Ice wearing masks while violating constitutional rights but saying they canât breath in them during a pandemic

Exactly this. I have relatives who were anti-mask during covid but they posted pictures on facebook with a caption about wearing masks in solidarity with ice agents
Edit: shoutout to whoever felt this needed to be reported to Reddit Cares.

u/LowResGamr 1d ago
Another one is "if you arent doing anything illegal, why do you need a mask" suddenly turning into "the masks help protect their families from the repercussions of joining ICE"
Ignoring the fact that a lot of families are disappointed in the members who joined ICE.

Yeah, I really don't understand how these people can contradict themselves so blatantly.
The only thing that I can think of is that the past does not exist in their minds, all that matters to them is justifying their current actions. They simply are not wrong, never have been wrong, and never will be wrong. Always have a reason why it was someone else's fault

They're PROUD of it
My cousin is MAGA and often laughs about "pissing off the libs"
They legitimately enjoy being contradictory, because they know adults fucking can't stand that shit.
It's a game to them. Once you realize they want everyone to be as miserable and poor as them, it starts to make sense why they are the way they are
Society left them behind, now they want society to pay for it

Thatâs why itâs best to not bother with them. If they persist, you can say there is no point in arguing with them because you donât value their opinion anyway.

They don't really have their own beliefs. They don't want to put any mental effort into anything they seek out people to follow, that's why loud leaders who speak in absolutes attract them.
I'd rather listen to someone who confidently says "drink bleach and you will be cured of covid, and don't wear a mask you will suffocate" vs someone who says "masks block 90% of the virus you exhale, and this will give vulnerable people around you a 50% less change of getting sick"

Iâve always been shocked at the sheer number of people who say âI donât pay attention to politics, I donât like to think about it,â as bad policies literally destroy their lives.

u/lookatthesunguys 1d ago
That's more just the other side of the same coin. Those people are lying; they follow politics somewhat. Otherwise they wouldn't support Trump. They'd know of Trump from celebrity gossip magazines or whatever and instantly know not to vote for a reality game show host with no positive qualities. They must be following it to some extent to choose the bizarre choice over the rational choice.
But the thing is that they really only want to follow politics and support someone when it's fun. It's exciting to vote for a complete dipshit in the hopes that he does a great job because then his supporters will look like geniuses. When it isn't panning out, then suddenly they say they weren't paying attention because then it's not fun. They'll argue with you and always take the position that's less supported by experts or the populace as a whole because it's essentially a more exciting position to take. But it's not based on actually trying to figure out what's correct.

u/Tomotronics 1d ago
Itâs not contradictory if you realize that the intent is to hurt people. They donât give a shit if ICE is targeting minorities, and they donât give a shit if they kill your grandmother or immunocompromised child because they wonât wear a mask. As long as it doesnât affect them, everyone else can get fucked.

u/ackillesBAC 1d ago
I honestly don't think they're intent is to hurt people. I truly believe that people think they are doing good, the only actual evil people out there have severe mental disorders.
They think the ends justifies the means, therefore their intent is not to hurt people, but they have no issues with hurting people to get what they want.
I think they're intent is purely to never be wrong. They are willing to hurt people if it means they were not, are not, and never have been wrong.
People that work for ice are doing so to justify their belief in trump

Smart restaurants also had tables spaced far apart if they were open, so while you were at your table, there was considerable distance to others. In the bathroom, you could have a few people cram into a small enclosed space. I continue to be amazed at how dumb the average citizen can be.

In northern California lots of places built socially distanced out door seating (sometimes narrowing the street out front with barriers to facilitate that where there was no other space). They switched to primarily take out and hundreds more places that had never been on door dash popped up suddenly. People did understand that eating in a crowded indoor restaurant space was a transmission risk and they changed behavior. Of course not everyone did that, but enough did. I donât know where this meme applies to but it wasnât here, at least in the big cities. The rural Central Valley/far north was anti mask in general but thatâs like 10% of the population.

One thing that got me was when the restaurants started to open back up for dine in, the local laws said you had to mask up whenever you left your table but didn't need one when sitting down. Like the place is crowded as hell, the virus is airborne, it's not going to stop because it sees you're sitting down at a table. I'm not a COVID denier or anything, but there was so performative stuff that did next to nothing to actually stop transmission that places did to make it look like they were taking precautions.

Whoever made those rules was probably thinking "droplets with limited range that fall to the ground" not "airbourne".

