      Mask use has gone partisan, as was probably inevitable, but did it have to go so *stupidly* partisan, immediately? Right: “I’m not wearing one indoors or on airplane because Freedom.” Left: “I saw some *monster* jogging by herself in the suburbs not wearing a mask!”

      Fair enough but careful with the equivalence. The first position will get people killed, the second is simply being overzealous (which is annoying but not dangerous).

          The second deepens the spread and unshakeable self-righteousness of the first.

          Ah yes the constant illusion that there is an acceptable way to tell idiots things they don’t want to hear.

          In Cambridge we saw the emergence of supererogatory masking and mask-shaming about two months ago, in what seemed a direct response to the American Right's concurrent "open"/"liberate" rallies. State-level leadership has since calmed us. Lessons all 'round.

          Remember, it doesn't matter whose actually at fault as long as you blame both sides equally.

          In addition to being unequally bad, they're unequally prevelant. Mask opposition is being lead by the president and used as a governing principle in red states; overzealousness is a handful of annoying Instagram posts by some friends from college.

          Scolding people generally, but especially in a self-evidently inconsequential activity such as jogging alone causes those who might have been willing to use masks in high risk situations to rebel against what they view as mere liberal signaling and scolding.

          The two things that irks people the most about liberals are the signaling and the scolding, the left’s version of the Moral Majority crowd. Nothing drives people crazier than Oscar speeches, for example: the absolute worst display of empty liberalism.
