It feels a lot like the whole "American exceptionalism" thing where Americans are told from birth that they're special and they're free and the collective is less important than the individual etc. Here the mask wearing was communicated as a collective, "lets work together to minimise the risk" thing and probably 99% of people wear them when they should but in honesty, it's far different than the US or the UK even.
Some of this has to be around the vague implementation and politicisation of mask wearing. Like, it's just a temporary face covering. Such a dumb thing to be angry over.
