Mask Mandates: "Diabolical Silliness"

The North Dakota legislature is one step closer to outlawing mask mandates calling them 'diabolical silliness'.

Indeed, what began as possibly as a 'harmless tool in the arsenal to stop the spread' has become a full blown psychosis. 

And because the bureaucracy is riddled with sociopaths and politicians exhibit classic traits of narcissism, they're all too prepared and ready to keep preying on people's fears. That goes for infectious disease doctors and physicians who are displaying a kind of misplaced God-complex demanding people are coerced into mouth amulets.

We're so pathetically arrogant and sadistically stupid we now have our children cowering in fear. 

This is psychological abuse under any other circumstance.

But stick nebulous phrases like 'for the greater good' and 'public health emergency' and we get to hide behind a grotesque masquerade of false virtue.

The narcissism laced with Stockholm Syndrome on display is something to behold.

Alas, I may as well blow against a hurricane. The stampede is in full motion now. We can but wait this hysteria out.

As Charles MacKay wrote 169 years ago in Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, "people go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.”

Indeed.

One by one we'll have to welcome them back.

As for the others, let natural selection sort them out.
