Oh yeah!
 
I knew a guy, back in the Book of Faces days, who set up a motorcycle helmet so that he could vape and push a cloud out both sides of the top... It seems that irritated some Karens...

Malicious compliance is often more effective. Take it to the extreme to illustrate the silliness, plus it takes away their power to hit you with non-compliance.

If they do, just get a hoodie, put it on backward, and cut some eye holes. Voila!

I'm still considering a plague doctor set up.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Do it.  I got lots of compliments on my plague doctor mask last year.

Then I got a buttload of anti-compulsory-vax T-shirts with different slogans on them.  I'm not opposed to the science of vaccination and I have several immunizations.  But no COVID ones.  Every time I wear one of those shirts I get compliments in public about them.  Never once accosted by a pro-vaxxer.

Our society is primed for a V-for-Vendetta style mask mockery of authority.  Respect for government is at an all time low.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
--Lysander Spooner

Just checked our cruise requirements in Italy and fully vax’d only.  Guess I need to consider a booster shot if I wanna get on board.

The same for our Viking cruises scheduled for this fall and next summer.  At least as of today, Viking is not requiring daily testing while on board.

Proof of vaccination and a negative test 24 hours prior to boarding for us.  Nothing coming off or flying home.

I'm disappointed you can't pillage and burn on their cruises.

Crazy how no one ever seems to think that's an option.

Some family went on a cruise recently. All vaccinated six ways from Sunday and most having had COVID before. They had to test when transferring ships for the second part of their cruise and a couple of them tested positive. They got kicked off the boat and put up in a hotel for a few days then flew home. They all ended up sick with positive COVID tests whether on the trip or After they got back.

 I had a neck gaitor, all black, that I could see thru.
I would cover my entire face and head, it really made people uncomfortable, especially while open carrying .
towards the end of the mandates I was very non compliant and very vocal about how dumb it was and advocating violence
against any agency enforcing the regs.
I started getting very, very angry

I get the youts in black hoodies, black gloves, black masks, and black sunglasses.
 
Some of them wear masks  that show only the eyes, and wear sunglasses.

lots of websites "say" vaxx proof etc, but out here there is zero enforcement .
I think a lot of places "say" so online but never enforce anything.
