I say it every day: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!
We have those assholes to thank for this... Gotta keep Republican voters, what better way than to make them frothing with rage at whatever Democrats suggest we do...
On the flip side, this is precisely why I say .ml needs to be dealt with swiftly. They protect hexbears, and hexbears openly state that they are engaged in information warfare with the rest of the fediverse. They are literally over here protecting right wing propagandists and everyone is like "well ok just don't click on their shit if you don't want to see it."
Yeah, I'm not worried about myself falling for this nonsense. I'm worried about my family and coworkers doing shit like this because they are taking the internet seriously.
Huh??
I share your hatred but that likely isn't what is happening here.
Put simply, someone fucked up. At an airport, the competing concerns of health and security are in their most extreme tension. For some reason, someone on staff skewed security when they should have skewed health.
There is no excuse for it, and guaranteed it has already been resolved or soon will be. This is in one of the busiest international airports in the world, and masks are still very common in air travel, particularly from countries like Japan - and I believe this restaurant is even in the terminal that ANA flies into. Restaurants simply cannot afford rent if they intentionally impose restrictions like that on their customers.
