That's a nice euphemistic way of looking at having cops harass people who aren't wearing masks outside. It's just "social pressure!"
If there was widespread buy-in for this nonsense of the sort that could create social pressure, they wouldn't need the mandate to get people to do it.
- phendrenad2 5y agoYou act like social pressure is a switch you flip. It's a gradient. You can increase or decrease it. Also it's effects aren't a light bulb. You don't suddenly reach a threshold and everyone is "social pressured". It's an effect that increases the number of people wearing masks. Just because a large number of people are not wearing masks, you think that social pressure is useless. It's like saying the titanic shouldn't have had lifeboats, because most people didn't make it onto them, so they must not work.
