Gaslighting is when someone lies to convince you of something they know is not true. The people who are telling you these things do not feel the same way about COVID as you. You are not being gaslit. You are being confronted with a perspective different than your own.
People can be angry for all kinds of reasons. If you prove to someone that failing to mask indoors in public kills people, and that person gets angry, it’s because they know that they’re killing people deep down and they don’t want to hear the truth from you since it’s embarrassing.

Ok, they’re passing down the gaslighting they’ve recieved.
They know it’s not true because they get angry if you disagree with them.
If you’re a “people who don’t wear masks are doing genocide” type I don’t think you want to go with “anger indicates someone is lying”.
People who don’t wear masks are doing genocide.
And since you’re mad about that does that indicate that your are lying?
I’m angry at the normalization of genocide.
And is that the only reason someone can be angry without lying?

And it’s not possible that they’re angry for a different reason? Like they see their friend’s mental health spiraling?
You’re right. I corrected my question. I do hear people be willfully ignorant about horrifying effects of Covid though.
