00:00:00.000 This is easily the most ridiculous thing I've seen in the past three months, and I want to share it with you all today so we can all laugh along together, because apparently the mask communists are back. 0.92
00:00:13.320 They've been feeling very underappreciated over the past couple of years, and now they want all of us to know that they're still masking, and so should you too. 0.99
00:00:23.400 It's utterly pathetic. I know some people say, well, they had their brains broken by COVID, and they're all very germaphobic now, and they're scared that they might be immunocompromised or they might have long COVID.
00:00:34.100 No, no, no. Maybe a few of those people are motivated by health concerns. Most of these individuals are what I call mask communists, because I think that they just like rules.
00:00:46.540 So even though in no jurisdiction on the planet is the government still enforcing masking, these people want to show you that they like rules, and they wish they could impose these rules that they self-impose on themselves onto you, but for the meantime, they're at least going to try and capture their virtue points on social media and show solidarity with other people who are still masking.
00:01:08.840 And mind you, the screenshots I'm about to show you, which is about over a dozen, is what I collected in just about a minute of searching through the y'all masking hashtag on Twitter.
00:01:21.140 These people are diseased, not in the sense that they have a disease, and maybe it's good that they're wearing a mask.
00:01:28.940 They have a disease of the mind, a self-imposed disease of the mind, where they want to pretend to be paranoid about diseases to prove that you're a worse person than them, even though these people are big government communists who would love to cram down arbitrary rules onto you, because they're good people and you're not insane. 0.92
00:01:48.240 But this is just a small selection of these individuals wearing ridiculous apparatuses on their faces because there's slight smoke in the air, or I felt a sniffle, and they're all wearing N95 masks, or they're wearing like scuba gear and whatnot. 0.86
00:02:04.420 It's insane. 0.92
00:02:05.320 Like this lady says, 0.96
00:02:06.000 Hashtag y'all masking has been such a beautiful trend.
00:02:09.980 It's easy to feel isolated and like no one else cares, but seeing my timeline full of clever, compassionate people and respirators fills my cup.
00:02:19.480 Keep on keeping on, fellow maskers. 1.00
00:02:21.680 No, you're an idiot. 1.00
00:02:23.160 If you're still wearing a mask, if anything, we were all idiots when the government was forcing us to wear masks to go out in the public. 1.00
00:02:29.820 I know some people didn't do that, but if you want to keep your job in certain cases, like me, you had to do it. 0.99
00:02:35.540 But no, you're not a compassionate person. 1.00
00:02:37.700 You're an idiot. 1.00
00:02:38.620 Doing stupid things like this does not make you compassionate. 1.00
00:02:41.840 It makes you gullible. 1.00
00:02:42.940 It makes you an actual fairly nasty totalitarian type individual that you're trying to show that you're still following the rules that everyone else doesn't feel like they need to follow.
00:02:53.920 Yeah, because we don't need to do it.
00:02:55.640 But you are acting like you're a better person because you like hyper strict rule following.
00:03:02.980 This is why socialist parties have a lot of support.
00:03:06.220 There are people like this who like big government.
00:03:09.320 They like self-regulation.
00:03:11.000 So this lady right here says, it's so lovely seeing all your wonderful masked selfies. 0.96
00:03:16.860 Here's one of me and my mom where we got our Novavax last fall.
00:03:20.680 Mom has multiple autoimmune disorders.
00:03:24.000 So we bring a HEPA filter plugged into a battery pack with us to all of her appointments.
00:03:29.900 Don't do that.
00:03:31.160 Even if your mother has a lot of autoimmune disorders, don't bring a HEPA filter with you. 0.99
00:03:35.880 That's ridiculous. 0.74
00:03:36.740 This lady right here posting, y'all masking, this mask model is called Joy, and it's one of my favorites. 0.95
00:03:43.560 I don't care.
00:03:44.400 What are you posting this stuff on social media for?
00:03:47.120 Like it's been an absolute goldmine for people mining engagement, just dunking on all these people.
00:03:52.560 This guy, and this is only eight hours ago, and I'm filming this pretty soon after taking this screenshot.
00:03:58.920 So maybe it's nine hours ago now, but he says, y'all masking, COVID conspicuous from Spain, together from all around the world.
00:04:06.200 Go on, my friends, stopping COVID illness and supporting solidarity.
00:04:09.880 Thank you.
00:04:10.640 You're an unfunctional human being if you're still doing stuff like this.
00:04:14.060 Like I kind of sympathize, but I don't because they're doing this signaling what they would like you to be forced to do.
