If I were an ANGRY PATRIOT, concerned to stop the WHITE GENOCIDE of my fellow WHITE BRITISH PATRIOTS, I'd wear a UNION🇬🇧JACK mask & tweet:

"OI! #NoMasks W*NKER! IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR RULES, F*CK OFF & LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE!"

But I'm not, so please be considerate & wear a mask👍

In 1941, masking up was accepted as a sensible, patriotic, British thing to do. 🇬🇧 https://theconversation.com/why-londoners-in-the-blitz-accepted-face-masks-to-prevent-infection-unlike-todays-objectors-142021

And for US followers, in 1917, Oakland Mayor John Davie stated tha:

“It is sensible and patriotic, no matter what our personal beliefs may be, to safeguard our fellow citizens by joining in this practice” of wearing a #facemask. 🇺🇸 https://theconversation.com/mask-resistance-during-a-pandemic-isnt-new-in-1918-many-americans-were-slackers-141687
Mask resistance during a pandemic isn't new – in 1918 many Americans were 'slackers'

As the US battled the 1918 influenza pandemic, some communities staged contentious battles against wearing masks. Sound familiar?
