It still amazes me how enthusiastically Westerners embraced the wearing and enforcement of face coverings in public.
The authorities just had to say 'Science' instead of 'Allah' and people fell into line.
Even when it makes NO sense, they want you to comply and not question.
If people would just admit these bizarre face mask rituals are primarily about obedience, tribal signalling and conflict avoidance, rather than science, I would respect it more.
I can appreciate and respect religious adherence, even if I don't share the exact same beliefs. 😃
I've had several occasions in different cities where I've been asked/demanded to wear a mask despite nobody being within 20 metres of me... Sometimes outside.
Imagine thinking this behaviour is about science. Or the bizarre restaurant entry rituals y'all do. 😂
I've never seen more weird and irrational human behaviour at any other point in my life.
Sometimes I feel like I'm an explorer, amongst a new emergent species, trying to work out their behaviours and social dynamics. It's very strange.
"It's different when we do it! This is Science!" 🤬😡🤬
Ya...

18 valuable success tips I've learned over the past 18 years:
1/ If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will. Become a fan of yourself first before seeking wider attention and acknowledgment.
2/ Strangers will often support you more than your friends and family. Don't be disheartened by that. Be encouraged.
3/ Learn to differentiate between friends, fans, followers, and customers. They overlap but they're not the same and your expectations and approach for each should be different.
The fact an idea as obviously incoherent as 'transgenderism' has gained so much traction in the West demonstrates the downsides of hyper liberalism and 'tolerance' at all costs.
How about we tolerate and affirm reality?
It's not even 'tolerance' or 'liberalism' when the people (especially women) who speak up in defense of reality are maligned, threatened, and attacked.
The entire charade is ridiculous.
A man isn't a woman and a woman isn't a man. And nobody is 'non-binary'. Stop being dumb.
10 years ago, nobody believed this nonsense.
Now, millions are pretending to, while the majority know it's nonsense but won't say that it's nonsense. People are tying themselves up in knots to not state the obvious.
The LGB folks need to distance themselves from the Ts and Qs because they're destroying everything you fought for and creating increased resentment for your 'community'.
This has global ramifications too. Not just Western ones.
The fact all these 'identities' are lumped together anyway is purely political. It's logically incoherent.
Most people wouldn't care about all this stuff, but once 'activists' and 'allies' start overstepping hard lines, boundaries, and the rights of others, you force them to.
People often forget that tolerance is a TWO way street. And it's not the same thing as acceptance, support, nor celebration.
Most people are not bigots nor hateful. But they have boundaries and their own rights and desire to be left alone too.
