As I have said many times now, there are children being raised on Maximum Health Fear, and there are children being raised to see Maximum Health Fear as a bizarre and harmful absurdity. Which set of children will be better adjusted to life ten years from now? We all know the answer. I think even many of the parents presently indulging in Maximum Health Fear actually know the answer.
Honestly this is pretty good. I mean it's silly making little kids wear masks but I only wish my kids had that kind of mettle in the face of authority. My kids have exemptions but they're still like 'but everyone else is wearing them'. I'd be overjoyed if they came home and said 'i told the teacher I wasn't going to do it because you said...'
But then again this kind of smells like a story that ends with 'and then everyone stood up and clapped'
Terribly depressing. I see children, as young and younger than two years old, masked to the eyeballs all the time here in NYC, especially in my brainwashed upscale neighborhood in Brooklyn. Last summer, on hot and humid days, it seemed the rule, not the exception, to see unmasked parents standing around as their tots played fully masked, apathetically riding their scooters in circles or running under the hot sun in the park. I never figured out what could possibly be going on in those parents' heads. Did they think they were protecting their children? Or were the children already so indoctrinated that they insisted on wearing them? I fear we have lost at least one generation to lowered intelligence, stunted emotional development, serious chronic illnesses, and unthinking political and social obedience. And that doesn't even count the children who will be killed and permanently disabled by the injections these same "well-educated" parents will inflict on them.
I hope they will only see masking as normal in certain places. All over the South, people have not worn masks as a religion in months, AFAIK. In NY and Cali, masks have maintained their talisman status, despite having no freaking value. What troubles me, and this might be a question we cannot answer, is how can almost the entire rest of the world "release" children from muzzles and yet, we in the States still hold them hostage?
I saw a bit but I do think it was mostly tourists (when you see them wearing them outside!). The difference in the south that the locals don't snarl at you if you don't have a mask on.. or jump out of their way to not be near you (mask or no mask) like I experienced in northern Virginia and the NE (where I used to live).
In fairness, during my last trip to Florida, I noticed the same thing. However, there is not a statewide mandate and I never put on a mask to enter a single store. Annoying, for certain, and for me, amazing that a worthless talisman remains so "sticky." So, I stand corrected, and like you, annoyed and somewhat depressed.
A lot of tourists in Florida, plus immuno-compromised old people. We travel to Key West every year and there are no masks down there, thank God. In Naples, you will see a few in the art and shopping districts unless things have radically changed. Oh, wait! I forgot! We went on a manatee cruise, outside, in a boat, AND we all had to mask up. I didn't want to comply but my husband really wanted to see manatees (???) and so I eventually wore their stupid, useless mask.
It is scary.. it's also scary how far left wing parents are convincing their kids to be pansexual or gender fluid. Scary.
That was the pre-COVID proof that some parents are, yes, absolutely willing to harm their own children to gain status within their subculture.
Well if far left is a heritable trait then this kind of behavior is going to severely limit its reproduction in the next generation

We need fearless children who will grow up to be fearless citizens.
In the dictionary next to Stockholm Syndrome, we will find a citation of this incident.
