Also; I feel like this wasn't about me but I it's important to say:

I dunno what any of you are doing protesting without a mask. Dawg I ain't even go to the grocery store without a mask. It's hard for me to process that A) you know it's a fascist panopticon so covering face is good B) you know Covid is real, but C) you're not wearing a mask.

Whatever you glean from trawling arguments in my replies, please, do not let it be "masking is a niche issue". Killing each other won't beat the fash.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @mhoye Huh? I’m wearing a mask right now, but I don’t wear one at protests. There isn’t much viral transmission outdoors, and if my phone can recognize my face while I’m masked, so can the cops.

"High-risk outdoor activities
Being in large gatherings or crowds of people where it's difficult to stay a safe distance apart makes some outdoor activities higher risk for exposure to the COVID-19 virus. Festivals and parades are examples."

Google is free mate.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @mhoye You know what else is free? Remembering the last five years. And yet folks don’t.

@fivetonsflax @AnarchoNinaWrites @mhoye I remember the last five years. People refusing to mask because they just want it to be over. And killing millions that didn't have to die and disabling more.
You people sound just like your parents when smoking was banned inside or seatbelts became required. Or more aptly drunk driving became looked down on.

@budsofstone You missed the part where I was wearing a mask when I replied! Take a deep breath and calm down.

@fivetonsflax good job not driving drunk sometimes. You can officially say you are slightly better than most.

@budsofstone Point is that I have no problem with masking when it's called for, unlike the Guy You Made Up To Be Mad At.

@fivetonsflax im mad at the guy, thinking hes smarter than every sciencist who has ever studied arial transmission of viral diseases. Is that not you? cause you said viruses dont spread outside. Are you saying you dont believe that now?

@budsofstone Every study I've seen says that outdoor risk is much, much lower than indoor. Of course I try to read what the researchers write, maybe I would come to a different conclusion if I just chanted the word "scientists" like a magic word? 🤷‍♂️

@fivetonsflax thats right, outdoor risk is less. You're so smart, good job. You missed the part of the lesson were less isnt none or minimal, But im sure you'll get, i believe in you.

@budsofstone What is your benchmark for "minimal" and what is your evidence that covid is being transmitted above that level at protests, Mr. Scientists Back Me?

@fivetonsflax aww you want me to do abunch of work to prove my point, thats so cute. Im not a search engine and this isnt debate club. My point with engaging with you is to show other people that there are people who will speak up when you decide that others safety is of little concern. Im not trying to change your mind because it obviously cant be or it would have changed when op gave you reasonable sources. I couldnt care what you think, so long as your shut down. I have nothing to prove to u
