is this under the assumption that this isn't the point? they're fascists, getting rid of disabled people is on brand and purposeful.

reminder that the party of "death panels will kill your grandma if anyone gets affordable healthcare" actively called for the death of grandmas when they didn't want to be inconvenienced by a piece of cloth over their mouth.

Banning masks only serves to increase the overreach of our surveillance state.

lets turn this around on them. they aren't banning masks... they're banning Halloween.

they're trying to cancel Halloween! what's next, Christmas?!

they aren’t banning masks… they’re banning Halloween.

I'm more than confident that the NYPD will make an exception for something that's lucrative to Big Business. The issue is that medical masks outside of one day in October aren't highly profitable, while CCTV cameras on every corner and AI facial recognition running across a thousand enormous data centers absolutely is.

Can't justify the enormous state investment in spying if these high profile assassinations demonstrate the holes in the system. So we just make masks illegal (except on the one day when it makes businesses money) and tell people with weak immune systems to eat shit.

Given the popularity of anti mask overlapping with fundamentalist they would ban Halloween. Possibility even Christmas as the only holiday we are authorized to celebrate is the Lord's Day, Sunday.
