Wrong. Nobody argues that pants in fact do what they are intended to do: Prevent me from having to see your balls. The science is unclear and dubious when it comes to wearing masks in all circumstances. This is not a pure matter of freedom.
The major problem with Leftism is that since the French Revolution, it has essentially promoted “cures” that were worse than the problem itself. It’s thrown millions of babies out with metric tons of bathwater. And this is why, from an evolutionary standpoint, what we call Leftism is a very new phenomena, and not one that nature will tolerate for long. Eventually, we will be dominated by barbarians who could care less about Progressive abstractions. Leftism can basically only exist because elites, insulated from the policies they endorse, promote worldviews and politics that they themselves do not adhere to. They do this because, psychologically, being nice is more powerful than being right when it comes to popularity and votes. The problem of course is that being right is fundamental to continued existence at a civilization level. The elites for instance, will own guns, or have paid bodyguards, (but demand more gun control) they will fly in jets much more often then the dreaded red-neck, whom they belittle for BBQing and eating meat, bemoan capitalism while being the most ruthless capitalists on the planet, scathingly attack “bourgeoisie values” while having mostly adhered to them since at least junior high school, which enabled (unless their establishment, progressive mommy and daddies helped to get into Yale, in nefarious ways) them to get into their elite schools and live relatively good lives.
So, in summary, being part of the Leftist intelligentsia/elite/progressive Establishment involves living the WASP (a group of people the Leftists diligently worked to destroy) life, while hating Protestants (unless of course those Protestants, like African Americans will, will vote for the Establishment, like all good and honest people do….
I, for one, will continue to do my running here in DC with pants and sans mask.
Bottom line: When assessing current “science” (ie whatever dude mainstream media puts in front of a camera after having vetting his politics), begin first with “Whatever owns Trump leads”.