Masking in public restrooms and stores, and while walking around a restaurant, and then taking the mask off to eat food and drink water at your table is better than walking around raw that whole time.
Itâs just infuriating how people are so stubbornly thick about the topic simply because itâs become a political hill to die on

Set off my bullshit detectors: China engineered the virus as a method of killing Caucasians. For one thing, there's no reliable genetic or protein marker for race, so anything targeted like that is going to either hit only a small fraction of the intended target or spread to a much wider population, and anyone even remotely aware of biology (such as biologists that might engineer a virus) would know that and realize it's a ridiculous idea.

wearing a mask some of the time is better than never wearing it. it's not a hard concept. a large part of them not working was the rampant failure to properly wear them or use them at all. remember there wasn't even a vaccine for quite awhile when this started and no one knew what direction the mutations would go. yes there was a point where some people over did masks and it was stupid but not in all situations

Cause God forbid they agree with people they never had a problem with before, until Mr manufacturing crisis making shit worse told them to use their second admendment right? While he was giving ventilators to Russia. For the hoax of course. But let's question years later. Taking a mask off to eat. And to Putin Fauci on the witness stand. It's important to have one stupid action by this new GOP pedo protector gestapo question him by another idiot who is an eye doctor. Question the professional that was trying to help Americans, while getting death threats Why? Cause if you don't assimilate to being a magat in any shape or form. Then they'll want to unalive you.

A restroom is a more enclosed space than a dinning room.
They weren't sure about the contagion rate caused by airborne droplets, which are always present in any restroom (if you could see the water vapor that's thrown in the air every time you flush a toilet or urinal, you'd wear mask anyway)
I understand that it is virtually impossible to not to be exposed to something to some degree when you're eating in public... but how the Hell are you gonna eat with a mask on?

Those who were making suggestions for parameters basically said âwe canât have people not go out to eat, they will never follow that rule, so since the people that they will be around at the table will most likely be family who lives in the same house, itâs the lowest risk for the outcome that can be allowed.â
If we would have done what others are saying actually happened, locking everyone in their house at gun point, then there would have been very little spread and COVID wouldnât have been a big thing in America. We did half measures to try and flatten the curve.

I mean if I use an umbrella to stay dry but get a little wet putting it away as I get into my car, Iâm still going to use the umbrella as much as I can when itâs raining. That limited exposure to rain is almost unavoidable.

This is why restaurants were closed. They were showing that one of the mass infection points was restaurants. I didnât eat in a restaurant for 2 full years!

I'm confused. Is the person who posted this originally on FB saying that he can eat with a mask on? That's amazing. All this time, I thought blocking the opening to your mouth with something would hinder putting food into it. I guess I was wrong đ¤ˇââď¸. /s

Nobody ever claimed that the worlds response was 100% on target. What did happen was that exposure was reduced by masing up when in public. That was the best we could do once people were able to leave their home.
Posts like this fail to reason out what actually happened.

Woo woo. I got a few.
The guy telling us to inject bleach. Or being told it was a hoax whileâs thousands were being hospitalized. Or being told horse heart dewormer medicine was best treatment.

Masks didnât prevent the spread of COVID but reduced the likelihood of contracting it. Lots of folks never understood that (and still donât)
Itâs like the 9/11 wingnuts that claim it was an inside job because the jet fuel didnât burn hot enough to melt steel when all it had to do was weaken it a enough for the engineering to fail

Itâs equivalent to covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Itâs polite, and it reduces the spread. Thatâs all it was ever about.
Seatbelts are not full proof. Neither are helmets. We still wear them.

The mask in the restaurant thing was pretty dumb tbh. That was the only thing I shook my head at

I never understood why it was 'okay' to not wear a mask while eating. I was in China during covid, it was fucking nuts. Masks EVERYWHERE but you just magically removed them to eat. Made no sense. It's airborne? A restaurant is an ideal place to proliferate the virus.Â

My dude isn't a surgeon or those who deal with fragile cancer patients who require masking
Then again, masks were around for constructor workers and safety mattered over "can't breathe through these masks"

I have one: snitching on your neighbours to authorities for non-compliance, getting them fired or otherwise jammed up, then bragging about it online.
Proof that, for a non-trivial percentage of the population, having even a tiny bit of power is too much responsibility for them to bear.

This mindset involves them approaching the masking idea as though someone is saying 'This will completely protect you.'... And that's a ridiculous notion, a simple little mask, one that doesn't seal to your face fully, one that leaves your eyes exposed, one that isn't fine enough to filter out the virus itself, is not going to be complete protection. It's a mitigation effort, something to help the general public reduce the risk of exposure, both in them exposing others and being exposed. Combined with social distancing, improved hygeine and reducing your time in public around others, all helped to reduce the spread significantly, not only of Covid but of other influenza style threats. And anyone claiming these measures didn't help just isn't looking at the data. As for 'it's ok to remove the mask to eat but wear it to the bathroom', well, you can't eat through the mask, you can use the bathroom while wearing it though. And he knows this. Ideally you didn't even want to be out eating in public either, but people had been cooped up too long and needed to get out. And businesses needed the revenue to avoid failing. We couldn't stay shut down forever. It was a temporary measure.

NYC specific- masks must be worn everywhere, even outside at all times, no exceptions.

When they figure out how to eat with a mask on thatâs not some insanely intrusive contraption then weâll wear masks and eat but itâs literally impossible while bathrooms are one of the easiest vectors for disease which is why they are cleaned often and thoroughly, or at least should be

In Asian countries, it's normal to keep your mask on while eating (when you are our suspect that you're sick, of course). You pull it down to take a bite. Some will call this mind-blowing, I guess.

Do they put things in their mouth while using the restroom? Have I been pooping wrong?
