If calling out morons for going to anti-mask RALLIES is being morally superior I’m very ok with being called that. 

Just to clarify I didn’t say you all were morally superior, I said you all perceive yourselves as morally superior.  Comes off as pretty insecure to me. You guys do you though. Let me know if you convince any of those people to wear masks.

“Morally superior heroes” 

LOL...or, you know, just doing their part to help stop the virus from spreading. But yeah

Yes, I’m sure you are saving the world by attacking low hanging fruit like Spock and QO lmao.

Trying to be logical and use reason with SnL is about as fruitful as doing the same with QO and Spock.

Did you call out morons for going to BLM protests? Scientifically there is no difference in how contagious a “no mask” rally and the BLM protests with 1000s and a good portion did not have masks.

No, they just ignore it when brought up.

Lol, again...”doing our part to help stop the spread” = “saving the world”

Come on..

It’s called an exaggeration. Just like when you say there is 99.9% compliance in Illinois. 

Come on..

I don’t think anyone is ignoring it, most people agree that the protests are a big reason why we’re currently seeing cases spike. 

But please do not pretend that the anti maskers who go out without a mask on purpose (to prove their anti mask point) are comparable to a group of people going out to protest for their rights.

Just because you agree with one protest and not the other doesn’t change the science of which one or both is a highly contagious event. 

I didn’t see too many of the “sanctimonious” crowd on here calling those going to BLM protests “morons and idiots” due to the highly likely probability of them spreading the virus.

It is nearly scientifically certain that most or a good portion of the upticks and increase in cases are due to the recent protests after the Floyd murder. The delay and timing line up perfectly with the known incubation period. 

Were all of you calling out those people as “morons and idiots”?

If not you are not being scientifically consistent, so you are just being sanctimonious.

Actually yes. 

But also everything is not the same as everything else, but people tend to have a hard time grasping that.

But ohh no.....look, I'm sanctimonious! idgaf

Ideologically they are different, but with respect to how contagious the two events are, it should be quite obvious of the two you mention, that protests are far more contagious than rando’s going out in public without a mask.

I didn’t see you calling the protestors morons for protesting during a pandemic.

If you called them morons for going out and spreading the virus then you are at least being consistent.

I just didn’t see it on here by about anyone not named Spock or QO.

I actually went to a BLM protest, and I am not exaggerating when I say that literally every single person I saw was wearing a mask. Every single one. The city also shut down streets, so there was plenty of room for people to spread out. So no, I don't think we were morons. Was it a risky activity? Yes. But did people try to be smart and safe while there? Also yes.

Thousands crowded together with no masks? Yes, that's stupid. Just like you're stupid if you go into a store or gas station without one.

Again, I'm not going to sit here and pretend every situation is the same.

Where's the uptick in NYC due to protests?

Of course protests, with 100k people, are going to spread the virus more than someone going to the grocery store without a mask.

And I did have issues with the protestors spreading the virus. I also believed in what they were protesting about, so I chose to focus my attention on that and not that they aren’t wearing masks. 

And also, I find one person who chooses to go out and not wear a mask because muhhh rights way more cunty than people going out to protest cops shooting black people dead. But fuck me right!

Also, anyone find it funny that ICL and jmog choose to focus on the BLM protestors when there are hundreds of different examples of hundreds/thousands of people crowding together without masks? Hmmm I wonder why!

So you, the one on here that has been the most scared about this virus of EVERYONE went to a protest?

You really shouldn’t call people morons about masks anymore, it just makes you hypocritical.

Going into a building with plenty of room to stay away from people, in areas that have low infection rates (aka they don’t have mandates) is low risk.

Going to a protest with 1000s of people is the definition of high risk.

You can’t make up the BS in this thread some times. 

Personally I have no problems with the protests and agreed with them (up until the riots/violence).  

However, to act like going to a protest with 1000s even if you wore a mask is less risky than walking into a gas station with only 2 other people in there and staying away from said people, in a county with low infection rate, is quite frankly asinine and doesn’t follow ANY science whatsoever.

You’re a tard. We bring it up bc you ignore it. You’ve bitched about people together everywhere EXCEPT that. The white dipshits in Portland and Seattle are way worse than the blm protestors, bc they’re not actually protesting g anything. They’re a bunch of entitled commie fucks.

Pointing out people’s double standard is not the same as being a racist, which is what you are insinuating.

Yeah, I’m a racist...fuck you again. 

I am sure this will get deleted but it had to be said. 

Once again SnL turns a logical discussion into garbage. Fuck off

Now you're just blabbing.

Haha, yup. It’s funny, you can tell when someone realizes their argument is fucked.
