster doofus hats and high water skinny jeans.

In fairness, the science, not too long ago told us to do so. Now, we know better. It's ik.
I saw a lady wearing pants, so I confronted her and asked her if she realized that her silly pants don't actually DO anything. She said something about keeping comfortable but it was perfectly warm outside. I asked her to consider taking them off, and that's when she started filming me but I didn't stop trying to get her to see reason and now I've lost my job thanks to liberal cancel culture.

yeah, well that idjit bidden sometimes wears pants while doing press conferences , even though he knows only his upper body and face will be on screen. and bobby still won't eat his vegetables like a real liberator.
Seriously?
You can live without feet.
You can't live without breathing.
If you didn't have feet, you could not run, but you could still get exercise.
If you couldn't breathe, it's curtains.
You gave a complete non sequitur and expect it to serve as a counter?

Or maybe he is just the dude that lives next door. He's not responsible for anything on your list. Some of my neighbors are paranoid about COVID and others are against masks and vaccines. I couldn't care less.
