The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

[Хahar 🤔]

This forum has turned into such a far-left extremist bubble that the majority of this community is not timid anymore about despising human dignity and rejecting facts and statistics that don't support their world view. In other words: Atlas has transformed into the woke equivalent of the QAnon/Querdenker bubble.

Didn't you say you were going to leave?

As ever, arguing with Computer89 is futile because there is no indication that he is even able to comprehend the points you make.

Come on, NewYorkExpress posts hardly count.

Camp 3 still. It's really sad and bizarre how masks have somehow become a crazy radical concept to so many people.

In all seriousness (although my point about mosh pits is not a joke, banning mosh pits like Scarlet wants to effectively do* would be a pretty serious detriment to my life and enjoyment of things in general), the biggest issue I have with continued masking advocates is their main argument seems to be "it's not a big deal" which is not a valid argument. You could use the same logic to argue that mandatory hijabs is also not a big deal since it's almost the exact same thing (if anything a hijab is less invasive for reasons I'll get to in a bit), and thus if some hypothetical Muslim majority municipality or somewhere in Erdogan's Turkey tried to mandate hijabs we should all just shrug and at most say "Well I don't support this but it's really not a big deal, who cares." So if you think mandatory hijabs are never OK, then you can't argue for masks on those grounds.

What’s the problem here?

The comparison of being forced to follow religious precepts to wearing a mask to avoid spreading germs

The analogy made here is slightly different than the one I made originally, which was to the niqab, but in any case as a Muslim I find mask mandates offensive for the same reason that I find niqabs offensive.

This shows why this thread is such a bad idea. If you disagree with a post, reply and say why instead of putting it in this thread without comment.

Canadian Tories looked at ScoMo redbaiting China then losing ~5 seats because of Chinese swings to ALP and figured it was a good idea for them to try it? If you openly antagonise the PRC government and enable anti-asian xenophobia don’t be surprised when the Chinese diaspora turns against you!

You already replied to that post. You don't need to also put it here.
