@tha_rami Pretty

@tha_rami Oh sh*t LEGO BOUQUET!

Can Americans help me understand anti-maskers? Is it psychological reactance? Perception their behavioural freedom is under threat? There seems to also be political undertones we dont have in Aust that I don't quite understand. Do "good Republicans" feel they need to push back?

Genuinely asking for Americans perspective, not a loaded question. The psychology behind it confounds me a lil

@DR4G0N_47 I wasn't aware of religious undertones. That's alarming

@johnspartan777 How do you feel about sense of community and looking out for those who are at higher risk? As I understand it, a mask protects others more than the wearer.

@JakeMoriarty13 I think, and this is a huge generalisation, in aust we are encouraged to look out for our commumity. In my time in the US, especially in large cities, I observed more of a individualistic culture.

@NeoVanilluxe Oh no 😔

@capt_n_morgan99 I understand but its very rare here and feels less...loaded with other undercurrents?

@RustyShacklfrd3 That's interesting, thank you

@DR4G0N_47 I was shocked by the religious billboards I saw on highways in the mid-west the first time I went to the US. I did some research and compared US/AU census data and a lightbulb switched on when I saw the disparity in how many US citizens identified as highly religious vs AU

@Willistor @Roary11477177 yep gen Z (and the upcoming Gen Alpha) are pretty woke

@AllenOLantern US healthcare system saddens me. In the US, cut my knee, got infection and went to hospital on the weekend for a simple antibiotic prescription. $360 plus cost of the meds. Here it would be free plus a few dollars for the prescription :( I know that's a minor thing but damnnnn

@THE3ADASS That's a different point and worth considering, thank you

thank you for the responses, appreciate it. You've given me stuff to chew on and some avenues to research. Stay safe over there, I feel for all of you, no matter political persuasion or otherwise; you've all been through a lot.

@BigCannon71 I'm down for anti-tyranny. I just short circuit when it comes to something like a pandemic and the awful death count over there. I don't understand how politics/gov etc doesn't take a back seat and...everyone comes together on this one thing to mitigate it. maybe I'm naive

@KOmgtv f*ckin oath m8

@danlev @Soaked_Pantsu Thx for the links

@Nopax4 nah, I was running with a character limit. I saw Trump actively encouraging not wearing masks at times (and at others he'd wear one) and wondered if Republicans felt it was a signifier of their political support. Hence the quote marks. ofc they aren't ALL republican.

RT @survivetheark: Never mind its lightning-fast chain-teleport strike… By the time you're aware of the Shadowmane's presence, it's probabl…

@Stea1thyPick1e wishing her the best on her path into game dev!
