Reply to comment by CaptainWanWingLo in China intensifies disinformation, cyberattacks on Taiwan: report by Wagamaga

Taiwan still has all kinds of pointless covid mandates.

Edit: If you're going to downvote me at least point out which one of the dozens upon dozens of Covid mandates and regulations the Taiwanese government is still enforcing that isn't pointless. I'm listening.

Like what, masks? No one cares about having to wear masks, and they’re already loosening those measures anyways. Like it was just never a political priority. What pointless mandates?

The useless ones like masks in schools but not when having PE class or when presenting, masks in restaurants unless you're sitting at a table with a dozen people until you get up from the table and then magically masks are required again, somehow a kid turning 3 magically requiring a mask, silly 3 day absences from school for symptoms, still not letting parents attend school functions or more than one parent attending a teacher conference, the list goes on and on.

They still have tons of silly, pointless, wasteful, mandates that are just a power trip for those on top and a panic crutch for those on the bottom.

There are tons of people who are getting fed up with the silly mandates and it's 100% political at this point. There was a reason it kept coming up over and over again leading up to the elections yesterday.

Never underestimate the power of a totemic fetish charm. It’s woven into our dna from a million years of hominid evolution. Masks today are the 21st century version of the decorative rattle used to repel evil spirits while dancing around a fire in Turkey 19,000 years ago.