00:04:21.140 It's like whenever people do other sort of like woke, you know, DEI type solidarity stuff at their companies.
00:04:28.960 They're doing that not because it's a choice that they are personally making voluntarily because they think it's the right thing to do.
00:04:34.860 They think it's the kind of right thing to do, but they're modeling at their own businesses, at their own corporations, because they'd like you to be forced to do it too.
00:04:43.360 They are merely modeling the behavior that they would like the government to force you to do.
00:04:47.560 That, again, is why I call them mass communists.
00:04:50.020 These people, you can tell to a person that they want wealth taxes, that they want rent control, that they want nationalization of industries.
00:04:58.080 None of these people are big freedom individuals.
00:05:00.340 Because even though they are acting voluntarily and they're allowed to do this themselves, they would love for you to have to do it with them.
00:05:08.080 This person says, y'all masking me and my youngest kid.
00:05:11.320 Goodness, do not do this to your child.
00:05:14.160 Being the lone masker as a teen ain't easy.
00:05:18.100 Thank you to everyone still protecting kids by masking.
00:05:20.700 You're protecting children.
00:05:23.080 Kids were never at risk even during COVID, even when COVID was actually going around.
00:05:27.660 No kid was at risk, and being the lone masker as a teen ain't easy, then stop forcing your kid to do it. 1.00
00:05:35.880 Stop modeling stupid behavior for your child. 1.00
00:05:39.320 This is just, again, diseased goblin behavior, just pretending that you're better for doing unnecessary things. 1.00
00:05:47.000 These people might as well start pretending that they need crutches and walking around in crutches for solidarity with people who need crutches.
00:05:53.580 You never know, I might need crutches one day, so that's why I'm going to preemptively use them. 1.00
00:05:58.640 No, you're stupid. 1.00
00:05:59.720 Stop doing this. 1.00
00:06:01.020 I'm masking because disabled people should be able to safely access public spaces.
00:06:06.020 They can.
00:06:06.700 They can. 1.00
00:06:07.200 And your stupid mask isn't helping them. 1.00
00:06:09.140 What? 1.00
00:06:10.040 I'm masking because I've had long COVID for eight months, and there's no cure.
00:06:14.480 Masking is only going to hurt you then if you have long COVID and you have a harder time breathing still.
00:06:19.620 Why would you then put something in front of your face, lady? 1.00
00:06:23.260 I'm masking because we're in a COVID surge.
00:06:26.300 Paxavid costs $1,700, and I don't want to die for capitalism.
00:06:32.320 See, I told you, they're mask communists. 1.00
00:06:35.440 These people are signaling by wearing a stupid thing on their face that they like communism. 1.00
00:06:41.560 This woman, y'all masking, I sure am, every single day. 1.00
00:06:45.340 I bet that lady's probably even masking in her own house when she's alone because she's an irrational person. 1.00
00:06:53.020 They even look left wing.
00:06:55.860 I'm not trying to be rude, but if I can tell that you're left wing from your face, that's a problem.
00:07:02.280 It's not like I'm saying that, like, oh, the person looks weak or whatever.
00:07:06.420 I'm not exactly a jacked dude, as you can tell.
00:07:09.300 But when you have kind of, like, the hipster hair, you have, like, the woman with, like, the very unflattering haircut with the full bangs all the way around.
00:07:18.340 Just, she looks like a left wing librarian. 1.00
00:07:21.160 It's a bad look.
00:07:22.740 Never do that.
00:07:23.600 And there's people on the right who do it, too, where, like, they start to, like, dress very right wing all the time.
00:07:29.240 You know, like, guys honestly don't wear an F Trudeau shirt. 0.94
00:07:32.140 It looks silly.
00:07:33.480 Wearing political garb all the time, I find, is very cringeworthy. 0.93
00:07:38.240 And this is the height of cringeworthy.
00:07:40.800 They are wearing political symbols on their face.
00:07:43.320 Even if, I guarantee these people do not wash their masks frequently, just like people did during COVID.
00:07:48.320 They simply need it on their face to show you that they're left wing and they're more virtuous than you.
00:07:52.500 I'm repeating myself a lot, but it's, like, it's absolutely insane to watch people who actually believe that this is the way forward in their lives.
00:07:59.880 If any of these people are in support of redistributionary programs because I'm living in poverty, no doubt you're living in poverty.
00:08:08.560 You make bad choices, sir.
00:08:10.940 However, here's this guy called the Green Garay.
00:08:14.320 At the library, y'all masking, I wear it not only for myself, but to keep public spaces like this safer for everyone who may visit and need services.
