The persons pushing back against masking amid COVID-19 are not freedom fighters. They are sociopaths. They are not imbued with a love of liberty and choice; they are marinated in a diagnosable anti-social personality disorder
These are neither people with whom we might reason nor folks whom progressives should be trying to understand. They are not persons to whom we should reach out in the name of political ecumenism. They are not merely uninformed but well-meaning people who just need better information, which we, of course, will provide, as we lead them to enlightenment.
Nope, screw that.

If you want to access the full article you need to copy and paste link into browser - it is funny medium thing.
Emphasis mine
The definition of a sociopath is a term used to describe someone who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). People with ASPD can't understand others' feelings. They'll often break rules or make impulsive decisions without feeling guilty for the harm they cause
Tim Wise is spot on. And actually it makes sense. Birds of a feather flock together after all and right wing policies are not exaclty known for empathy or supporting hard to reach communities are they? So if you give s hit you would never vote republican. BUT if you really do not care about anyone else, of course that is where you congregate.

We called the post office a few times. His supervisors, who say they agree he should wear one, had talks with him. He still doesn't wear a mask. Asshole.
