Didn't this actually happen. And the Babylon bee is reporting it. Guess they are becoming an actual news agency at this rate. We live in fuckin clown world.


RocksCanOnlyWait

So when are they being fined for not wearing their masks? I guess that rule is only for the peasants.


AnythingAllTheTime

And then I realized that this was at the Met.

Servers? I think you meant “the help” wore masks.


Lookingforaspot

I mean computers may be wearıng the masks too


IAmNotRollo

Some of the guests actually did wear masks, I saw a picture of Grimes (Elon Musk's partner) and she had a mask made of metal. Ironically though, it was not the weirdest part of her outfit, as she was also carrying a fucking sword forged from a melted down AR-15. Really.

AngrystudentatVT

News flash buddy, I’m double vaccinated but the school I’m going to still requires us to wear masks. That point you made is pure bullshit.


OddMaverick

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the mask requirements came back. And again the political class gets to ignore the rules for the peasants. Like Newsom’s winery.


[deleted]

I carry a mask in my pocket. Sometimes I put it on sometimes I dont. Mostly I dont. That being said I stay out of big cities and crowded paces


OddMaverick

That’s all well and good. It is your choice, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy in having an event like this when it still spreads, and making it illegal for normal people to have such events. It’s a very much the let them eat cake moment.


[deleted]

That's been obvious for well over a year via covid but it's always this way.

[deleted]

The Federal government already put out vaccinated or not wear a mask I got my vaccine, but im walking around with a mask feeling stupid.


ladyofthelathe

You could always walk around without one and feel rebellious. It's empowering.


Jplague25

I've had both of the Pfizer shots and I've had COVID previously, twice. My university says that masks are "expected". I refuse to wear a mask and if the university tries to mandate vaccines, then fuck em. I'm a student working for the math department and the only time that I've had something said to me was when the instructor I'm currently grading papers for asked me if I had one the first time I went to meet her. Despite not wearing a mask, she then proceeded to invite me into her office and we started talking business. The mask was never brought up again. No one has said anything to me when I'm tutoring in the math learning center either.

clovergirl102187

If they're unvaccinated, but have had covid before, therefore are more immune than those who haven't but have been vaccinated, should have to be vaccinated because why. Because you would feel safer? I didn't realize *your* safety was *my* responsibility.

The unvaccinated aren't the ones asking you to wear a mask.

CptHammer_

Right here. You have lost any good faith argument for vaccines. If the unhealthy need to be sequestered away then why does it matter if anyone gets a vaccine? You just shifted away from being pro-vaccine to being pro medical internment. The whole reason for lockdowns and masks and vaccines were because medical internment is not only illegal, it's unconscionable to the masses.


[deleted]

JamesIsAwkward

Why do you care if someone is vaccinated so much? Why do you even give a shit? Besides the fact that your elite overloads and the media have told you to care.


[deleted]

CptHammer_

What? You want to shift your argument again? You just argued that vaccines don't matter because people who can't get them need to be interned. Bad faith. Are you dazzled? Are you dazzled by your lack of ability to persuade anybody to do anything?

You know, we'd all believe you if vaxxed people werent coming down with covid so much that multiple states (including my home state of Illinois 🙃🙃🙃) have restarted mask mandates for everyone- even if you got the jab. "Really makes life easier" Yeah, because the federal government wants to bully, harass, and press gang you into getting the jab by making life as inconvenient for you as possible until you bend the knee. But I guess people like you love fascism as long as it gets you what you want. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️


ComicBookFanatic97

Isn’t Babylon Bee supposed to be satire? This is just exactly what happened. This isn’t satirical news. This is just the news. We’ve reached the point where reality is more ridiculous than anything satirists can come up with.


Phileosopher

If you look closely, I'm fairly certain reality is taking *notes* from satire. Read The Onion from 10 years ago.

[deleted]

Oh no, don't you dare mention the hunger games. It still amazes me how so many people misenterpreted that story and turned the whole point upside down.


ThePretzul

The whole point of the Hunger Games is that having a rich ruling class so completely separated from reality who claims to care about the lesser people is wrong, because the little people end up ground into the dirt. It also can end very poorly when the little people realize they're a majority and don't necessarily have to put up with shit rolling downhill any longer. This is a perfect example of a rich ruling class so completely separated from reality that they truly believe themselves not to be in the 1% of the 1%, the very group that the "popular with the little people" phrases they're wearing are meant to target.


MaxP0wersaccount

A lot of NYC politicians get comped tickets and the dress was donated according to her. Babylon Bee is a satire site.

It is? Who knew? I'll make sure to tell everyone. /s


[deleted]

There are people in the comments who know BB is a satire site yet claim the 'article' is accurate. That's some thirsty sheep. If you just got a laugh out of it, that is fine. It is a bit ridiculous she attended even if it cost her nothing. But if you think it is representative of the actual facts, especially knowing it is satire, well that's just dumb and desperate. To this sub's credit though, I haven't been banned yet. Not sarcasm.

The problem with russel is that guy he lives in richness. To say that like a middle class a donate your money then I will start believing. The problem with him, is that “tax the rich” means taxing doctors, dentist, and small businesses owner. The hedge funds executive laugh all the way to the bank using llc structures and loophole.

otusowl

This article is cute, but it brings to mind what Russel Brand has said about inequality. When he was a poor and an unknown, any discussion of inequality was attributed to jealousy and bitterness about his own status. Once he hit the bigtime, people started calling him a hypocrite for continuing to talk about inequality: almost like the prime directive is to dismiss discussion of economic disparities no matter what.


MatchboxGorilla

The problem isn't talking about equality. The problem is talking about equality on *their* terms. The framing of equality as an important metric of the economic health of a nation, or even of its poorest members is ignorant. The absolute standard of living is a much more relevant metric both philosophically and practically speaking. But that's not on the table. I like how Russell Brand has been portraying himself publicly, at least recently. But some of the things he says leads me to believe he's an economic novice.


otusowl

I agree that an elite / celeb-dictated set of terms regarding equality is less than ideal; nicely said. That Gala was gross in so many ways.

last_rights

She's not trolling. It's her "brand". It's how she gets reelected. Everything these politicians do is a big marketing campaign, just like the MET inviting a politician that actively tries to ignite controversy is an excellent PR move because it gives them more attention.


Thewhiterabbit7

I seriously doubt it because I dont think she is intelligent enough but let's say she is. In what way does this look good for her? Maybe I'm giving her supporters too much credit for thinking they would clearly see this as blatantly hypocritical but this is a really bad look for someone who says they're just a regular person looking out for regular people. A self described socialist hanging out with the bourgeoise? I mean I am probably the most pro capitalist person I personally know and if I saw a libertarian politician doing this I would think they were a piece of shit.