00:08:24.920 We have to care about each other and protect each other because capitalism doesn't.
00:08:29.360 I did not pre-screen what people said in their headers when I did this.
00:08:34.440 I called this video, The Masked Communists Are Back, well before I read any of these.
00:08:39.740 But you can tell they're communists.
00:08:41.660 These people are, like, I guarantee this guy does not actually need to go to the library.
00:08:45.840 He is going to a public library because it's a public library.
00:08:49.360 And he believes in public services, even though I guarantee this man just reads stuff on his phone.
00:08:55.620 He does not look like a man who touches physical objects that much.
00:08:59.540 Going back to this guy wearing something that makes him look like he's about to rob a bank with sarin gas.
00:09:06.180 Oh, my goodness.
00:09:07.560 These two right here.
00:09:08.760 Anyone who thinks that the hashtag y'all masking trend is virtue signaling, it is virtue signaling.
00:09:14.060 The fact that you even mention virtue signaling means you know it is virtue signaling.
00:09:17.540 Anyone who thinks the hashtag y'all masking trend is virtue signaling needs to understand that we're often the lone maskers in spaces and feel extremely alone.
00:09:27.220 Yes, you love feeling like the only one doing it in a space because you love the attention.
00:09:32.600 This is attention-seeking behavior.
00:09:34.780 These are the type of people who go to left-wing protests in favor of gender theory and against parental rights.
00:09:40.440 They're the people who go to every single pride event they can find because they love attention.
00:09:45.340 I'll finish up this person's tweet.
00:09:47.540 Seeing so many people all over the world is a genuine surprise and the first glimmer of hope that many of us have felt in a long time.
00:09:54.880 These people knew other people like them were already masking, but they're just like, oh, there's other people out there who are as good and virtuous as us?
00:10:02.920 We're not virtue signaling, but we're the only people doing it. 0.99
00:10:06.280 Shut up. 0.98
00:10:06.920 You knew other left-wing attention-seeking communists were also doing this. 1.00
00:10:13.400 Again, you can tell that these people are left-wing.
00:10:16.000 Just the haircuts.
00:10:17.160 Just the glasses that they wear.
00:10:18.720 There's this weird trend with left-wing people of wearing really unflattering clothes.
00:10:24.340 What I mean, I mean, look, they look like they're wearing burlap sacks and they wear like really big, super round glasses.
00:10:29.660 Like I wear bigger glasses, but I have like a bulbous head, but so I wear bigger glasses because, you know, small glasses make my head even look bigger.
00:10:37.220 But these people like to wear weird glasses, you know, thick black-rimmed glasses.
00:10:42.840 They like the fact that wearing their bucket hats and like mismatched glasses with their black mask, they like the fact it looks bad because it makes them an eyesore and that's more attention for them.
00:10:56.060 And they have this kind of weird equity belief that we should all be wearing.
00:11:00.000 And this has literally happened during COVID.
00:11:02.140 People would say, oh, it's good to wear masks because now everyone looks less attractive.
00:11:06.120 That was something that multiple articles at left-wing publications was written on.
00:11:10.260 Oh, it's very equitable in terms of people's appearances because you just see their eyes and you can't judge them on their appearance.
00:11:17.140 They like dressing down.
00:11:19.900 There's actually this weird thing with left-wing women disliking being attractive. 1.00
00:11:24.200 Same thing with kind of left-wing guys.
00:11:25.960 They will dress down almost for like equity reasons of looking more proletariat and more average. 0.95
00:11:32.800 It's like disgusting behavior.
00:11:34.740 But I'm kind of going down some rabbit holes here.
00:11:37.900 Hopefully, you guys don't mind my rambling.
00:11:40.340 There's this guy, Upal Hassan, saying, words fail to capture the feeling of solidarity that y'all masking movement has made me feel.
00:11:48.780 For the first time during this pandemic, have I felt solidarity.
00:11:52.260 Pandemic.
00:11:53.440 This was posted 20 hours ago.
00:11:55.220 For the first time during this pandemic, I have felt solidarity.
00:11:58.240 Well, he didn't feel solidarity, apparently, when we were all forced to do it.
00:12:03.180 Only now when he gets virtue points for only for voluntarily doing unnecessary nonsense.
00:12:09.540 For many of us still holding down the fort, still holding down the fort.
00:12:13.420 This is one of those things where even if masks work, if other people aren't doing it, it doesn't matter.
00:12:18.760 So you guys aren't holding down the fort.
