The Covidians have mastered the combination of smug malice and determined stupidity. There's a huge constituency for that. It gives meaning to people with empty lives and smouldering resentments.

Masks are the perfect symbol and perfect fashion accessory for our anxious egalitarian age, where the demand for existential crisis exceeds the supply and where the crucifix is no longer enough to signal you're on the side of the angels.

They're right out of the Harrison Bergeron school of fashion, where the easiest road to Equality is all of us being turned into faceless joyless obedient lumps of conformity.

The Karenocracy will never part with them.
