The good old times where you could say things like "wear a mask" and "save gas" without armed crowds showing up at the local parliament

Ray, Yes, a time before extensive government overreach and before the "elite" tried to shape the world to their vision of how the servant class (you and I) should behave.

Ellender,

Hahaha. Serously? Before the elite tried to to shape the world and tried to force people how to behave?
Until VERY recently, unless you were of noble blood or was a high ranking church member you had almost no say in what you could do. Not in the least because you were being kept too poor to barely make rent and buy too little food to remain healthy.
Freedom of religion or even not to believe? Nope. If you didn't show up in church you would be at the very least shunned.
And if the local elite didn't force you, everyone in your local village kept you in your place if you decided to do your own thing.

Throughout the whole of history you and most people reading this, who I presume has a "normal" job and not being of blue blood, has never been more free.

You have more options, are healthier, and can live how you want more than almost everyone that has ever lived.
Choose your own religion and live as an open Buddhist for example? That has only been the case for someone in your "class" for a 150 years IF you lived in a bigger city. Maybe.
You can afford to eat a wide variety of foods from all over the world being healthier. Only possible for 60 years or so.
If you want to come out as gay you can do that only since VERY recently.
These days you can even criticize the local monarchy or government openly in most places and start coming up with crazy conspiracy theories about how they try to control you! :)
If I want to go to the other side of the world next week and start a completely different life of my choosing or even go on vacation I can. Name one time in history where someone not of noble blood or born rich could have done that.

And don't say when people went to America to start a new life living on their own trems. Because the only reason most people went America was because they couldn't make a living in other places and went there out of pure desperation to find a better life, mostly discovering it was just as hard trying to make a living or even survive there.

Absalom,

Sure... I'm making a pretty obvious case that we are free, advocating we can and should live how we want regardless of how anyone thinks we should be, and you obviously have nothing to counter any of my points.
But I'm a "drone" that's just following the herd...somehow...
Logic missing.

Ray, The masks did not help with Spanish Flu, in fact it made matters worse. Tens of thousands died as a result.

Posthuma,

That's not true. Masks and social distancing reduced death rates by up to 50% in US cities.

Ray,

Posthuma is correct. Masks have been shown to be ineffective against COVID.

And none of the Jan 6 crowd was armed. The only person shot & killed that day was Ashli Babbitt - one of the unarmed peaceful protesters.

Assene,

You can hurl insults but you can't refute the statements.
Maybe you can provide the study showing that cloth & surgical masks prevented the spread of COVID.
Maybe you can provide the number of people shot or killed by the Jan 6 protesters.
Fact is, you can't - because neither exists. But I'm the one living in a fantasy world...

Ned,

You can find LOADS of logic and studies on why masks work with Covid. I can even break it down simply here.
Covid is spread by travelling on the bodily fluids you sneeze and breath out. If you do not wear a mask, they will spread far further than with a mask which keeps most if not all in. Likewise, the Covid particles of other people will stay on the outside of your mask.

Arguing anyone wearing a mask is stupid is the same as arguing a surgeon is stupid for wearing one. It's the same basic principel.

But let's be honest. You knew this already, didn't you.
In my country this has been featured many times on the news and I'm sure in yours as well.
If you would google the question, you'll get many sites, most official medical backed, that tell you the exact same thing. I'm sure you'll find scientific studies if you try.
I'm not going to bother finding them for you because you're not even gonna read them but dismiss them out of hand.

Because after all, every scientist and anyone associated with medical personnel is in on the "great conspiracy", right?

Every study or even explanation was planted by the elusive deep state or mindlessly copy pasted by some stupid, libtard sheep like myself as I just did,.. right???

Well, the explanation I gave you seems pretty logical to me. But whatever.
Just downvote this and keep on believing in your conspiracy nonsense that gives you a simple answer on why the world is bad, a reason why you don't have to do anything, and the sense that you're some lone hero fighting the evil forces giving your life meaning...

Would that include the one who just went to jail for being there with a gun loaded with hollow points and who said -- in court -- that if he'd seen Pelosi he would have been standing in front of a judge for a different reason?