00:12:20.820 You're doing something that you know is unnecessary.
00:12:23.820 For many of us holding down the fort, it's been a lonely ride.
00:12:27.540 It's a stark reminder of the strength in numbers.
00:12:30.440 Nobody's doing it with you guys.
00:12:31.580 So there's no strength in numbers. 1.00
00:12:33.480 These two idiots just confirmed that nobody else was doing it but them. 1.00
00:12:37.860 Here's the last one. 1.00
00:12:39.660 Here's to all the hashtag y'all masking.
00:12:42.160 Taking this simple but oddly politicized and mocked action to protect yourself and others as our government pushed to return to normal.
00:12:50.400 And big love to those who would be joining if they could but can't for health and safety reasons.
00:12:56.480 Nobody left behind. 1.00
00:12:58.240 Why are they so dumb? 1.00
00:13:02.820 It's just dumb, diseased, communist behavior. 1.00
00:13:07.580 You should at this point mock these people on social media. 1.00
00:13:10.340 They're not doing this because COVID broke their brains and now they're very sensitive to diseases and viruses out there.
00:13:16.580 They know none of this is working.
00:13:18.320 There's tons of people I know and a lot of actually people who become very left-wing tellingly who do unnecessary things,
00:13:26.380 who act in very abstract, like sort of eccentric ways because they like the attention.
00:13:32.660 You can't tell me that the way that these people dress, them doing the masking, them posting this, it's all about getting attention, even if it's negative attention.
00:13:42.040 These people know they're being mocked and they know that it's being oddly politicized for some reason, even though it's only left-wing people doing it.
00:13:49.840 So you guys are complaining that it's getting oddly politicized while your own cohort is talking about how, you know, they're fighting back against capitalism and they're going out to support public libraries. 0.99
00:14:01.920 You are fools. You're fools. And this is why I want to start calling these people mask communists. 1.00
00:14:08.920 They are showing the fact that they like nationalization. They like high taxes. They like wealth taxes, rent control.
00:14:15.440 They like other equity schemes. They like gender theory. They like the concept of gender fluidity.
00:14:21.640 The amount of gender fluid people masking, I guarantee, is disproportionately high because they are in an equity frame of mind.
00:14:31.140 And the mask is the symbol of how much they like equity and ESG and DEI.
00:14:37.280 That's all I can really say about that today.
00:14:39.740 That's it for me. So if you guys want to donate to my legal fund, that is in the description of the video below.
00:14:45.020 It's the Give, Send, Go link. We're fighting back against a Chinese communist. 0.98
00:14:50.680 It's out of the bag. It's very late in the video. I messed that up.
00:14:55.160 I don't usually say this, but the guy who's suing us used to be on CCP boards back in China.
00:15:01.720 And he's suing us because we had a guest writer in an article mention, not even, this wasn't even original research.
00:15:07.640 We had a link to a Globe and Mail article showing this guy had CCP connections and who was donating to Aaron O'Toole and other conservatives.
00:15:14.440 And he sued us for defamation. And in two and a half years, he hasn't even been able to show any evidence to how we defamed him.
00:15:21.920 It's not a really ridiculous case. It's cost me more than $30,000 at this point.
00:15:26.300 So if you guys want to donate anything, it really helps me out.
00:15:29.300 That was a bit of a flub, but I guess now you guys know the full story.
00:15:32.800 I've been holding back on details because if you, like, mention the reason the person suing you, they can sort of, you know, you say too much.
00:15:40.180 They can say you're being malicious and you keep repeating the defamation.
00:15:43.500 And you get some judges who are very sensitive to saying, well, you keep repeating it. 0.97
00:15:47.740 So now it feels malicious, but whatever, ridiculous.
00:15:51.480 But anything you guys can contribute really helps.
00:15:53.380 And if you guys want to sign up on my website to get any political updates for specific ridings you live in in Canada,
00:15:59.840 go sign up at the website below, wyattclaypool.com.
00:16:03.020 And if there's any interesting races going on in your province or even in your individual riding,
00:16:08.160 I can email you and anyone else in your postal code area that coincides with that region,
00:16:13.620 letting you know about good candidates, good political initiatives to get on board with,
00:16:17.460 volunteering opportunities, and the rest.
00:16:19.620 Because I think it's better that we all get involved so we can fight back against people like this,
00:16:24.200 mass communists, that we can get more freedom people out for good, solid freedom candidates all around Canada.
00:16:30.220 So yeah, go click on the link below, wyattclaypool.com, and I'll see you guys in my next video.
