This is why I welcome the coming global ecological apocalypse. We deserve it.

Don't include my country in this, it's shitty but not as shitty as yours.

Alpha71 ,

You may think that, but trust me, you're wrong.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Sounds like something someone from the shittiest country on earth would assume

Alpha71 ,

Canada?

Allero ,

We don't. They do. But climate is one for us all, so let's go and beat the shit out of them.

More evidence of nihilistic government. Can em ban em afghanistan em

ILikeBoobies ,

Does that apply to surgeons?

ilinamorato ,

They're probably not considered "in public."

    I'm following too. This vinegary vaginal lavage showed up four days ago, spread a thin layer of their personal brand of idiocy everywhere, and has now disappeared. Maybe they've fucked off back to some dark hole on Reddit? We can only hope.

    Someone will just have to start a religion where masking in public is one of the purity rites for the devout. Better yet, join their religion first and schism another denomination off it due to the doctrinal demand for the ritual mask of purity. Then, they'll have to acknowledge its "legitimacy."

    sebinspace ,

    Oh you sweet summer child, freedom of religion is only for christians

    HawlSera ,

    Then make a branch of Christianity that involves mask wearing

    notfromhere ,

    It’s called the KKK

    HawlSera ,

    The KKK actually persecuted many branches of Christianity including Catholicism and Mormonism, and burned down black churches.

    My little niece just turned 19. Weeks before her birthday, she was diagnosed with cancer and is currently going through chemo.

    These people can go to hell if they think they can put her even more at risk because of whatever shitty agenda they're pushing.

    Party of freedom.... fuck you, fucking fascists.

    Churbleyimyam ,

    I'm really sorry to hear that. Wishing the best for your neice

    Thank you. She's an incredibly talented writer and ridiculously creative, thoughtful, & kind. She was only just starting to live her life independently, and it was ripped away from her with the diagnosis.

    We need to advocate for those who struggle to / are unable to do so for themselves.

    I'm severely immunocompromised. Let them try and get the mask off my face. I'd prefer to hit them with my cane, but in all honestly, it would be more effective to sue them on federal ADA violations.

    Hopefully this doesn't spread. My partner already has a difficult time going into public because she's highly allergic to a very common ingredient that's in practically everything.

    notfromhere ,

    Is it sugar?

    KroninJ ,
    @KroninJ@lemmy.world avatar

    It's a fruit. They have an anaphylactic reaction when coming in contact with it or breathing in the fumes from products.

    FreakinSteve ,

    Ever since I left NC it has become the most fucked up bunch of deranged retards (oh, excuse me, deranged "mentally challenged" 🙄 ) and I am NOT going back to fix it.
    This is what nonstop, unchallenged radical fascist radio causes, and every shitlib here is still gonna defend it as "free speech".

    vivavideri ,

    It's a shame, really. There's so much good there, and so much that I miss, but the gop wholeass hijacked the whole state.

    3volver ,

    Banning masks is authoritarian fascist shit, especially masks that protect you from spreading contagious illnesses. Ridiculous, one year we're all told we need to wear masks to protect one another, next year we're told that it's illegal? Fuck off government, fuck off.

    CosmicTurtle0 ,

    These are the same people who argued that forcing people to wear masks is fascism.

    You literally can't make this shit up.

    In one case it was experts trying to save lives. In the other it's white nationalist christofascists virtue signaling to their crushingly ignorant base.

    There are active KKK chapters in NC. There is also a Proud Boys presence here (they're known to wear masks).

    I wonder, will they be exempt from this? (I know the answer, of course. Republicans will protect their own.)

    HWK_290 ,

    My exact thought: surely they'll be prosecuted under this law, right? Right?

    gerbler ,

    Some of those that work forces...

    conditional_soup ,

    This was actually discussed. The bill makes an exception for "members of a secret society demonstrating in public" as long as they get a permit from the police first.

    Ultraviolet ,

    Of course. Good thing those that work forces and those that burn crosses are two entirely different groups and totally do not overlap.

    conditional_soup ,

    I was going to make a remark about how getting a permit must be really convenient, since you don't even need to leave the office.

    HawlSera ,

    That is a weirdly specific phrasing

    obviouspornalt ,

    Do you have a source for this? I really wanted to make some snarky posts pointing this out, but couldn't find mention of it in the summary of changes proposed by the bill:

    https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewDocSiteFile/87480

    conditional_soup ,

    It's on the first page of the bill and runs into the second page if you open the full document.

    "You boys better not have no n95s under them hoods?"

    ChonkyOwlbear ,

    That's fine. Wearing a mask is now a political statement which is protected free speech.

    Daft_ish ,

    Sorry, money is speech. Now pay up.

    Dendr0 ,

    "For health reasons" - if that's what they choose to enforce, well then... looks like every day just became Halloween.

    "No officer, Im not wearing this Ronald Reagan mask for my health, I'm celebrating Halloween" "Yes, officer, in May".

    NovaPrime ,
    @NovaPrime@lemmy.ml avatar

    Yeah, ok, good luck enforcing that

    GluWu ,

    They will, they will make hundreds, maybe thousands of arrests knowing full well its unconstitutional. But it'll take a year or two to work through courts at which point the courts will be completely controlled by Project 2025 magats.

    NovaPrime ,
    @NovaPrime@lemmy.ml avatar

    Disagree. Even if this goes through, it reads more like a liability waiver: it's power is more in the chilling effect vs. actual teeth in enforcement

    grasshopper_mouse ,
    @grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world avatar

    Would this include airplanes flying into NC? Like, if I have a layover in Charlotte and I'm only gonna be at the airport a few hours, I can't wear a mask on the plane to Charlotte, or at the Charlotte airport? I know planes are owned by the airlines so they're not "public", but what about inside an airport?

    RandomStickman ,
    @RandomStickman@kbin.run avatar

    I can only speak from an international perspective but I've taken a plane from Canada through USA a few years ago. During that time Canada had a mask mandate so all of us have to keep our mask on from the airport all the way to boarding. However, once the cabin door closes, apparently, that's when American law kicks in. The mask mandate is lifted according to US law. Maybe US state laws work similarly?
