We have to wear FFP2, FFP2 is both protection to self and others.
The bad masks only protect you, and FFP2 and above protect others and you.
Honestly, I think it's fucking stupid not to wear it, and even more stupid to make ur people believe they're safe.
You have no idea what happens when the virus mutates more (which it's already doing)
It's going to get worse.
Also the whole immunity thing. Yeah, you're right, it's better for you to catch it early. But this is not about you. This is about your parents, grandparents, kids, this is about a big part of society that is in danger. So please just think about others for maybe one fucking second before you spew a bunch of nonsense.
Also, you're calling me stupid for wearing a mask?! Because I want to protect my family? Because I'm not some ostentatious snob that wants to "really show the idiots his business" by not caring about the lives of others. How fucking dare you? HOW fucking dare you even take it upon yourself to decide how intelligent others are?
Nothing of the kind, at least not with me, let me assure you of that straight off the bat. All of a sudden decent people haven't just switched turned rogue. Those who have turned rogue are those who were always going to turn rogue given the variables and triggers for it to happen. They were always going to turn against their own, that's how psychological operations work in times of war. You'll always get people defecting to the side of the enemy, perceived or otherwise. There are always people willing to turn to the dark side, to put it a certain way. The government could get you to turn against your parents, grandparents and kids right now if they wanted to. And you know what is the most disturbing part? If you're partial to actually believing your entire reality and life history was one big lie and that it should all be taken away at the drop of a hat, you'd probably sell all those people out too.
I'm not attacking you when I say this, I'm just stating facts. It's a psychological operation and you're a victim. The fact that you're so emotionally disturbed by it really proves it. How? Let's go to a desert island somewhere where there's no TV, no social media, nothing of that kind of thing and let's see how long it takes for you to calm down and start to realize that for you to truly attach yourself to this narrative like it's actually real life you have to be in the environment where it's happening. Bring your family as well, bring your friends, bring everyone and we will set up shop on this desert island and let's see who dies. Let's see the so-called impending doom hit. The only impending doom we will face will be starving to death because the chances are, none of us have survival skills. Test my hypothesis. Find the nearest place that is absolutely out of the way from everything and everyone. Spend as long as you can there in order to become accustomed to this environment and then spend some time noticing the difference. Turn your smartphone off. Make sure you're out of the way so no-one can come running upto you and scare you with ghost stories. Is there COVID-19 here? No. Are you dying? Is anyone else?
It's amazing how easy it is for human populations to buy into prophetic visions of impending doom. I guess that's why we spent much of our human history believing in evil spirits, monsters and magical powers. I guess that's how religions were formed.I guess that's why the Church ruled over millions for centuries and why nobody questioned whether God was actually in control or whether it was a bunch of power hungry psychopathic deranged religious leaders who knew the only way they could control everybody was to quite literally use the fear of God. You want to know what's even more bizarre? Is the fact that we know today that all the magical thinking of religions is in fact absolutely ridiculous. You can't cure me with your magic touch. Both of us have never met demons before and have been able to provide evidence if only by word. We all know that if a religious fellow ever tried to scare the sh*t out of us and our families with "Do this or God will come down and smite you!" we'd be knocking on his door and punching that pr*ck into next week. It's often the case that people do that today to exploit others who are naive enough, vulnerable enough and perhaps even stupid enough to believe the world actually works like that. "Take off your knickers and I'll use my magical powers to heal you of your illness!" said the perverted priest to the underage child. And yet today in 2021 that's precisely what is going on under another guise and despite us all supposedly moving on the dark, hysterical, manic and superstitious persecutory days of our religious pasts, we still crumble at the eventuality of a modern twist on that classic plot.
That's how entire populations have been put under a spell, literally, since time began. That's how the Egyptians got the pyramids built, because most of the workforce supported slave labour. That's how Christanity ruled over the Western world, because the population submitted to the insanity of religious persecution and believed it was the only reality there was.
