“Intellectuals are more totalitarian in outlook than the common people. Most of them are perfectly ready for dictatorial methods, secret police, systematic falsification of history, etc. so long as they feel that it is on ‘our’ side.” — George Orwell, 1944
You are not crazy but they are; they are minions.. followers.. order takers and compliant simpletons.
Be safe
Be kind
"Councillor Allison Butcher originally proposed a bylaw even though she acknowledged it would be difficult to pass one anytime soon.
“I had to go to Nova Scotia yesterday and I stopped at a store and it was so refreshing to see that the mask compliance was close to a hundred percent,” Butcher told council, referring to the requirement in Nova Scotia that people wear masks in most indoor public places."
A really scary phenomenon is happening as noted in above comments, with people feeling entitled to confront other people about not wearing a mask. “The science is settled” they say without understanding how the scientific process works. The bullying and social shaming has now become acceptable. Do we bully overweight people in public (there are many) because they are unhealthy and increasing costs and delays in the health care system? Suddenly Maritimers are all health conscious. Likely this would be done by entitled authoritarian leftists as well if someone were to say wear a MAGA hat or god forbid put up a PPC sign (as evidenced during the last campaign). First the doctors said not to wear a mask, covid didn’t spread from human to human (WHO), travel bans were racist and now some are suggesting we need to wear masks but of course now they are 100% sure that is correct. Wearing a mask can also be seen as being a loyal sheep not necessarily intelligent… but it feels good to feel superior – this together with climate change has become a religious cult of sorts. Try to have more of an open mind, look at countries that didn’t lockdown or enforce masks and are still doing fine.
