There is no two sides to this

Re: Should I wear a mask?

I want to start this by saying I can't see merits in both arguments. This is about trying to persuade people to agree with one side. I will not sit squarely on the fence. 

What a luxury it is to not have to pick a side when people's lives are in the balance. What a glorious privilege to be able to say I don't care enough either way to have an opinion about this. Life is not a Joni Mitchell song.

When you choose to sit on the fence and play both sides, you side with the oppressor. That's the cold hard truth. It might not make you happy, but it matters more than your false sense of security. 

I refuse to be civil to those who refuse to see the humanity in others. 

How does this relate to anti maskers? 

Wearing a mask is a matter of public health. 

Wearing a mask helps stop the spread of a virus that is, whether anti maskers want to acknowledge it or not, spreading. 

Wearing a mask is also mandatory now in BC.

Assaulting/abusing employees who are only doing their jobs asking you to wear is reprehensible. 

Assaulting/abusing other citizens who do wear one is just absurd. 

That has nothing to do freedom. 

Freedom for me, but not thee is not freedom. 

I will not sit on the fence as anti maskers are terrorizing our city.

I protest often.

I yell even more.

I've never done the stuff they are doing. 

There is not two sides here.

There is right and wrong.
