A Message to Anti-Maskers

The irony of the anti-mask crowd is, it's YOU, you dumb fucks. You're the ones who are stealing freedom from all the rest of us.

This shit is contained in every other first world nation because no other culture has you morons. You've been asked to make a handful of entirely manageable sacrifices for the common good, but you won't do that because you possess this uniquely American malfunction: you have a spoiled rich kid's idea of freedom; Donald Trump's idea of freedom, which is "I do whatever I want, and if anybody else gets hurt, fuck 'em."

"We can contain this outbreak if we all just wear masks when we go out? Oh thank god, that's so easy!" say the rational Americans whose brains still work.

"NO!" shriek you wingnuts. "I've decided 'liberty' means my every passing whim must be gratified because my emotional development stopped at age three!"

And so, no matter how many millions of us do the right thing, make the sacrifices, y'know…CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, there have consistently been enough of you maniacs offering free rides to the fucking Coronavirus so that the whole country has to stay trapped in this funhouse.

Social media circles are so easy to manipulate. Shit, this crap is probably all coming from nerds at a Russian troll farm, cackling about how much easier it is to kill Americans with memes than with bombs.

YOU are the reasons schools aren't safe for children now, by the way. All that lost educational and social development that you're suddenly so concerned about? It's your fault, and every fucking day you spend shrieking at entry-level service employees about your perceived "rights" is another day you take from them; another day you take from ALL of us. The the rest of us just have to fucking live with it, I guess. As you take and take and take from millions of people you can't be bothered to think—much less care—about. You take their safety, their peace of mind, their future. And in 145,000 160,000 cases and counting, you've taken everything. All this suffering and death doesn't seem to move you in the slightest, and I have to say that's really fucked up.

You folks are broken. You are failed humans. And congratulations, you've ruined everything for everyone else. You got what you wanted. Nobody can tell you to eat your peas. There'll be another quarter million corpses before this is over, and it'll take years to recover from the economic carnage, but you showed us! You "owned the libtards" and nobody can make you do something that you don't want to!

Nobody can make you wear a small piece of fabric over your nose and mouth. For short periods of time. To end a crisis. To save lives. Your parents must be proud.
