I’m not saying I agree with the anti-mask anti-lockdown faction (nor am I saying I disagree with them, either). The point was that such diametrically opposes viewpoints existing today is yet another great example of how we live in a schizophrenic, postmodern, fractured “post-truth society”.

And the irony, in my opinion, is that you have a better chance of getting the truth by being open-minded enough to objectively review both “fringe” sources and MSM propaganda (propaganda isn’t always 100% false, remember, there could be some good mixed in it — such as anti-smoking propaganda — it IS a form of conditioning/propaganda but it has a good intent behind it).

But anyway let’s just casually list off some of the harms of mask-wearing and lockdowns off the top of my head —

>many people will wear masks improperly, keep touching them and readjusting them, reuse them, basically making them worthless
>reduced interaction with other humans = weaker immune system, less exposure to the normal bacteria and germs which strengthen our immune system
>depression, poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, suicide, and lack of access to necessary medical treatments and surgery from lockdown and COVID-19

To make clear, I’m playing devil’s advocate/being somewhat agnostic about all this, I’m not saying “end all lockdowns and take away all mask mandates now,” just bringing up opposing viewpoints.
