Well, my wife's name is Karen. How about we change the epithet to Stef.

This is an overbroad statement which, much like the lockdowns, ignores individual circumstances. Some masks are sometimes useless, for some people, for some purposes. People (and proprietors) should make their own mask decisions, and not be stigmatized either way.
Could she not just stand 6'1" away and be perfectly safe?
Does respecting someone mean feeding their delusions?
I'll respect my neighbor's right to hold possibly wrong opinions, but I won't pretend that I think they are correct just because they might get upset for a second.
Plus, they can literally still just stay 6' 1" according the current voodoo protocols and be safe.
The people who might get in my face, literally don't believe their own bullshit and are nasty enough not to get any more of my respect anyway.
It is more frequently written as:

But yes, an unfortunately prevalent mindset here in many settings.
Anyone who upsets or bends the conservative social order here tends to get trampled by the state sooner or later, most visible global example lately is Ghosn but there have been numerous domestic examples over the years.
I tend to automatically skip over any post that mentions "Soros" for the same reason.
I have noticed a general rise in antisemitism the past few years and especially the past few months. The BLM movement seems to have turned sharply antisemitic lately, we had #JewishPrivelege topping the twitter trends and celebrities like Nick Cannon have been openly antisemitic. Don't know about anything in the UK specifically.
However, at the same time, there has also been a strong rise in anti-white, anti-European, anti-western, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist and anti-freedom sentiments.

Criticism of a nation, like Israel should not be conflated with anti-semitism. Otherwise, we are forbidden from criticizing most nations in general or discussing foreign policy and that would simply be another form of censorship imposed by the standards of political correctness.

Let's say the masks are slightly effective at best. What does that actually equate to? I think most people would agree they are a pretty big infringement on our lives. Not as big as the full economic shutdown, no sports, removal of gatherings, can't go to restaurants, etc. But they are totally messing up the social dynamic and are just annoying to wear. But how do they affect the total death number? It seems to me this virus has done what its going to do despite the fact that we've all been wearing mask for 4 months. I'm supposed to believe we are saving significant lives until what...a vaccine is available? Will we not reach herd immunity before that occurs? I just don't see how they do anything at all to decrease the total amount of deaths when its all said and done?
This 83kg USAPL lifter put up an 825kg total, but was disqualified...for not wearing his silly mask tightly enough.
What’s the difference between a p-value of 0.04 and 0.06? The evidence is still leaning towards a given direction.
Personally, Sully has the best takes on this whole thread. He recognizes complexity and uncertainty, and doesn’t cherry pick evidence. That’s more than I can say for 95% of the posters here, including Rip.
I’d post a picture of a guy (I know him) in a mask at boot camp, completely covered in dirt, just outside of the Crucible cage match ring, if I didn’t think it’d potentially cause trouble. (Identity issues?)
It’s far from clear what the masks are doing for them except impeding breathing while they pummel each other and exhaust volumes of moisture in immediate proximity to each other. “When you can’t social distance ... and you can’t not breathe down the other guy’s neck, wear a mask?”
And every one of these guys are not a little very very healthy.
More insanity.
I knew this was only a matter of time...
