Tell me about it...if you have certain less obvious disabilities, you are 100% screwed, even in a liberal society.

Love to the poster, I don't agree with these views, but this argument would fall completely flat because they think disabled people should just die if they're "too weak". If you can just don't go to these places because they're run by delusional people at best and Nazis at worst.

When my (then) 4 yo was undergoing chemo I had a goto line I used often when people would comment on my mask:

You’re right. I should let my kid who has no immune system because he’s on chemo for cancer treatment just die then, right?

Honestly, if you’re still masking and get flak, just say the above anyhow. You have my permission.

Mask bans are cruel. Maybe they should ban eyeglasses.

I agree. What I'm trying to point out is that we're dealing with incredible amounts of Hitler particles with these people and we're past the point of reason.

What?? Why, where and how are masks being banned? Like, face masks?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yes, face masks. Republicans, largely, but some Democrats too.

Citing a flurry of protests on college campuses in recent months, GOP lawmakers in North Carolina last week overrode a veto by the state’s Democratic governor to ban mask wearing in public, with certain exceptions. As part of the new law, people may wear medical masks in public to prevent the spread of illness, but officers and property owners may ask people to remove their masks to verify their identity.

Republican Sen. Buck Newton, a supporter of the bill, said last month, “It’s about time that the craziness is ... at least slowed down, if not put to a stop.”
