I'm a longtime vegan tankie, but nothing makes people unfriend me faster than saying "people should mask because COVID is still dangerous" (hexbear.net)

Seriously I've lost count of the number of people I've lost, it's at least 20 since the pandemic started. It's not like people forward me articles like "oh here's why COVID is fine now".

It's an iron law to me know, I've seen it so much in my life. Libs CANNOT stomach the idea that they're in the wrong about something. It'll eat them up inside worse than anything.

'why are you wearing a mask?'

That shit is beyond toxic. COVID conscious Twitter is filled with immunocompromised people sharing strats on how to manage all the white dude intrusions into their personal safety.

Edit: I do think a lot of it is just people feeling cognitive dissonance with their own negligent behaviour.

"The fuck do you care?" Is great at getting people out of your face about a mask. There isn't a good answer for them, and the preemptive aggression makes them back off.
