Look at that gimpoid still wearing a mask
Sometimes I still have to remember there's nutty fucks out there who still believe those shitty masks do anything. Here in the UK virtually nobody is wearing them anymore and we're all still alive.

Look at that gimpoid still wearing a mask

why the insult?
his wearing a mask doesn't impact you at all. not one bit.
do you feel you have a right to make your own decision on whether or not to wear a mask? do you feel others should respect that?
it doesn't affect you at all so why not just respect his right to make his own decision?

Why not.
Wrong. Collectively everyone indulging in fanatical behaviour that is rooted in delusion inevitably and inexorably causes suffering to all. In this particular context wearing masks is signalling submission to a political ideology, which is incredibly dangerous.
I HAVE the inalienable right to make my own decision about what I choose to wear on my person. It's not about feelings. The fact you would even phrase it like that again makes me suspicious about the nature of your character to be perfectly frank.
And you're damn right people should respect that. Any law or mandate that enforces an individual to wear something that physically interferes with the critical physiological process of breathing can be nothing but tyranny - before you dive outside the relevant context here, I'm talking about in public or private spaces, not on work sites where masks may actually serve an actual protective purpose e.g. in construction, where toxic materials are being used, etc.
See above. I'm also not obligated to respect his delusional behaviour. If he wants to wear one of his own free will that's fine, I still won't respect him for it, though we both know that he wouldn't have chosen to wear one five years ago. In reality it's not a choice he's made of his own free will, he's been snowed by political science into believing he needs to wear one.. which is pathetic, so again I can't respect someone in that position.
I'll respect him when he admits he was a fool acting foolishly.
Like I said, if he wants to wear one that should be his choice, as it should be my choice not to wear one. You don't get to demand respect for wearing one, but respect should be afforded for the choice not to.

Nobody is demanding respect, or asking for other's opinions at all, for wearing a mask.
It would be nice if conspiracy people would stop disrespecting them, though.
Sheep have feelings, too.
No one is entitled to respect for their choices. People can have different philosophies and view certain choices through a completely different lens. I think both of you actually understand that already, but you're just making allowances in this context because you disagree with the position I happen to be taking.
There's lots of choices people make that I don't agree with, but I'll still respect their ability to make that choice, and above all I respect the right to choose freely. In this instance I don't agree with their choice and I don't feel inclined to respect them for it because I believe their choice, cumulatively with everyone else making the same choice, is posing a threat to my safety (and everyone else's) by signalling political submission.
From my perspective they're engaging in a delusion which has potential ramifications for me. If the consequence was for themselves only then I wouldn't care. I'd still feel sympathetic for suffering a delusion though, and I do in this instance to an extent because I think they've been deceived. However, my safety comes before theirs, so pleasant sympathies always come second.
You (and gimpoid) have the right to be offended by that if you choose, but not the right not to be offended by it.

well, except you of course:
bottom line is that you have absolutely no idea why he's wearing a mask. none at all. yet he's a gimpoid for doing it.
your lazy assumptions, hypocrisy and lame double standard could not be on display any more clearly.

The government will hand out gas masks to civilians for WWIII and the tinfoil people will think it's an attempt to change their DNA into the ghost of Fauci.
I'm a strong independent thinker. You can't tell me what to do!

Yeah, I cringe when I see people wear those these days. I'm still using the free n95 masks the gubberment sent me.
I only use them in crowded indoor environments.

Have you considered the possibility they're just really too lazy to take it off?
