Imagine being born in 1900! How soft is the modern world that we complain about wearing a mask?

Imagine you were born in 1900.

When you're 14, World War I begins and ends when you're 18 with 22 million dead.

Soon after a global pandemic, the Spanish Flu, appears, killing 50 million people. And you're alive and 20 years old.

When you're 29 you survive the global economic crisis that started with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and famine.

When you're 33 years old the nazis come to power.

When you're 39, World War II begins and ends when you're 45 years old with a 60 million dead. In the Holocaust 6 million Jews die.

When you're 52, the Korean War begins.
When you're 64, the Vietnam War begins and ends when you're 75.

A child born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, but they have survived several wars and catastrophes.

Today we have all the comforts in a new world, amid a new pandemic. But we complain because we need to wear masks. We complain because we must stay confined to our homes where we have food, electricity, running water, wifi, even Netflix! None of that existed back in the day. But humanity survived those circumstances and never lost their joy of living.

My grand mother was born in 1903 . She was living until 2013 . I always wanted to be like her because even though she never learned how to drive, she reminded me of the hotrodding grandmother in the song Little Old Lady From Pasadena . I used to tease her about being older than the airplane.

My father was born in 1895 before there were cars or airplanes. He lost a leg in the last few days of WW1. Before he passed he saw men on the moon.

I wonder if the government leaders back then were as prone to deceiving the people as ours are today.

It happened. The streets of our cities and towns are often named after complete scoundrels and con men.

I imagine that some of them got away with more than they do today just because we have access to more information then people did back then through laws such as the Freedom of Information Act.

This is why so many people do not trust the government. I would winner that a million times if I could.

Which is a pro to all this information and also makes people less likely to trust the government. In fact that people I have seen/know that do not wear masks and are not supportive of the mandates have little to no problem doing it if asked to by a private business or even family in some cases.

My father had to crawl to and from school in the snow. It was uphill both ways. He used to have his coffee without cream, or sugar, or coffee. He used to dream of living in a corridor.

I wonder what everyone will say when we wake up...and realize we lost the above to the marxist movement sweeping across this country?

What the rioters are doing to the statues is what they want to do to you.

Do the mask work as well as they tell you they do? The answer is no. In fact many people feel enbolden wearing a mask...I'm safe.

But why are we wearing mask? 'Cause of what the Chinese did to the world.
Do we need to wear mask? No. People are shaming one another into wearing mask. Don't you love people? If you did you would wear a mask.

Of course the virus can't and doesn't spread in a protest. Ask CNN. Just don't go to church.

The pandamic...plandemic...scamdemic...is nothing more than a trumped up virus that for a major majority of the time effects older people with underlying issues. Almost half and in some states more than half died in nursing homes.

The socialist leaning marxist democrats got what they want...a lockdown....and they want to keep us there. Pump up the numbers with un-proven test. Pay the hospitals for each case and even more for each death.

The democratic party is trying to seize power...They have help.

But, thanks for the history review. It was interesting. I wonder what they will say about the globalist grab of the USA in future history reviews.

But, make sure you wear your leaky mask.....Oh, one more thing, what do you do about your eyes? They're also exposed to the virus.

. This isn’t like a bad cold .Yes,please wear your mask! And do without the neurological and gastrointestinal problems . Do without the blood clots caused by the virus that cause strokes ,heart attacks and amputations . Wear that mask and do without the organ system failures . You’re correct, you do have a choice of being dead, a cripple or a live person with funny tan lines on their face. Hint hint go for the funny tan lines!

What we allow to be done to "the least" of our citizens is what will be done to us. That is historic, not an opinion.

The paradigm shift in American ideology is nothing compared to the way we have willing let our prejudices and disdain for other American citizens be used against us to destabilize the nation. It shouldn't be this easy to collapse a superpower.


It's not that easy...the current insurrection is well planned.

Where did CHAD get their weapons? the AR-15's??? The guns were pre-placed.

The un-rest was planned....But, please wear your mask...Fauci said too.

Wearing a mask?

Many of us recognized this problem when people started crying about their imaginary genders and people not respecting their "safe spaces".

So you're happy to not discuss a specific instance of government fraud let alone all the corporate fraud and anti-competitive behaviour we see (hello Enron? Tip of the iceberg) and just perpetuate that the government shouldn't tell us to wear masks?
You're at 54000 new cases per day.
It's a national emergency.
If the government can't tell you to wear face masks now, why even have a government? Why even pretend to have the rule of law? Just do what you want. Total anarchy? What - someone might get hurt? Umm... that's the whole point - but it seems to have escaped you.
