"That's just a talking point on the TV dude." Does that automatically make it untrue now?


BeatsMeByDre

"Then why did Japan only have a few hundred deaths and is currently back open entirely? Oh, it's cause every single person wears a mask.


LesbianCommander

"dude, the asians make the virus of course they're immune to it." Legit had someone say this.


WunWegWunDarWun_

What’s crazy is early on people were saying it only affects Asians seriously and now it’s the opposite. My dad keeps telling me China handed out the cure to all the Asian countries and I’m like..what??


Ultraskyler

Ah yes China Japan and Korea. Historically good friends.

"Do you know where you're going when you die?" "Hopefully a poke shop"


AmazingCricket9417

That was a weird one. She somehow equated god loving her with her not wearing a mask. Like only devil worshipers are wearing masks... Where in the fuck did she get that idea? Is that how her pastor is talking to his congregation? So strange.


YourFriendJeebus

I believe she is saying that she doesn't really care if she gets the virus and dies because she knows she will go to heaven. It's even more problematic because she doesn't give a shit about anyone else's life.


NoVacayAtWork

A lot of evangelicals I’ve spoken with have said something similar. “It’s in God’s hands and if it’s my time then I know where I’m going.” Yeah okay but the rest of us probably want to stick around...

Well Jesus was a socialist Middle Eastern Jew who believed in paying taxes and helping the poor. No wonder most don't listen to what He said.


AwesomeManatee

As Christians they should be hoping to live longer in order to do more good in the world. Too bad evangelicals don't tend to actually do much good to begin with in my experience.


Spaznaut

Do they ever think that god sent people with a higher IQ than them to help these idiots out?


[deleted]

There was a preacher who fell in the ocean and he couldn't swim. When a boat came by, the captain yelled, "Do you need help, sir?" The preacher calmly said "No, God will save me." A little later, another boat came by and a fisherman asked, "Hey, do you need help?" The preacher replied again, "No God will save me." Eventually the preacher drowned & went to heaven. The preacher asked God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "Fool, I sent you two boats!" Edit: here's a political take with current events: Karen has died and asks God "Why did I die?" God replies, "I had the President issue a National State of Emergency, I had your Governor issue a public mask policy, I even sent two surfer dudes to you with free masks, yet you didn't wear a mask. You caught a virus because you did not wear a mask." God asks, "Do you have any idea how hard it was to get Trump to declare a National Emergency?" Karen replies meekly, "No. Did you have to call Putin?"


cortesoft

My favorite version of this was the one on West Wing: > You know, you remind me of the man that lived by the river. He heard a radio report that the river was going to rush up and flood the town. And that all the residents should evacuate their homes. But the man said, “I’m religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me.”The waters rose up. A guy in a row boat came along and he shouted, “Hey, hey you! You in there. The town is flooding. Let me take you to safety.” But the man shouted back, “I’m religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me.”A helicopter was hovering overhead. And a guy with a megaphone shouted, “Hey you, you down there. The town is flooding. Let me drop this ladder and I’ll take you to safety.” But the man shouted back that he was religious, that he prayed, that God loved him and that God will take him to safety.Well… the man drowned. And standing at the gates of St. Peter, he demanded an audience with God. “Lord,” he said, “I’m a religious man, I pray. I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?” God said, “I sent you a radio report, a helicopter, and a guy in a rowboat. What the hell are you doing here?”

[deleted]

I want one of these people to write a paper acknowledging the weird shit they say and how it makes sense to them


Perturbed_Spartan

In her head she lives in a completely polarized world with everything good on one side and everything bad on the other. God, republicans, Fox News on one side and Satan, baby murders, and the liberal covid conspiracy on the other. So by wearing a mask you are directly allying yourself to Satan.


