Refusing to wear a mask

So this is a side note from my previous post.

The decision to not wear a mask is 2 fold:
1. Refusing to participate in the fear mongering that our Tyrant is doing in order to keep power.
2. Knowing that wearing a mask is useless right now.

Now, our decision to not go to our favorite store comes from the fact that the store is private property.  They get to set the rules for their property.  If they require a mask, we will respect that decision and feel no animosity toward them.  We will return when they lift the stupid rule that was forced on them.

We will not comply with the mask edict from our Tyrant, but we will respect the business, so we simply will not go.

The funny thing is that other stores have been requiring a mask for a while now, but no one has said "boo" about us not wearing one.  But should that happen:
1. If it's another customer, they will be told in no uncertain terms were to stick it and I will not be polite about it.
2. If it's a store employee, we will be polite, refuse and continue on our way through the store.
3. If the store director asks us to leave, we will do so respectfully, and quietly.  We may never be back or we might come back the next day.

But we will never comply with arbitrary, baseless, useless demands from Tyrants.

Insufferable elitists

We are facing many problems today.  But one of the big, but quiet, issues is the rise of insufferable elitists.

You've all known them.  In my memory, they are women (for some strange reason) who are older.  They treat you like a 2 year old (no matter how old you are) and that you know absolutely nothing.  With the implication that they know everything.  Of course, after listening to them for 2 minutes, you realize that they are a few bricks short of a wall.

Today, they seem to cover all kinds of people, but they are easily identifiable.

When talking with them, you will find that they have a stand of "I am right, and if you disagree with me, then you must be wrong."  They have no sense that they might be wrong and need to at least listen to what you have to say.

No amount of facts will make them think that they might be wrong.  They constantly quote of some "expert"s information - but they have completely failed to vet that expert.  If they ask the source of your information, they will attack that source instead of discussing whether the information is true or not.

They become insufferable because if you post anything that goes against what they believe, they will keep posting their "questions" (really leading questions to get you to think the way they think) and not listening to your answers.

They continue to cling to their beliefs (which is really what they have) no matter how many facts you bring to their attention.

The real problem is that the Tyrants (ex: so-called Governors who have suspended the Constitution in their states and rule without consent) use these people to push the fear that the Tyrants use to keep people in line.

Yesterday, our favorite store announced that due to the restrictions of our Tyrant, they will require all customers to wear a mask.  Never mind that there is absolutely no data that shows that the lockdown we are still under is even effective.  So we decided that we will no longer go to that store - at least until the stupid rule is removed.

But I was surprised by the number of people who thought that making everyone wear a mask was a good idea and how vehement some were about the idea that someone was thinking for themselves and going against the Narrative.  The attitudes of these people were elitist (and that's really putting it mildly).

We need to counter these elitists and put them in their place (hiding in their home without Internet, preferably).
