Lots of countries have anti-mask laws. Most aren't Western.

those were all put into place pre covid though.
and unless i'm missing something in that article, they're all white countries other than hong kong. might as well be 'the west.'
Most of the countries in that list are western?
Something tells me the majority of these places don’t care about surgical masks or the likes, and ‘anti masks’ generally mean covering your entire face or wearing any kind of mask along with other menacing gear like full shades and gloves.
Actually, since they’re western, I’m betting they actually do care because they’re idiots. Most Asian countries don’t care because it’s normal, and I’ve seen middle easterners, latin americans, africans, and russians (to a lesser extent) wear masks as well in vlogs and political events.
