    Default "Masks are slavery"

    That's the message on a t-shirt worn by someone at a recent FL event.

    Does anyone want to try to defend that ridiculous hyperbole? How having to wear a mask for 30 minutes at a supermarket is in any way equivalent to one of mankind's worst horrors?

    If that shirt wearer were to actually be taken from the life they have known and be made a slave they would clearly understand the difference.

    30 minutes? If one spends 30 minutes in a supermarket, they’re lost.

    15 minutes, max. In and out.

    Mask wearing is something which is done for the good of society; for the collective.

    Slavery is something which is done for profit; for the benefit of the profiteer, one person.

    Pretty big difference.

    Giving of oneself for others vs taking of others for oneself.

    The two could utterly hardly be more different.

    Taiwan has a high rate of mask-wearing and compliance with government directives.

    Taiwan has 9 deaths total; we have a half-million.

    In actuality, mask-wearing is highly UNDER-rated - by the American right.

    The numbers would never have gotten so high if more people followed the CDC guidelines.

    Don't share the air.
