Add in that so much of the state is burning that you can see it from space,

And I'd have to say that God is beginning to feel a bit "old testamentish" toward the golden state. The locusts are gonna be fun, but I'm excited about the plague of frogs.

It used to be common knowledge that removing excess dead growth was key to preventing forest fires. But then Trump mentioned it and it instantly became "settled science" that forest management was a right wing conspiracy theory. They get what they deserve.

California used to do controlled burns before the Democrats banned them. They used to have a nuclear power plant in San Onofre that provided 20% of the power to large portions of Southern California too before the Democrats shut it down.

I studied earth and planetary science back in the early 2000s. The thought then was working to prevent forest fires was causing unnatural fire conditions through out the state. It created islands of old and new growth forcing a heterogenous distribution. This is actually a culmination of a few caved-in brain philosophies pushed by the borderline personality disorder environmentalists that in my opinion are some of the worst misanthropes you can imagine.

I was of the mind that it was true that forest management was messing with a natural balance of nature but that it was too fuckin’ late to pretend that letting it return to a natural cycle as it would for sure kill people. These environmentalist view humans as aliens from another planet that have zero place on Earth. We are a foreign parasite. It’s disgusting. If I suggest that maybe their fevered utopian dream of sentimental, rosy, imagery is a delusion and dangerous then I must be a denier if some kind.

There is a mind virus going on and it’s convinced people that thinking in sentimental terms is good. I think of it as an effeminancy of philosophy. It only cares about how things look and how they make you feel and when things go wrong it’s more important that you don’t yell than find solutions because that makes them feel bad. Also you are mean and didn’t really give them a chance—as the state burns down.

I know this sounds misogynist but it’s what it fuckin’ is. You want to know what the world would be like if it is run by women? It wouldn’t last long and it would still be your fault.

This sort of attitude has sadly become the norm in all sorts of environmental and life sciences these days; Humans a a plague, Humans are awful, Humans are the worst, etc.

Yet, humans are awesome. They are the only species which has the self-awareness to curtail it's own development because it realizes it impacts other living organisms. No other creature even comes close to being this kind-hearted.

Jordan Peterson was absolutely correct when he said that post-Marxists "hate the idea of being altogether", which is the most intense and vile hatred one could ever posses.

Slavoj Zizek opened my eyes to this. He said that ecology is a religion that views humans as things dropped into a perfect homeostatic environment that serves only to disrupt it. Environmentalism as it exists now is misanthropic. For it to reach its ultimate goal it would need a final solution. And like useful idiots and like minded “religious” zealots, the stilted environmentalist don’t even realize that they are first on the chopping block in the NWO when those grabbing power decide they are no longer needed.

Edit: I forgot the best part from Slavoj Zizek. He said (paraphrased) “We need to redefine nature. Rather than it being a thing that exists separate from humans that they mess up it needs to be described as a series of unimaginable catastrophes they we are now benefitting from.” I liked this take because this is reality. Our most fertile farmland exists because it was once underwater, the Hawaiian islands are an explosion of fire and ash, the white cliffs of Dover are literally the skeletons of trillions of dead animals.

I’ve noticed a culture on the left and in young people that says it’s very clever to defy common sense.

Take universal basic income. On its face it would obviously never work because people suck and would only lead to inflation, mass elective unemployment, and a huge tax burden. The left thinks that because everyone else can recognize how bad of an idea it is, they’re clearly smarter for supporting it.

It’s like they’ve conditioned themselves to value nonconformity above all else. When their big ideas fail big, they have no choice but to admit they were wrong, or double down with more bad ideas.

I believe Native Americans even did controlled burns.

lerm4comptroller 17 points ago +20 / -3

... Define "controlled." There's evidence that several Native tribes burned down forests for better hunting, but I highly doubt it was as some sort of strategy to clear undergrowth and manage the forests.

Indians were basically cavemen that lived in shitty tents I doubt they had any understanding of forest management

You seriously should check out something called a "search engine"

Here is just one result of thousands. https://www.fs.fed.us/ne/newtown_square/publications/technical_reports/pdfs/2000/274%20papers/kay274.pdf

California would rather save bird instead of people.

They slaughter millions of birds annually with their "green energy" wind farms and the solar bird vaporizer out in the Mojave Desert.

Wind Farms are Bird Murderers. We really ought to make this a thing. If we thought like democrats we would

Plus the huge solar farms suck tons of moisture out of the air (hmmm🤔, could this be contributing to our drought situation?). It also burns me to see once beautiful areas dotted with crappy looking, broken-down wind machines.

The Democommies would like to dot every square inch of CA with solar panels and wind machines. They truly believe all electricity for the State will be generated this way (what the hell is wrong with natural gas?) They are truly, certifiably, insane.

It started long before President Trump. California Democrats banned controlled burns many years ago while I was still living there. The results were predictable and we are seeing it play out now. We are seeing the same shit from the same Democrats here in Oregon too.

You from cali? So far only people I have met that know about the Chinese real estate connection are locals that "have more documents" than Alex Jones, lol. I used to work for a company that did.interior design for flippers. Anything from little guys to the multi multi multi millionaire companies. Most of my big clients were bitching about the Chinese buying up cali for a song back in 2009.

The Chinese laundered a good portion of their money through the Vancouver real estate market and the casinos here in British Columbia, Canada.

They started in California at the exact same time. It was mostly the same people using different fake business entities.

Back when I lived in Orange County a large percentage of the new homes were being bought by Chinese nationals. They would send their kids to college there and have them live in the homes they had purchased. Those homes weren't cheap either.

You should see what has happened now that they have discovered RIT's. The real estate investment trusts are full of Chinese money and own a lot of the rentals here. It's crazy

I believe this is happeneing everywhere there is riots as well.

Property value goes down, china swoops in to buy it all.

I think they do this with homeless people too.

The idiots will just cry "Cliiimate Chaaaange!" and act as if they were right all along, as if forest fires are some new thing that have not been happening every year for millions of years.

The problem is they just want to "let nature be" and as long as they do that, these fires will still keep happening.

5
TD_Covfefe_Crusader 5 points ago +5 / -0

They are already doing that. We have a local forest fire burning here that was set by an arsonist, but that hasn't stopped the Democrats from spewing their Climate Change bullshit. Those idiots will take literally anything and turn it into the result of muh Climate Change.

"It's unseasonably warm. Muh Climate Change."

"The berries came in late this year because it was a cold Spring. Muh Climate Change."

Pretty sure two thirds of california caught herpes off of tinder. Does that qualify as boils and sores? When do all the first born come out as trans?

*The parts that burn are generally in the rural areas. Farms large parcels of land, generally Trump country. In San Diego, the area on fire includes a range and many Trump signs, flags etc.

*Newscum has said many times that he thinks california should take over the electric company. This is still phase 2 of his plan.

*PG &E are already convicted felons Convicted of killing people, but California passed laws allowing them to forward their fines onto customers.

Yup. I remember that pg&e bull crap. Nobody believed me when I was trying to get them to vote, and nobody understood how their electric bill went to $700.00
