Shame has no bearing on it..
You think identification equals safety. But history shows otherwise. IDs have been used to blacklist, imprison, and erase people who spoke out, protested, or just didn’t fit the mold. Security theater makes it look like control. But it's mostly about submission.
You say I shouldn’t enter without giving up my passport or cedúla. That’s your rule. Fine. I won’t enter. But don’t confuse compliance with morality. Some of the worst acts in history were fully documented, fully legal, and fully enforced by people who said, “Just doing my job.”
As for Florida’s masking law? Let’s call it what it is, a visibility mandate to make policing easier, not safer. If your entire sense of right and wrong hinges on whether someone shows their face, you’ve already lost the plot. Surveillance isn’t security. It’s control dressed up in law-and-order cosplay.
I don’t mask up because I’m guilty. I mask up because I know how this game works. Data gets sold. Faces get flagged. Behavior gets cataloged. And one day, normal gets redefined and the people who played it safe are already trapped inside the new cage.
Call me a potential threat if you want. Just remember: some of us refuse the default. Some of us won’t trade freedom for a visitor badge and a fake sense of safety.
