Right, being anti-mask is now racist.
This is when you know you've lost the argument on mask wearing. You say stuff like this.
Even in Sweden.... COVID-denier anti-mask conspiracy-filled protests are nothing more than thinly veiled white nationalist supremacist anti-government protests - "a smokescreen of antisemitic and radical-right extremism".
The Murky Overlaps Between Swedish COVID Protests And The Radical Right
Converging conspiratorial imagination.

Despite Sweden’s comparably soft public-health approach in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic, the Anti-Corona movement finally hit the streets in early 2021. Under the fuzzy slogan “Freedom and Truth”, a motley crew of protesters assembled on March 6, 2021 in Stockholm and a few weeks later in several other Swedish cities to voice their concerns over governmental policies in general and in particular over the alleged looming coup d’état staged by the ‘globalist’ elites. Hijacking the traditional labour day, May 1, “Freedom and Truth” marched again in the Swedish capital, spearheaded by representatives of the country’s sovereign citizen’s and ‘Better Man’-movement.
And, exactly as at the occasion of previous and similar protests across Europe, the people marching with the movement ‘Freedom Sweden’ (“Frihet Sverige”) can be best characterized as a strange alliance between people generally burdened by different grievances, mixed in with spiritual wellness entrepreneurs, anti-vaxxers, outright conspiracy theorists and radical-right activists, very similar to developments in neighboring Norway. It is dangerously naïve to ignore these overlaps.
No doubt, popular political protest against any public policies is a legitimate part of democratic politics, but by setting aside public-health advice, the protesters not only broke against democratically agreed regulations, but put their own and other people’s health at risk. Moreover, in March the crowd gathered in Stockholm violently pushed its way through police barriers in order to congregate at the central square Kungsträdgården under the statue of Charles XII (1682–1718), the Swedish warrior-king hailed as a totem within the Swedish radical right.
Already in October 2020 a smaller crowd had assembled around his statue in a bizarre event – welcoming virulent conspiracy theorists on stage such as Ole Dammegard and representatives of the shady ‘World Freedom Alliance’ (WFA, which has a very strong Swedish representation). By then, it was already pretty obvious that the anti-corona protests not only were directed against Swedish public-health-policies but also functioned as a smokescreen of antisemitic and radical-right extremism.
In March 2021, the movement “Freedom Sweden” (which practically is a Swedish branch of WFA) did absolutely nothing to cut these ties or distance themselves from such positions, rather to the contrary: its leading figure, Filip Sjöström endorsed a supportive post on social media from a representative of the terrorist organization Nordic Resistance Movement (‘Nordiska Motstånds Rörelsen’, NMR) calling for an end of democracy.
Anders Jonsson of NMR wrote on the Facebook Page of “Tusenmannamarschen” (“The Thousand-man March”, as the March event was titled): “Democracy is a system in which JEWISH power owns and directs” and that “JEWISH power and democracy has to be crushed and to be replaced by national socialism, which means COMMUNITY OF THE PEOPLE (“FOLKGEMENSKAP”)”. Sjöström replied: “Thanks Anders. It is worthwhile to discuss the term ‘democracy’. We will create something new and better.” A number of posts expressed antisemitic positions and linked to the spurious Protocols or the Holocaust-denier Ernst Zündel, as Swedish journal Expo reported.
On the surface, ‘Freedom Sweden’ seemed to voice the grievances of quite a sizeable number of the Swedish public who think that the (very modest) public-health measures have gone ‘too far.’ But, for those who listened to the German doctor Heiko Schöning’s opening address, there must have been no shrink of a doubt that his aim was not to push for legitimate political demands but rather shameless agitation.
Schöning said: “I want to address the facts first. I’m a scientist, I’m a medical doctor, and I can tell you straight: what we see with covid-19, world-wide, is organized crime. […] Lies in a world-wide fashion are going on! It is not new and this is organized crime!” Schöning then explained that the American company Emergent BioSolutions was behind Anthrax and today produces the Corona-vaccine: “The anthrax attacks were based [sic] by the US military, the anthrax came from the US army! This is proven!”. He then incited the crowd to resist vaccination: “Why? Use your common sense, the vaccinations are not safe! Don’t take it! Consider it! It is organized crime what is behind this.”
In reality, Schöning claimed, Covid-19 “is just a cover story for the financial crash. 2008 there was a global financial crash, and it was clear who were the perpetrators. The perpetrators were the banks and their private owners!”. Since the financial system still not is healed, “they are looking for a cover story. The cover-story is the coronavirus, its COVID-19, and you are in it!”.
Claiming that he already had exposed the plot in 2019, Schöning bragged about his appearance with prominent anti-vaxxer Robert F Kennedy Jr at the Berlin 2020-protests (at which the radical-right conspiracy movement ‘Reich Citizens’ stormed the German parliament). He also told the crowd how he was arrested in Hyde Park for speaking out against corona-related policies. Quoting Depeche Mode´s song “Where’s the revolution”, Schöning called for to resist the “new normal across the globe from the oligarchs”. After the address, organizer Filip Sjöström praised Schöning as “the biggest freedom fighter we have right now”.
I mean, we've been telling y'all that the GOP is a bunch of racist lunatics for years.

If you follow the link at the article retraction --- it shows the article by an anti-masker is a complete set of lies.

Medical Hypotheses serves as a forum for innovative and often disruptive ideas in medicine and related biomedical sciences. However, our strict editorial policy is that we do not publish misleading or inaccurate citations to advance any hypotheses.
The Editorial Committee concluded that the author's hypothesis is misleading on the following basis:
1. A broader review of existing scientific evidence clearly shows that approved masks with correct certification, and worn in compliance with guidelines, are an effective prevention of COVID-19 transmission.
2. The manuscript misquotes and selectively cites published papers. References #16, 17, 25 and 26 are all misquoted.
3. Table 1. Physiological and Psychological Effects of Wearing Facemask and Their Potential Health Consequences, generated by the author. All data in the table is unverified, and there are several speculative statements.
4. The author submitted that he is currently affiliated to Stanford University, and VA Palo Alto Health Care System. However, both institutions have confirmed that Dr Vainshelboim ended his connection with them in 2016.
A subsequent internal investigation by the Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher have determined that this article was externally peer reviewed but not with our customary standards of rigor prior to publication. The journal has re-designed its editorial and review workflow to ensure that this will not happen again in future.

Store employees are no longer going to put up with shiat from anti-mask, COVID-denier Trumpers. Chick knocks the idiot out cold.

Video -- now with sports commentary (bottom video).
It has come out that the customer spat in the Walmart store representative's face (see the video). The location is given as Englewood. "A Walmart spokesman confirmed to indy100 that the altercation occurred on Tuesday in Englewood, Colorado".
The man who punched the customer was a contracted, third-party security worker and not a Walmart associate. He has since been banned from working at the retail giant’s stores, spokesman Casey Staheli said.
No word yet if criminal charges have been filed against either party.
“F*ck around and find out” should be the new “customer is always right”
