I am aware of the dystopic plans for our future, and the fact that it's a relatively imminent future, but we're still in a the pregame. Many if not most of the people around us are still deluded. The enforcement isn't coming from the threat. The actual threat isn't even present in the grocery store.
The mask is for expression, not protection. It is a way of expressing resistance that doesn't alienate our fellow shoppers who feel threatened by a maskless face. (How bizarre that sounds!) Certainly, if only one person wears it, it won't automatically make you a target. It's actually obeying the mandate. It's more resistance than rebellion really.
Those who know what's going on are fairly isolated from each other. The most important aspect of the Guy Fawkes mask is being able to identify each other out in public. I have no idea what it would look like in terms of numbers, but, if everyone who was awake wore it, well, it would certainly be interesting to see.
If there were enough to actually attract attention of those in power and they want to send their drones after us, we'll have to change strategies, but there are advantages even with them because they can't use facial recognition on us and, if the drones start firing, we can take off the mask.
Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate your input.