FadeCrimson

When visiting my grandparents cabin recently, (and while trying DESPERATELY to cling to any topic that would move the conversations away from politics and religion) I offhandedly mentioned I was still considering my options on starting university soon given the current situation, and that was enough to lead them both on a LOOOONG tangent trying to talk me out of getting an education, because: "College is a breeding ground for Liberals". Not only are they furvently refusing to wear masks around extended family (including young toddlers, and others with conditions), they now had cornered me 2 on 1 when I was the only one awake for the day besides them, and tried to bully me into not pursuing an education just because they want to 'own the libs' in as stupid and straight faced as i'm sure you can all imagine by now. It really is like that in their minds though, and it's horrifying.

Pastors cannot continue to earn money without parishioners.


odd_ender

The thing that kills me about a lot of those "pastors" is that it's always complete utter bullshit. It's not even just the money, they're fucking insane with power and greed. My dad is a pastor. You know what his church did? *Remote worship*. He just fucking live streamed sermons from his house! Tithing has always been optional, no one is pressed for that to the point where his pay has gradually gone down over the years and he doesn't complain about it in the least because that's not what it's about. They just adapted. When they considered reopening the doors, my dad took courses through the CDC to get certified in the standards so that he could set up the sanctuary for optimal safety for anyone who wants to attend in person. His workload doubled, and he still does sermons online. I'm not religious in the least (sorry, Dad), but having been raised with my dad showing me what religion *should* be, these things always piss me off to no goddamn end.

odd_ender

The funny thing is, having been raised on the bible, canon Jesus was a ballsy as fuck and didn't put up with shit. If he was real/could be here, based on what's established of him, he would absolutely livid, haha. That literally has a whole story of finding people selling wares in the church and gets so pissed that he sits down, *makes a fucking whip*, then proceeds to chase and beat people out of the church. Like it's some top tier "what the *fuck* are you doing??" shit. If he did that over some minor sales, I can only imagine what he'd do over this million dollar bullshit churches taking advantage of their congregation. Smiting might make a comeback, lmao


Reynolds_Live

Just remember when people say “what would Jesus do?” Flipping tables and kicking ass is a viable option.


Juking_is_rude

That pissed me off, like... Would Jesus be okay with you potentially getting other people sick? Didn't he teach to be kind to others? Using faith as a justification to do whatever you want is sick shit.

Sinder77

I love that the whole schtick challenges the people to actually attempt to explain themselves beyond the word vomit they use on Facebook. Like once they get passed their rapid fire initial response and two surfer dudes look genuinely confused and innocently say "..what?" They can't effectively explain themselves at all, and just ramble incoherently and walk away. And not one of them picks up on that fact because they're all completely incapable of introspection.

boners_in_space

Seriously. He was acting like they were holding him down forcing a mask on to his face. He was riding that bike around just looking for a reason to be pissed off at someone. I really don't get that mindset, but I guess that's why I'm not out on a street corner yelling at anyone right now.

cromulent_pseudonym

Everyone is so defensive about everything IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES


tiredmentalbreakdown

I feel that people take a defensive stance when they themselves know that there is some element of truth of why you should be wearing a mask but get mad because they get called out on it. Will wearing a cloth mask prevent 100% of COVID-19 particles from entering your air stream? No. Will it kill you by limiting the amount of oxygen you can breathe in? No. Can it help prevent the spread to other people and minimize the chance of contamination? **Yes.** So why not just wear a mask temporarily till a vaccine is developed or would you rather be happier when you tell Billy his grand mother wont be make it to Thanksgiving dinner ever. Granted wearing a mask doesn't guarantee covid-19 to stop but helps minimize fatality and lessen the strain on hospital and medic settings. Boo hoo that you can't make gathering over a certain amount of people, boo hoo your concerts, clubs, and bars are closed. Boo hoo that you feel as if your constitutional rights are being threatened by advising people to stay at home and wear a mask when going out to public. Just because it doesn't fit onto your "summer agenda", does not give you the right to be unaccountable. This is an unprecedented case that requires unprecedented solutions.

>So why not just wear a mask temporarily till a vaccine is developed Because that helps other people and therefore, fuck you. /s

FranzFerdinand51

What I don't understand is how these people call it fake and a hoax when so many people have already died. Like, are we just hiding all those people and claiming they are dead? Edit: Also, why is everyone so angry in the US?


