Bruh. I'm very dense at times and I got it.
1. 99% of the world uses the Metric system. So the 6 ft apart thing has no real meaning except here in the US. Its literally a big ball of nothing.
2. Nowadays most of the world doesn't even believe in Satan on a general level, except perhaps in an ironic/sarcastic/paodic sense used just to troll with true believers.
3. Asian countries have long worn masks to reduce the spread of disease LONG BEFORE covid came around and they have never even heard of Satan. Therefore Masks are not in and of themselves symbolic of the devil here. Again its a whole bunch of nothing.
In other words, these points the other person brought up provide evidence that the covid system isn't inherently linked to satanic rituals, by providing examples of convergent behaviors and practices.
1. The customary system predates the metric system, and considering it's preeminence in the US and Britain (yes it's still colloquially used there) there's no reason 6ft couldn't be symbolic for something else.
2. Ok? The elites aren't "most of the world" and they certainly believe in many esoteric things that the masses don't.
3. Satanists and esoteric ritualists also have been wearing masks for far longer. Just because "people in Asia" did it for other reasons doesn't mean there's no symbolic reason the whole world is being forced to do it now.
In other words things you call "evidence" remain totally immaterial to the discussion.
Our road signs are in yards and miles. Our cars fuel economy is recorded in miles to the gallon, we order beer in pints, and if you ask someone how tall they are they will tell you in feet and inches. Ask them how much they weigh they'll answer in stones and lbs. There are 14lbs in a stone, 16oz in a lb.
We also bury people 6ft under.
For many, if you tell them they have to stay 2 metres apart, they'll only know what it means because they know that a metre and a yard are very similar. 2 metres = 2 yards (3ft in a yard, therefore 6ft).
I wish we still had the pre-decimal money system. 12 pennies in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound.... farthing, ha'penny, penny, thru'pence, tanner (sixpence), bob (shilling), 2 bob (florin), half a crown (2 shillings and sixpence), crown (5 bob/shillings), 10 bob and so on... simple!
That said, we use Celsius for how cold it is eg -5, and Fahrenheit for how hot it is eg 80 degrees.
So the EU insisted we had to advertise and calibrate in litres. But there are approx 5 litres to the gallon (our gallon is larger than a US gallon), so many people do a mental conversion. I f I put 65 litres of petrol in my car, I know it's about 13 gallons.
