    It’s the very same attitude that antivaxxers express, which likely at least partially explains the affinity between antivaxxers and antimaskers.https://twitter.com/ENirenberg/status/1388309339492978688 …

    It will never be okay with or make sense to me that in questions about masking so many people's first instincts amounted to "My desire not to wear a mask matters more than someone else's safety."

        It’s truly disheartening to hear people say, that of people are at high risk they should stay at home 24/7. That it’s selfish of them to want other people to wear masks. 1/2

        Something heard frequently from right-wing, libertarian, ‘humanistic’ ‘skeptic’ atheist’s activist. Who while doing good work raising money to help atheist in countries where they are at serious risk. Nevertheless thinks wearing a mask is too much.

        They are the same people. It is part of a deeply ingrained rejection of the uncertainties of the Age of Reason, the Enlightenment and Modernity itself. That’s also why all these people make easy bedfellows with right wing politics and religious extremism. 1/2

        Modernity is uncomfortable. It overturns basic human tendencies to revert to tribalism and being led by a king or chieftain connected with a priest or shaman - the truly totalitarian existence which defines most of human civilization’s history.

        They’re a very “live and let die” kind of people.
