Why do Redditors make fun of the 'security theatre' of the TSA but lose their shit over people not wearing a thin piece of cloth over their face?

I hate having to bring out the man peeing analogy multiple times, but here it is again - if a man is peeing without underwear and you are standing near him, you will get wet, even if you're wearing pants. If a man is peeing and wearing underpants even if you're standing near him without clothes on, you'll probably be okay. That's what a mask does - protects others. I think it's worth the slight inconvenience in order to protect others from a disease which is more than its mortality rate - it's also the people who are getting permanent lung, brain and organ damage from it or spending weeks and months in the hospital racking up huge medical debt. I'm wearing a mask for you and your family. Please consider doing so for me and mine.

Everything you say is just pure opinion. It is about as dangerous as Influenza, and all those times you had a severe cold or flu...You didn't give a damn about wearing a mask or other preventative measures. Pure hive mind virtue signaling on your part because it's socially popular to be a boot licker.

I make it a point to not wear a mask and I stand very close to other people. I hope you get so scared of the boogeyman man virus that you pee yourself.

I laughed. ;]

I wish that sentence and its context could fit on a bumper sticker

Thanks, I had a laugh writing it too.
