It was unpopular to question the Y’all masking hashtag. It’s petering out, as all performative symbolism does. It provided ‘support’ to some, but because of these platforms just energised those who oppose masking at the same time. On balance, it was a step backwards. 1/2

If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. Attempting to use these platforms to fix real world issues destroys all chance of any solutions. It creates and maintains teams, who battle. It rigidifies society. It destroys action. SM is social heroin. We can’t stop. /end
