Ummm...let me get to your last point first...in your mind...me wearing a mask is somehow contradictory to libertarian ideology...because I’m also not protecting you...who refuses to wear a mask and is of the stated opinion that you don’t need to be protected...or wear one...
You want cake in both your hands...you affirm the desire to remain unprotected...yet now want me to be the arbiter of your protection...and then claim hypocrisy on my part...because I’m wearing a mask that does not expel exhalations into the face of anyone...while you reserve for yourself that very scenario...

I don’t have an agenda...nor do I give a rats ass if you can’t seem to comprehend that your imagined right to sneeze contagion on the unsuspecting populace...is not one of the enumerated rights in the constitution...simply due to the fact that it isn’t a right at all...it’s just a fools misunderstanding of the responsibility that every right entails...
The responsibility to...NOT...do harm to any other...supersedes your flag waving hubris...
Repeat after me...you do not have the right to cause harm to any other individual or group...unless it be in self defense...
I’m out in the public every day...I also have to wear a mask 9 hours a day...six days a week while at work...because asshats that have absolutely no concept of rights and responsibilities puff up their moobs...and spout their ignorance...to which I simply reply...no mask...no service...no exceptions...

Ummm...It's your job to protect you...not mine...that's what I've heard preached from the echo chamber here for months...
The public should be smart enough to figure it out...and if you don't want to even wear a mask...then why bitch about the fact my mask has valves and your not smart enough to use that variety...

I think what bothers me is the mindless acquiescence. There is a string of cause and effect relationships that, to me anyway, seem obvious.
But to mindlessly adhere to authority for the sake of authority is foreign to me. Worse, to do it because of politics...utterly absurd. I don't care who is in the white house, it won't change reality.
The entirety of internet arguing is over subjective truth and mindlessly parroting political team leaders.

I really don't care if one decides to adhere to one side or the other on this issue. Wear a mask, don't wear a mask, wash your hands, lick the toilet seats in the public toilet, doesn't matter one bit to me. Each individual's life, their choice, do WTF ever you wish so long as I am left out of it. I take exception with either side trying to tell me what to do. I also have lost my patience with ridiculous mouthy asshats who fail to meet any degree of consistency with their positions. I'm an asshole, 100%... I'm opinionated and I am a royal jerk about it, but at least I'm consistent. You won't find me saying "I'm doing this to protect others" one day and follow it up with "Everyone else can protect themselves, screw you" the following day when someone points out the fact that what I think I'm doing is actually horsecrap.

I would have never thought someone will start name calling me because of my opinion on some frigging masks.
And you should know, i work from my home, only go shopping once a month, and live in the middle of a forest.
Want me to wear a (SNIP) mask?
I bet you are a stoner, or take meds, because only stoners and the medicated are that (SNIP) dumbed down.
Keep that leash tight broh.

The guy who starts every goddamn post with "Ummm" calling someone else a dumbass is cute.

Ummm...again with the reading comprehension thing...
I never called you any names...
Once again...I merely stated that you ingested vast quantities of dumbass...
Those other names you called yourself...
I mean...besides the expletives you called me that is...
I really tried hard to keep the conversation from devolving into a cat fight...you on the other hand...not so much...
Again...have a nice day...
