This is propaganda because
This is propaganda due to the fact because it is quite literally making fun of anti-maskers and their main argument that wearing a mask is infringing on their rights. It plays at there are so many things that people don't necessarily want to do but that they will do them anyway for their safety. Wearing a mask serves for the greater good to save yourself from getting covid and If you have it, from spreading it to others. With the example of the seatbelt and the car accident it shows that reckless actions can lead to catastrophic consequences and with this image that is the truth and reality for many anti-maskers who realize when it's too late that they were wrong.
