Why do Masks cause such anger in people

But dude - how can you be so blind?  At times, you seem to be just as "salty" as the "salty cracker".  Isn't your moniker and schtick "Arrogant Bastard" just as "salty", just from a different point of view?

Apples and enemas?

Self righteous?

The narrator in the YT video wasn't being self-righteous (I say this vis-a-vis the "it takes one to know one" principle as someone who admittedly can be from time to time); he was being a c*nty douche.

Here's the thing. "Normal" may be loosely defined as what's included in the 'meat' of the bell curve. "Abnormal" may be loosely defined as the outliers in both tails.

Wearing a face covering to help prevent the spread of a deadly pathogen to help fight the worst pandemic we as a species have faced in the last 100 years is very much in the middle of the bell curve. BTW, so is not wearing a mask when social distancing outdoors IMO.

But alluding to or implying that people wearing a mask are the problem, or any (even implicit) attempt to vilify people for acting in a manner pursuant to public safety goals and new established norms is intrinsically acrimonious and divisive. 

The guy could have gone on all f*cking day about how that dude deserved to get punched for throwing coffee in the guy's face (though what the guy did in response - approaching Soy Latte Guy and bloodying his nose - is in itself a crime and an arrestable offense), and I would never have said a thing. But instead, he is using his platform for the more nefarious reasons I mention in the paragraph above.

Ergo, he is seeding conflict by promulgating a narrative in which people who comply with public safety recs and municipal laws - you know... abiding by "law and order" - are the source of the problem. 

This is in no f*cking way equivalent to calling out people who are in flagrant violation of both local laws as well as clearly stated store and public safety policies, and who are by doing so putting others at risk. 

And if you can't see this, I only have one more thing left to say...

Why is Peru experiencing such high cases? They diligently wear masks AND locked down

The people of Mexico and the Philippines diligently wear their masks. What's up?

It seems masks have to opposite effect on new cases that they are intended to have. Time after time they fail to protect populations from COVID-19.

Where's the evidence they work? There's no correlation with mask wearing and COVID-19 cases.

Have you been to Mexico? Mask use there is about on par with the US. Mexico has had the same issues with getting people to wear masks as we have. Like here, it comes down to an urban vs rural divide.
