Oh, you don’t want to wear a mask because it ‘restricts your freedom’? Cool, well, some people would love to speed down town roads at 80mph, but don’t for the safety of everyone else. 1/13

Some people would love to have a drink at a pub on a lazy Sunday afternoon and drive home, but don’t for the safety of everyone else. 2/13
Some people would love to take a shit on the pavement because they’re really bursting and it’s easier just to go right there, but they don’t for the safety of everyone else. 3/13
Some people would love to steal all the food they need for the week because they’re hungry and don’t want to pay for it, but they don’t because that’s unfair on everyone else. 4/13
Some chefs would love to not wash their hands because ‘nobody has been sick before’, or not cook some food through completely because ‘they like it like that’, but they don’t for the safety of everyone else. 5/13
Some people just wanna walk around in a busy public street completely naked because they don’t care and it’s easier to not get changed, but they don’t for the safety and comfortability of everyone else. 6/13
Some people would love to not get their car checked in for an MOT because it’s easier, and they know everything about how their car feels to drive and if it’s road-safe or not, but they don’t for the safety of everyone else. 7/13
Some doctors would love to never put on the layers and layers of protective gear because of how uncomfortable and hot it all is, but they don’t for the safety of everyone else. 8/13
There are laws for these, but those laws exist for the benefit of EVERYONE ELSE. The world doesn’t revolve around you. You aren’t special. You aren’t as ‘free’ as you think you are, and you don’t question it because it makes sense, right? Well, so does WEARING A DAMN MASK. 9/13
My point is, if you think making masks a TEMPORARY law to get through a PANDEMIC is a bad thing, and you’re willing to fight that, then why aren’t you fighting against every other PERMANENT law that ‘restricts’ you? Because you know it’s safer for everyone else? Weird. 10/13
‘But it’s hard to brea-’
Shut up. It’s been proven multiple times that it doesn’t affect oxygen intake. Nobody likes wearing them. I don’t, but I do it for my safety, and YOURS. If you REALLY can’t wear one? Well, bedridden people get help from home. I’m sure you can too. 11/13

Seatbelts dig into my neck. They hurt. I bet there are others who can barely fit in seatbelts and feel like they’re crushing their stomachs. But you do it, right? Because it’s common sense. It’s easier for medics in case of accidents. That’s a permanent law, no-one argues. 12/13
If you’re sick of shops being closed, sick of distancing, sick of being told to wear cloth on your face, newsflash - IT’LL BE OVER SOONER IF YOU FUCKING LISTEN. JUST DO THIS ONE THING. FOR A BIT. Then, that one thing you have SUCH a big issue over won’t be an issue anymore. 13/13
