    He absolutely does not, as I said to the other guy.

    So because both sides wear pants, we can’t criticise what’s in their pockets?

    Context matters, but this guy is just seeing masks and assuming both sides are doing it for the same reason… no amount of reasoning will ever persuade an idiot.

      I mean at an incredibly reductive to the point of uselessness level the masks are being worn to protect identity but that’s not actually relevant when we’re talking about the motivations specifically. Like saying that holding your breath is always counterproductive to breathing while ignoring that humans regularly swim under water. Like even that’s a stupid example because I’m having trouble understanding how he can’t understand something so fundamental to daily existence.

        The cognitive gymnastics required for this person to completely miss the point like that should be an Olympic sport, it’s incredible.

        And all to defend some Nazis… Anyway, I’ve given this thread enough oxygen, have a good one!
