Entitlement culture at its finest…

Masks are stupid. Who wants to walk around looking like a knuckle-dragging dumb-bum afraid of the freaking air? Not this bitch! I’m going to die bare-faced and breathing through my mouth like God intended! Not that I want to die. I don’t. I totally, totally don’t want to die! But when I do die (because I’m old and stuff, and NOT because some stupid supposedly “Super flu” killed me), that’s when I’ll die all bare-faced and shit. So that’s why I don’t want to wear a mask: because masks are stupid and who wants to die with a mask on their face?

You know what else was once considered “stupid”? Washing your hands! Hand washing used to be a thing people only did when they had to get something really gross (like poop? tobacco juice? the blood of their enemies? What was the threshold for “gross” back then, I wonder?) off their paws, or for cultural/religious purposes. It didn’t occur to Western doctors that hand-washing could save lives until a Hungarian physician named Ignaz Semmelweis
