They know, they don't care.
American individualist propaganda has a load of people believing they're free to do whatever the fuck they like, and fuck anyone who tries to stop them.
Selflessness is a rejected concept to them, they will never productively participate in a community of people.
Individualism for me, fashion police for you!
if only there was some sort of word for a political movement that weaponized the trappings of individual liberties in the name of killing marginalized people. i do nazi myself thinking of one
damn you just made some gears spin in my head
I think capitalism promotes "individualism" because the alternative is selflessness which means more money spent for the greater good of society
It took a long time, but one day, the term "human capital" finally clicked in my head and I couldn't stop mulling it over until I realized how insanely fucked up it is. What are the humans? Capital. What is the capital? Humans. Human. Capital. And we're so blase about it.
Individual rights and selfishness are orthogonal. The idea that the only bad actions are illegal ones is the issue. We want to use laws to enforce ethics instead of community.
Whatever the fuck I like includes wearing masks. Also dresses. Fight me.
Stop talking about selflessness, start talking about selfishness, because wearing a mask is perfectly selfish. Yes it's selfless, too, of course. But not wearing one isn't selfish, it's just dumb. If they were competent and proactive at selfishness they'd be aggressively demanding that everybody wear masks.
Seems like you could get this shit struck down by challenging it in court based on the ADA
not with republican filled courts lol