And you using your family as weapons to blackmail others into submission is no different to a priest saying that yours will die by next week if you don't submit to God and spend your life as a peasant under the command of a Lord. Tell me what is the difference? Very little. Let's test out the truth, shall we? Find out what happens when you STOP believing in the evil spirits and believe there is some virus that conveniently resembles human intelligence and knows exactly what to do and when and where to strike and how and somehow has an amazing PR team behind it, see what happens then. Just try it. Either disappear for a while so that the main subject is NOT COVID-19, or stop capitulating and see what happens. I can guarantee your family and friends will still be there at the end of it all. Sure, some might die but aren't we all headed for death? Before COVID-19 believe it or not, people still died. Just like before the religious persecutory days, people died not of sin and demonic possession etc but simply because they got sick. But I guess the only sickness that exists today is COVID-19, right? We better throw away the medical literature on 99% of what we know of the human condition and simply replace all those pages with COVID-19, right? Make sense? Can't you see the insanity? Just test out what I said and see what happens.
The fear of God doesn't exist. It's not the fear of God you fear, it's your own shadow made into your own enemy by those who know how to make that into a reality.
What you actually fear is the unknown and because you're not able to piece the story together to figure out what lurks beyond the darkness, someone else will simply come along and do that for you. And when they do, be pretty confident that they will take control over you and your life at the same time. But at least now you know how the general population historically became slaves and peasants. All you have to do is scare them enough, divide them enough and then tell them their new way of life is the only way they can live and that they have to trust those in charge - the rest is history. Just do basic research on history of human societies to see this for yourself. It wasn't lightyears ago that we were doing human rituals in certain parts of the world by sacrificing children to 'Sun' Gods by ripping their beating hearts out of their bodies in order to sacrifice them and the blood that came flowing out of their lifeless bodies to the so-called real things that live in the sky.
Your mask is a symbol of all that dark human history, it's just now resculpted into a more relevant modern narrative that people think is right for the time. This WOULD have been an ideological religious belief only a few hundred years ago. You would have been telling everybody to believe in Christ otherwise they would die a fiery death and forever be condemned to the underworld forever haunted by demonic creatures of all kinds. People can't seem to draw that distinction because of course, the disconnect is so HUGE and people are so demoralized and detached from reality itself and so uninformed of the past, it all seems pretty damned real, but so were the witch hunts of the medieval era to those who lived in those times. You try and convince a witch hunter that they were brainwashed by the hysteria and religious stigma of the day and they would have probably opted to have YOU burned at the cross.
In today's world psychological operations is a more fitting description. Because it's primarily a tactic used by militaries to demoralize and gain advantage over the enemy, usually by getting deep into the heart of their population and scaring the absolute sh*t out of them in order to get their people to comply with the invading forces. They did it in Vietnam. They did it in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
All you have to do is ask yourself - why IS this the new normal? A virus that will come and go forever now all of a sudden is the reason reality has to change forever? Really? Just like when Christianity came to the West it became the foundations of the formation of religious rule that took centuries to eradicate. Go to that quiet place I talked about earlier and see whether any of this exists. Do you think the cows are living in the same reality? The sheep? Are they falling over dying of some elaborate virus? Why isn't the rest of the world crumbling? Why is it only where you can find us humans? It's not like the rest of the animal kingdom is immune to being wiped out, just look at history for that one. Nobody is immune and so why is it only us? Why has there never been a recorded pandemic for any other animal? Why are there never life changing global events that don't involve humans? Makes you wonder. It's because WE are the only ones with imaginations and because we think, because we feel, because we are vulnerable and because we are prone for these vulnerabilities to be exploited, we are the only suitable targets. What's even more crazier is the fact that we do this to OURSELVES.
Go get a tent, take a weekend away, have a breather. I can guarantee nothing will have changed. All that will have changed will be the scene of the theater script will have changed from act to act. But when you leave the theater, you're no longer part of the play. Understand the difference. All the best.
