What's behind mask madness?

 Right-thinking people—in this corrupt day and age taken to mean people with left wing minds—have given little thought to why anyone could ever dare disagree with them about anything at all.  These correct-thinking (perhaps a better word choice) people think that the rest of us are either deplorable or evil, depending on educational attainment; I’m evil and the assembly line operative is deplorable.  As deplorable evildoers, there is no need to consider any potential grievances or criticisms we might have.

On the face of it, wearing a mask is a trivial inconvenience with massive public health benefits.  So why, the keepers of correctness ask, does anyone hesitate to wear one for even a second, never mind make masking part of a doctrine that brings a mob to the Capitol?  This doctrine is real. The Washington Post interviewed participants in the Wednesday riot and led their report with a headline that read in part, “ … the rioters came from all over, angered by masks, lockdowns [sic] and the election”  From the second paragraph on, resentment of the mask mandates was a nearly universal theme among the rioters. wtf? (See Drawn by Trump, the rioters came from all over, angered by masks, lockdowns and the election. - The Washington Post. January 10.)

I think I actually touched on it yesterday without even realizing it.  In the short paragraph about “not simple bigotry” I mentioned a concept of “pandemic social engineering.”  The mask mandate is the central pillar, the kingpost, of that engineering and it was just one micro-aggression too much.  Someone in the madness business once noted that it isn’t usually a major catastrophe that send folks to the asylum, it’s just that one more broken shoelace.

Our cultural commissars, the long-oppressed leftists now rising to power, have broken a lot of shoelaces among those they term deplorable.  Don’t smoke inside. Don’t drink outside. Don’t own a truck. Don’t enjoy nascar.  Don’t work with your hands. Don’t follow President Obama’s advice to finish high school, get a job, and get married (within the species and across the genders) before you have children.  Don’t serve in the armed forces. Don’t use fertilizer on your farm. Don’t own a gun. Don’t go hunting. Only go fishing if you catch and release.  The job you used to have was deplorable, so suck it up and move along. Wear a mask. 

I’m not sure at all, but you have to wonder if  “wear the damned mask” isn’t that last damned broken bootlace south of the Potomac or west of Deep Creek Lake.
