Not wearing a mask is linked to antisocial traits, study finds

It's worth noting that this study was undertaken in Brazil, so not sure how it applies to the demographics of our discussion group.

Hm, yet when I see our mask protesters in action in Victoria some of those traits do seem to bubble up...

 

Nice try

 

White House coronavirus advisor Anthony Fauci praises Victorian attitude to mask wearing

Dr Fauci said the vitriol towards mask-wearing in the United States in some cases was "extraordinary"

Maybe it does apply to the US

 

The keyword is "comply". This ought to frighten anyone.

 

There are web sites on "the interntz" that will tell us that ice cream and cake for breakfast will help people lose weight and that meat makes people smarter. Quit believing everything on the internte. And is it so bad being antisocial?

 

Does it frighten you when you are obliged to do up your seatbelt? (my favorite analogy). There should be even less cause for mandate given it's only your life that is forfeit.

I wonder if those on the Right are simply allergic to change. Perhaps after a period of time they'll get used to it and then not consider it such an inconvenience or affront to their liberties after all (like seatbelts).

 

Callous, hostile and deceitful were the variables of interest in the study

 

Yeah. Democrats are just projecting their own antisocial disorders on those they don't agree. It couldn't be due to things like poverty, class and discrimination. Remember when all those deceptive Jews callously refusing to wear masks while exerting their first amendment right to observe their religion, and their hostility to the police was sociopathic. Except, they were wearing masks, and they were trying to practice their religion in a safe manner. The video demonstrates a bunch of orthodox Jews that, while not social distancing, were wearing masks. Remember when BLM and Antifa didn't wear masks or social distance after a justified shooting or false rumor spread on the internet, and Democrats, blacks and Hispanics just started looting and burning stores. Remember when that unrest led to Covid-19 spreading? Remember when migrant workers, Central American Hispanics, and illegal immigrants became the group that had the highest rates of confirmed cases in basically every state?

Just stop the BS already. Democrats scapegoated the Jews in NY cause they contradicted them in public, agreed with Trump on something, and then refused to comply with your stay-at-home order so they could observe religious services. Did I agree with them? No. When I saw it for the first time, I, as a Jew, got pretty upset. But now I can't ignore the fact that the continued targeting of the Jews is racial and religious discrimination. There was no rational basis for the mayor of NY to target Jewish communities while infection rates were blowing up in Hispanic and AA communities. Even the Staten Island Dump had more issues with Covid. Secular, liberal Jews distancing and wearing masks in NJ and NY were having more problems. What Democrats did to the Jews in NY was sociopathic, and the closest thing I've seen government swing to Marxist/Nazi anti-Semetism in my lifetime. It was textbook. My parents actually renewed their passports after that thing. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-boroughs.page

The fact that Democrats around the country were so blind to the circumstances cause it wasn't some KKK/Skinhead is perhaps a sign that this country is headed for war very soon.

 

Wearing a mask in public during this pandemic is just common curtesy.

Not wearing a mask is just the reaction of a four year old crying on the floor in a supermarket because mom won’t let him run around without his pants on ...

End of story.

 

I am glad I wear a mask.....

 

The term "anti-social", as used in the above article, does not mean a lack of desire to socialize. It means a lack of empathy for others, and general disbelief in community, etc, in other words disbelief in character traits that keep a civilized society intact. It is no surprise that the anti-maskers think about their own "freedom" first, before they think about the consequences of their behavior for others. We didn't need that article to confirm that point.

 

It isn't about mask wearing. It is about authoritarianism. Americans don't like it at all.

 

Looks kinda like a Nazi way of looking at things when one thinks we should give up freedom for the good of the hive.

 

Those aren't "objective terms". Who sets the norm to determine the criteria for those terms? A city person can be seen as callous and hostile if they aggressively confront a city person when they are trespassing when that is a totally normal reaction in the mountains. To us it's just a normal reaction.

 

Not buying it, ANTIFA always wears masks while looting and rioting.

 

No surprise here.

Those who wear masks (presuming they are informed as to the efficacy of masks) are found to be more docile and submissive, more prone to do as they are told and not ask questions.

 

Some do, some don't.

 

To a degree. I think most people just don't want to be bothered with "fighting the system" which is what authoritarians rely on.

Beyond that, EVERYTHING is not a personality disorder. I hate the way mental health "professionals" try to claim that it is.

 

Those who like authoritarianism haven't experienced enough of if yet.

 

Well put and true.

Those that don't wear masks are Anti-Life...Anti-science, anti-American....they don't believe in a UNITED States...

 

I think you're exactly right. Because I do ask friends and neighbors about that (human behavior is a hobby of mine), I ask about it. Many reply just as you've described. Further, most younger folks wear one ONLY to keep a job.

 

The opposite of callous, hostile and deceitful is compassionate, friendly and honest.

 

i think not wearing a mask in a city in the USA with thousands of cases of Covid, is an act of masochism.

 

You probably also think there were WMD in Iraq and that Osama was killed on Obama's watch.

There was a time when most of mankind thought the earth was the center of the universe.

When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts.

 

It's actually a reasonable question.
