Imagine hiw these antimaskers would have acted during WWII blackouts!

1. Or rationing for the troops fighting Japan and Germany

It's amazing how selfish Americans have become.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. They wouldn't last 2 hours.

Facebook goes down for ten minutes and you'd think it was the end of the world.

What a bunch of pansies.

3. Even the Taliban insist their women wear masks.......

4. Exactly. And most of the anti-maskers consider themselves patriots and Christians.

5. Different generation.

Unfortunately, the one most dominant now doesn't give a fig about anyone else.

[DBoon]

6. If those who faced WWII had the same attitudes many of us have now

We would be speaking German or Japanese now

Can you imagine people who won't wear a mask following a mandatory blackout? Or complying with rationing?

Malignant libertarianism has made use weak as a nation

[marble falls]

7. Or at conveniance stores with "No shoes, no shirt, no service!" signs on their doors.

[kairos12]

8. The tonnage sunk by Uboats would have tripled.

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Or the rationing that went on.

People had to do without ...
