America, It’s Time to Unmask

Everyone needs to stand up for what is right. But for what is right to win out in the end, people need to band together in solidarity for protection and mutual support.

The other day, I was chatting with some friends about what to do about America’s new, alien mask culture: How can we drive it from our country, why it hasn’t been rejected yet, and what responsibility each of us bears for transforming this mere hope into a reality.

At one point, a friend shared this short clip of Jordan Peterson. How would he answer the question, “Whose fault is it that the safety-above-all-else mask culture persists?”

Peterson does not lay the blame on Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, the legacy media, the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, or the Chinese Communist Party. His answer?

It’s your fault.

I admit I was a little bit taken aback by this, even though I’ve listened to Peterson ever since he burst onto the scene in 2016 by cooly talking sense to irrational social justice warriors at the University of Toronto. I think that’s probably because, while his “rules for life” always seemed correct in the abstract, it also seemed to me that opportunities to live them out would be rare, perhaps even something for others to do. But now, I no longer think that—not when the once-clownish totalitarians, confined to campus safe spaces and given Play-Doh and dogs to pet because of “stress,” are steering my country into dangerous waters.

But even so, can it really be my responsibility to end this? Am I really obligated to be a kind of Solzhenitsyn-- excerpt, rest at link above --
