Please be nice, I’m kind of new here. I am in the unvaccinated category of things and I can’t help but notice something that is perplexing. I’ve recently been getting into natural healing, chakras and understanding energy. I’m also very crunchy (natural minded) and avoid pharmaceuticals as much as possible. So, I’ve been visiting metaphysical/hippy shops and most are mask nazi’s. I don’t understand why though. I’m also a follower of the sub Reddit witches vs the patriarchy and over there they seem to believe in the masks the vaccines and anything else the Cdc says. The same goes for a similar group I’m in on Facebook. These are people who believe that we are all forms of energy and to a degree that energy can be manipulated. They often believe that nature provides all that we need. There are protection spells for instance. If they believe in natural healing then why follow the mainstream guidance. How in the hell did a bunch of natural minded hippies get brainwashed into following the narrative? Without much judgement can someone please help me understand why? Or how?
