The mask thing has become a new or 2nd religion.
At times it feels like I am in some bad dystopian Sci Fi movie.
The face mask is the new fascist arm band.

Between the Covid panic, the riots, the Socialist insurgency (but I’m repeating myself), it’s becoming difficult to write dystopian, apocalyptic stories. It’s downright boring compared to reality.
The manipulators are also trying to ruin alien invasion & asteroid collision tropes.
Even standard thriller plots of Presidential assassination and Chinese/Russian/Iranian spies sound like repurposed headlines.
Add in the PC checklist/newspeak style book and I’ve decided to return to making art, for the moment.
The above is probably why there is so much fantasy/paranormal fiction out there. It’s just too farfetched for reality to overtake. But even magical unicorn shifter tales have to abide by the woke stylebook.
You, actually, we, have been living in the Twilight Zone for at least the last 11 to 13 years.
Folks talk of the “new normal”
There is nothing “normal” now. Nothing.
