When is Enough Enough?
Congratulations to all of those who've touting that useless emblem of obedience; mission accomplished for them, I guess!
35% of Japanese children keep wearing the mask because they don't want to show their face. This is a clear sign of mental illness. Congratulations to all of those who've been touting that useless emblem of obedience; mission accomplished for them, I guess!
Or is 35% perhaps not enough yet? Not enough suicides yet?
I urge you to read Guy Gin’s account of what has been done to Japan’s children.
I urge you to become as filled with rage as I was when I read this.
It makes me seethe to see how children around the world have been thrown under the bus over this stupid pandemic. I was talking to a woman the other day because she was at a meeting and had her little sausage dog with her. Apparently it's a "Lockdown Pup" and suffers from separation anxiety. She was very keen to tell me how traumatic the lockdowns and masked faces had been for the little dog. So it's OK to talk about the damage done to dogs during the last 3 years but not to children because all anyone ever says about children is "oh, kids are so resilient they just bounce back". That's after telling them they would kill their granny if they breathed on her and they couldn't go to school in case they killed the teachers. I can't think of a strong enough word for how it makes me feel.
Here in the UK I can make the personal (and completely "unscientific") observation that while out and about in such mundane settings as supermarkets the folk most likely to still be inflicting the face mask on themselves fall into three categories:
1. People of East Asian ethnicity, who have long been conditioned in China/Korea/Japan to accept face masks as "normal" for all sorts of reasons and who now feel more comfortable doing so in a western European country (we have lots of visiting Chinese students here);
2. Elderly people who have been scared to near witlessness by three years of "public health" propaganda; and
3. Young people in their late teens and twenties, who by their appearance in dress and hairstyles pride themselves on being part of some variegated subculture or other, Goth, Emo, Vegan, LGBTQABCDE or whatever.
Unfortunately the third group are by far the largest of the Forever Masked, and judging by the general demeanour (avoidance of eye contact, hunched shoulder shuffle) seem to be serious sufferers of what used to be called social anxiety. They reinforce this anxiety by hiding behind the mask. The sad thing is that the mask mandates made this acceptable, so we now have a vicious circle whereby young people who three years ago would have been deemed suffering from mental ill health (anyone remember the spike in mental illness the western world was so worried about before the Fashionable Disease edged everything else out of public consciousness?) are not just being pandered to but are actively having their mental health issues ingrained.
