I noted another common perception at the Breathe Easy launch on Thursday evening (mentioned in previous posts): that anarchists in the States mask up - and require masking at events - way more than those here in the UK. There are lots of ideas thrown around about why that might be (one I enjoy sharing is the lack of revolutionary history in the UK, where we still have a monarchy, with essentially three houses - two of those unelected and the third first-past-the-post). But I just caught another poster for an anarchist bookfair in the States right here on Mastodon, with "wear a mask" on it, in contrast to the example I wrote about last week...
