The feed of news, culture, and social media is designed to create a never ending drip of negative emotions.
This primes a population for panic when a threat is presented which cannot be accurately assessed.
A portion of the population will do anything to relieve the stress.
They will latch onto whatever gives hope, even it is somewhat irrational.
When the more resilient portion of the population dares to point out the irrational nature of the the behaviors which bring hope, they are attacked by the less resilient portion.
This is because it again exposes the less resilient to the stress from which they have finally found relief.
Sadly, a large portion of the population would rather have relief from the stress of dealing with reality, at the cost of their freedom.
None of us are getting out of this life alive and intact.
If everyone were taught that lesson when young and taught not to fear it, they might develop a personal strategy to make the most of the time they are given.
A culture based on materialism and hedonism, lacking any enduring meaning, is ripe to be conquered and subjugated.

They wear them with cultish pride. The ones who wear them outdoors while exercising I find particularly humorous.

Make no mistakes my friend - these people are not stupid. These are people with Masters Degrees in the sciences. These are people with PHDs in a broad range of fields of study. These are the people teaching in American Universities. These are the people teaching in American high schools. These are the elementary school teachers that are encouraging young people to mutilate their genitalia.
These are even the people running our government.
They are not stupid.
They are malevolent - for sure - but they are not stupid.

Perhaps even more humorous and disturbing are the ones wearing them while driving in an enclosed vehicle by themselves.

Very true! And most of those same people would have stood around waiting to be allowed entry at COSTCO where an up wind sneeze or cough would have release the ' deadly' spray ' The Science' warned us about. Some of these very same people would likely turn you in to the EPA if you were scraping lead paint on a windy day.
And many of these same people believe Jim Jones was a mad man, and are stupefied how any parent would drink poison Koolaid let alone allow their children to ingest the toxic brew.
I find there are some parallels to the run up to the 2008 election when it seemed everywhere I turned someone was asking me "Have you read the book"......and they weren't talking about the Bible.

Saw a man pushing cart in Sam's yesterday with a young boy in the cart. The man was masked, the boy was not. They can't even see the stupidity of what they are doing.

Maybe they are wearing masks to prevent being inoculated by the new airborne vaccine...

Maybe the kid in the shopping cart is a young republican.
Betting odds are pretty good that the guy pushing the cart is a democrat though.
