Seatbelt laws ruffled some feathers but I also don't recall that bein' a hangin' offense.
People just don't like being told what to do. We are surrounded by adult sized toddlers.
I think a lot of the American mentality of "You are not going to tell me what to do" has to do with our daily constant bombardment of self entitlement marketing and the use of the word "freedom".
You are exactly right on all your examples.
I can remember when I was a kid my mom bitching about seatbelt laws.Which was ironic, because she always made me wear mine. Late in her life she finally accepted it was a good thing. But she mainly wore it after it became law to avoid a ticket. Sure that is good, but understanding why is equally if not more important than simply obeying.
It shouldn't take a government mandate forcing people to wear masks in public. It should be about knowing one can carry the virus and spread it to others without knowing. But the mandates are happening because too many are not listening to doctors and science.
One has the "freedom" to drive as long as they don't break traffic laws, especially drinking and driving. And that is how wearing a masked should be viewed. One has the freedom to go outside and even shop sure. But you wear a mask(seat belt) and don't drink and drive while out.)
The anti maskers are simply insecure and don't understand that it is for their own safety.
Just today I saw two different stories on Twitter where one guy stabbed someone because they were denied entry into a store and stabbed a customer. And another guy flashed his gun to a fast food employee. Sick, sick, sick.
And I don't get it in any case. If a doctor or nurse outside a pandemic can wear a mask on a daily basis for a shift or double shift, how hard is it to put on a mask as a civilian in public?
You hit the nail on the head.

mask is almost useless, the physical distancing should be better for everyone involved.

What an intriguing assessment that virtually every medical professional disagrees with.

I’ve read a lot of data about face masks, both pro and con. on balance, it seems they are largely pointless. as I understand it, the virus particles are so small that they pass through the filter of even an N95 mask, which provides less than 10% protection against the ChiCom flu.

No, you clearly haven’t read data on masks and you don’t understand how they work, or you wouldn’t say such stupid, stupid things.

Most people are too scientifically illiterate to understand how truly small viruses are and how ineffective a homemade clothe mask is. I think part of requesting or requiring a mask to be worn is meant to insult the dignity of the wearer, and part of if is meant to show mindless compliance with authority.

The WHO, the CDC, Johns Hopkins, and the Mayo Clinic all disagree with you.

Your appeal to dignity and anti-authoritarian stance is very telling and reckless with other people’s lives
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Who means to insult the dignity of the wearer? What does that accomplish?
