Kens and Karens refusing to wear a mask in retail outlets during a public health crisis are toddlers clinging to the semi-illusion of individual freedom like a comfort blanket. Asserting your rights in every situation in order to avoid the mildest discomfort doesn't make...
...you a hero. It makes you a stubborn and selfish brat and is likely a sign you've endured no real hardship in your life. Imagine being so weak you can't tolerate slight facial constriction and negligible itchiness for the briefest period of time without sustaining...
...psychological damage and tossing a trauma-tantrum in front of strangers. Imagine being so stupid, so intellectually incurious, ill-informed, lazy and mentally comatose you don't even know that other countries got free of corona restrictions through masks and social...

...saves lives. I have no respect for these sub-adolescents, these panicking, whining, foot-stomping beasts spreading a deadly virus to babies and old people, causing death and suffering because they were denied what they falsely perceive as perfect control over the conditions...
...of their insignificant lives. They think they rule. They think their feelings and their itchy faces matter more than families staying together. That makes me want to power vomit my own pelvis into the trees. We all lose freedoms when the Karens and Kens insist on their own.
And the Karens and Kens lose freedoms when they wind up full of virus and ventilator tubes and lumbered with medical bills and damaged organs. At the end of the day, these are people that can afford cars. They can afford to shop. They can certainly afford masks.
But they don't have the brains or the inclination to look around the world and compare the responses and the results in different countries. Maybe they're so high on the spiked opium of 'liberty' they can no longer process the written word. Perhaps these people are...
...zombies, pampered, pointless, crying consumer zombies concerned simply with their own whims and desires and nothing else, not even the physical safety of human life. The one difference between these people and zombies is that zombies are actually looking to get some brains.
