Lindsay Mitchell: Propaganda writ large
Labels: Facemasks, Intentional kindness, Lindsay Mitchell, PropagandaAn advert plays incessantly on the radio telling me that "Wearing a mask is an act of intentional kindness."
An intention cannot be ascribed to an action by a third party. How does the creator of this advert know why I am wearing a mask?
If I go into the supermarket maskless I will be asked to don one or leave. So I take my own. It is an act of resentful compliance. I resent the rule, the enforcer of the rule and worse, myself for complying.
Every time I hear the ad these angry feelings are reinforced.
