Masks are dehumanising -- they minimise one's individuality, while emphasising one's group identity.

They are the government's band-aid solution to their first mistake of lockdown. When a mistake is used to correct an earlier mistake, an unstable situation results. Satan casts our Satan and a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.

In this podcast I discuss the errors of the Conservative government under Prime Minister Boris Johnson, mimetic rivalry and the Scapegoat mechanism of Rene Girard, and I attempt to explain why the only real solution to a mistake is to admit it and turn around to face the issue and rectify the situation.
