I've finally cracked it. The reason people are antimaskers and antilockdowners is because the whole thing is altruistic. Its the sacrifice of the many for the few. You suffer, minorly, moderately, or even majorly, so that the few don't suffer absolutely. And people aren't willing
They don't want to save the few from agonising death. That's someone else's job. They want freedom from inconvenience and displeasure at any cost. They don't care.
They don't care if a "few" people die alone and in pain, if they can just keep on with what they want and like. They want normal again, because they don't care about anything or anyone but themselves.
Why should they have to? Who says? Noone tells them what to do. And your gran, your uncle, your partner, your kids, they're all just collateral damage. Tough luck. People die.
Had a long conversation with an anti lockdown person and this was their attitude. Unashamedly. The majority should not have to sacrifice anything for the minority. The minority should be isolated. Looked after out of sight and out of mind. Or not. It's not their job to sort that.
