Going by mask wearing is a losing game. Mask wearing is a cultural thing that has been going on in Japan for a long time. They wear them when they think they may be sick or under the weather, not for protection from disease. It is a sign of courtesy for other people to wear the mask.
While I was there, I hated them and never wore them.
Voluntary mask wearing vs Compulsory
Pyramid of evil:
concentration camps
atomic bomb
wearing masks
Why use a pyramid? All of this evil is just one big blob of darkness and evil. I mean how can you make the levels of the pyramid when there is so much lying about it going on?
obviously I'm being sarcastic
Not quite so obviously because this is what the lefty/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderers like to do: create pyramids of badnesses with all the different levels and gradients. So it is not so obvious if you pay attention to what they say and how they say it.
of course
I was making a bad joke
If you live in Japan, how can you not know that mask wearing is voluntary and not an extension of state power? Either you are not paying attention or you are creating a straw man
Regarding safety I don't know. I didn't live in (South) India enough time, although never had a problem there. Regarding freedom, I meant in everyday life. Maybe you would prefer "lack of rules". An example which comes to mind, try to launch fireworks in the sky in a city in Japan you run into troubles. Call that freedom or lack of rules. When individuals have more room to behave I am tempted to call that freedom.
Another fun example: try to ride a bicycle in Japan with 2 people, you will have the police calling you. Not in India.
India has more freedom than Japan?
What's next, India is safer than Japan?
edit: a woman is more likely to be raped in India than Japan and it's not even close
