No, having to wear a mask is not oppression or taking away your rights

[tulipsandroses]

Its meant to protect you and the people around you. You are not losing your freedom or liberty wearing a mask. Oppression, loss of freedom and liberty is a black man murdered for running while being black -with no one looking out for his protection.

Paraphrasing Joy Reid this morning, in regards to idiot protesters and online complaints going on about their rights being violated and being oppressed.

1. It's showing respect to others around you by keeping your germs to yourself.

That’s why Dump lovers hate it so much. It s about showing empathy, compassion and altruism.

Their selfishness just cannot comprehend those ideas.

2. "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service"

How is this different, other than it's life saving?

3. Costco insisted that all customers entering the facility had to wear a mask

If you didn't have one, they gave you one.

I can't tell you how many shoppers I saw WITHOUT a mask going through the store! They obviously put it on to get in, and then took it off as soon as they were past the entrance. I notified a supervisor.

6. You have NO right to infect me.

You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

7. Wearing a mask is like not driving on the sidewalk

It is a basic rule that prevents unnecessary pain and death.

You don't run over pedestrians and you don't spread a deadly disease

9. Having to wear pants isn't considered oppression.

I honestly don't see how a mask is all that different.

10. Civil societies must have rules to survive and all freedoms have limits.

If evolution had not provided us with such a bountiful supply of psychopaths and self-centered assholes, we wouldn't need so many rules.

Nuff sed.........