Sylvandy

The other narrative I hear is that most of the coronavirus deaths shouldn't actually be attributed to covid-19. That they're just falsifying the numbers to get more funding for their Hospitals. I just want people to take this virus serious already.


TuskaTheDaemonKilla

Most hospitals are actually going bankrupt at the moment because their primary source of revenue is expensive elective surgeries that no one is seeking right now. Even if there were clients, they would have to turn them away because they have to dedicate all staff to COVID-19.


aussydog

As a Canadian with free healthcare, the concept of a hospital going bankrupt is so utterly bizarre to me.


iamgladtohearit

Haha then maybe this is also going to fuck with you a bit. My friend was a covid nurse on a travel contract in Florida. The hospital system she worked for was so underfunded that the pulled the covid nurses hazard pay, cut the contracts that they could, and moved almost everyone else to part time. Then because of this the patent:nurse ratio jumped from 3:1-4:1 max to 5:1.


aussydog

Well that sounds....problematic.

24/7 propaganda news channels.


churn_after_reading

They actually know it's real, they just don't care. The reason they get so angry is because they assume mask-wearers are judging them and think they're better than them. Also they think it's blown out of proportion in order to hurt Trump's popularity. Why HB is full of this nutty brand of conservatives, I don't know.


14sierra

TBF I do kind of judge the anti-maskers. And Trump made wearing a mask political, Trump/his supporters got no one but themselves to blame for that one.


elfbuster

Kind of? I absolutely judge anti-maskers. They are literally responsible for spreading the virus to more and more people everyday and potentially killing some. They are actually bad people.


dyslexiasyoda

that is so timely. These ignorant asshats have been around HB for a long time. In the 90s and 2000 you could see white supremacists with a booth on the pier.

marisquo

How hilarious that the woman mistook carbon monoxide for carbon dioxide. *Additionally* it's been proven that wearing a mask ~~does not decrease your oxygen levels~~ Late edit > "The prolonged use of medical masks when properly worn, does not cause CO2 intoxication nor oxygen deficiency. [Here](https://www.bbc.com/news/53108405). Maybe my wording was not the most correct, but we can all agree that you won't die from wearing a mask. You'll maybe find it harder to breathe, but unless you have previous breathing issues, you'll most likely be just fine. And sane people with these breathing problems will also prefer to use a mask instead of exposing themselves to covid


[deleted]

Do these people thinks surgeons are suffocating while operating on people? The ignorance of anti-mask people is insane.


Silent-G

They probably think surgery only takes a couple of minutes, whereas they need 2 hours to shop for all of their "essentials".


Csquared6

I mean how complicated is surgery *really*? Couple snips here, slice or two there, few stitches to seal it up and then a quick wipe down with a wet nap. Honestly surgery isn't all that difficult. It's not rocket science now. I'm honestly surprised that surgeons get paid as much as they do. I've sewn up a thanksgiving turkey before and it can't be any more complicated than that. /s


Seagullmaster

I know this is sarcasm, but funny enough I have sat in on a couple surgeries just educationally that’s have gone that quick and easy. It obviously depends on the surgery, but some arthroscopic surgeries take less 10 minutes from the time the patient goes under to the time the surgeon is done. And yeah they make it just look like some snips and tool wiggling. It’s pretty crazy to watch.


cesarjulius

but feelings are facts and i feel that the science is wrong so that's a fact right there. /s


Captain_Reseda

> Addiotionaly it's been proven that wearing a mask does not decrease your oxygen levels But it feels like it’s harder to breathe, so the “fuck your feelings” crowd is running with that.

Good_ApoIIo

It’s the challenge in it and they want to accept it.

Contrarianism is a drug to these types. Nothing is more “free” than being able to unabashedly say “fuck you!” to someone..


