Love her, but it was antifa with gas cans, chainsaws, and matches.

And it was ecological terrorists in Aussie land.

In the end the land was probably cleared cheaper than the state could have done it with all their wacky regulations

I live in an area of Australia with those fires, happens every ten years or so. If you live in the area you know it. Kinda like if you work in fin markets theres a recession/correction every 10 years or so.

Both are natural in occurence, but further fueled in their impact by self centred fuckwits

It just boggles my mind how no one has adapted to living in a high risk brush fire area outside of letting everything burn while running away.

They have adapted until their retarded government regulated those adaptations in the name of environmentalism. They all used to clear trees to create fire breaks that would stop the flames from spreading/destroying their lands. There is a guy who refused to go along with the prohibition against clearing the trees who was fined tens of thousands of dollars whose property survived while everything else burned around him.

Bingo. Same thing during the Vic bushfires last year. Guess who told us we were no longer allowed to backburn our dry dead vegetation.

The local greens government.

Aboriginals have been back burning for thousands of years. Maybe we can't do it because it's cultural appropriation?

In Aussyland you are not allowed to cut down a tree ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY. It's that bad. Cutting a single tree is like thousands in fines. They USED to do controlled burning. Then leftard government shut it down. Everything that happens is a result of their government NOT letting them fix the problem in the first place.

I meant in terms of housing construction because they also pull that crap to northern Californians even though they the government live NOWHERE near the fires themselves (while also taking away their water).

They were setting fires to everything else during that time so thinking they caused the forest fire is an obvious next step conclusion

Yeah, why use space lasers when you have idiots available?

Besides, I think there would be some serious physics issues with that. Thermal blooming and shit like that. But I could be wrong.
