lets turn this around on them. they aren't banning masks... they're banning Halloween.

they aren’t banning masks… they’re banning Halloween.

I'm more than confident that the NYPD will make an exception for something that's lucrative to Big Business. The issue is that medical masks outside of one day in October aren't highly profitable, while CCTV cameras on every corner and AI facial recognition running across a thousand enormous data centers absolutely is.

Can't justify the enormous state investment in spying if these high profile assassinations demonstrate the holes in the system. So we just make masks illegal (except on the one day when it makes businesses money) and tell people with weak immune systems to eat shit.

I'll make an exception for police who aren't in my field of vision to live.

Given the popularity of anti mask overlapping with fundamentalist they would ban Halloween. Possibility even Christmas as the only holiday we are authorized to celebrate is the Lord's Day, Sunday.

It’s also permissible to celebrate the 4th of July when Jesus came down from Heaven with the Constitution on stone tablets and gave them to the founding fathers.