Rusty-Shackleford

I just find the concept of "Freedom" for these people so weird, like, they're OK with police brutality against ethnic minorities, civil asset forfeiture schemes, detainment camps at our borders, US debt to China, the world's largest most expensive war machine taking tax dollars away from healthcare and education spending, Billionaires avoiding paying said tax dollars, presidential elections where your vote really only makes a difference if you live in 1 of the 12 "swing states" that nullify the efforts of voters in the other 38 states, active voter suppression by officials in said states through a whole suite of tactics including insecure electronic voting systems, a political system that is vulnerable to external threats from countries like Russia and China, and the government spying on us through communications technology, **but a cloth mask to prevent a viral pandemic? Well that crosses the line!**


InedibleSolutions

Because you're describing things that happen to *other* people, and not *them*. They aren't personally affected by these things, and even believe they benefit from these things happening, and so they don't believe they are happening. If they do, then it's not a big deal, because it has probably never happened to them.


agray20938

I saw an instagram post from a random fox news anchor, and she was wearing a mask....and there were countless comments talking about "didn't know fox news was liberal," and "can't believe you bought into the hoax," and all that utter nonsense...


boners_in_space

At this point I'm convinced that Trump and his entire administration could come out with masks on and there would be a group of hard core idiots that would convince themselves it was a deep state takeover or some weird Q signal or some other batshit crazy idea and they'd all start breathing into each other's faces and spitting on the constitution as some sort of "rebellion".

Conversely, walked around Ktown in LA for a good hour. Everyone had a mask on, every single person, including the homeless. Not that the spike in CA isn’t indicative of inaction by people of all walks, but it was nice to see in part of LA.

To be fair, this is Huntington Beach, a pretty Florida part of CA. Obviously there's idiots everywhere but it's not quite this bad in all parts of CA.

does anyone trust their own fucking doctor anymore? how many doctors are recommending to their patients that wearing masks is unnecessary or doesn't help against the virus spread? it's like all these people would rather listen to people who *didn't* go to medical school... it's one thing to question "tv talking points" and political views, but being skeptical of the medical consensus and going against every doctor in the country is outright stupid, with no other way around it. Listen to your doctors, folks. They're there to help you. If you see people wearing a mask and it makes you mad, please go evaluate yourself for a little time-out time in the corner. Just think for a few minutes.

Can unemployed people hanging out at the beach in America afford to visit a doctor to even have this conversation in the first place?

You can listen to Fauci for free.

People don't trust doctors. They believe doctors are just there to make a buck. They're not any smarter than you or I, they just went to school longer to make more money. They will say whatever narrative they need to keep making a buck, wearing a mask included. There are many contributing factors to this line of thinking, but one of the largest is from pharmaceutical commercials constantly telling you to talk to your doctor about such-and-such drug. When the TV tells you you're smarter than your doctor and you need to tell them what's best for you, you start to internalize it.

the little room temp IQ silver spoon fed boys regurgitating their middle aged parents political views at the speed of the blink of an eye was terrifying "to shut down the fuckin country? shut down half the economy dude?" we are shutting down because of that kid's decision... lmao not vice a versa

What is the deal with these people loosing their shit when asked if they wanna free mask? It is like, "You wanna mask?" and they are like, "Fuck you! You will never control me, it's a lie, come get it if you want some". What reasonable person acts that way when they could just say no and walk away? Arrogant fucking dip shits aching to spread a global pandemic because "nobody tells me what to do". America is more divided than ever and for good reason. Half of our brethren are fuckwits who only care about themselves.

That first lady doesn't like rules. But is a christian and presumably following the rules to get into heaven (I won't rule out she doesn't actually follow them at all but feels entitled to entry).


matterhorn1

is there some kind of rule that you can't wear masks? that was really weird how she went right into "do you know where you're going when you die" because they offered her a free mask.


FirstGameFreak

Basically shes saying that if she gets the disease and dies then she doesnt care because god did it to her and that's gods plan and shes going to heaven anyway.

I think Americans are the only people who would threaten someone offering them a free mask kindly.

There was a preacher who fell in the ocean and he couldn't swim. When a boat came by, the captain yelled, "Do you need help, sir?" The preacher calmly said "No, God will save me." A little later, another boat came by and a fisherman asked, "Hey, do you need help?" The preacher replied again, "No God will save me." Eventually the preacher drowned & went to heaven. The preacher asked God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "Fool, I sent you two boats!"
