Of course the rich don't need a mask.

The masks were always intended on being a mark of submission or servitude. The Powerful Elite can't be forced to actually see the faces of the poor and working class people ... that might humanize the poor. This would interfere with the wealthy elites' ability to make inhuman decisions that impact the lives and well-being.

OTOH, if the poor are nameless and FACELESS people, the wealthy can take the course of action that they please without being concerned with little things like a 'conscience' or 'morality'. Thus, they make the poor bastards wear masks. To conceal their faces. Not to protect people from a 'virus' that is extremely exaggerated.

We don't need people to be faceless. From the genocides in Rwanda or Burma or may other places, from Saddam Hussein gassing his own to Stalin.... the British, the Roman's, the good old USA. None had or needed masks to behave the way they did.

It's the very nature of our spices. No one race or country can claim otherwise. Those that due only add fuel to the fire.

I dont belive masks will change how those with power act. I believe masks are a weak and ultimately useless symbol of an attempt to try and control and uncontrollable situation.

Personally, my seasonings aren't genocidal

I like the classic salt and pepper, with a generous amount of garlic and a touch of onion.
