    Do you, a community member, organize with other community members to exclude the non-masker from social events and community spaces until they decide to mask?

    Is that not hierarchical too?
    And what do you do if they do not allow themselves to be excluded from community spaces?

    Are you not bringing in hierarchy when you give yourself and your group the power to choose whether the person or group who disagrees should be excluded from community spaces?

    And what do you do when they do not agree? Do you jail them? Do you harm them or threaten violence?

    Are you not creating/exposing the hierarchy by choosing to exclude those parts of your community from community spaces for disagreeing with you?

    a doctor designated via the community as an expert and thus given narrow, organic, retractable social authority to do so, say “you need to wear a mask”?

    So, again a power hierarchy in the matter of medicine, where you a lay person has lesser power?

    And the people opposing the masking, will not be agreeing with that doctor, right? So not designated by the all of the community as a expert in that specific topic then.
    If the person acknowledged the expertise, then the issue would not persist, right?

    Do you threaten or propagandise someone that they would not oppose that position and obey it then? Power hierarchy again, right?
