It's not a "do you get it yet" it's a systematic culture war. It will never be about whats right or anything. It's just is x on my side

facts are increasingly irrelevant. allegiances to lies are far more powerful today. and blind belief in lies is perhaps the most dangerous and powerful mechanism of totalitarian control.

Hitler, in accusing Jewish people of lying, outed himself instead and laid out what would become his lifelong political strategy; ie, pretending to be leftist populist, while making deals with right wing capitalist, in order to gain power.

... thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to largescale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

Listen to what the madmen on the world stage are saying. Take them by their word. More often than not, they themselves laid it all out plain as day.

Their fancy clothes are probably all burnt by now, but it's their own fault, they just shouldn't have attacked the wilderness.

only way to stop a bad guy with a wildfire is with a good guy with a wildfire

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

So definitely not Trump or any of his cronies.

Wildfire bans don't work!

I mean that dude is currently setting the world on fire so why should he do something against existing fires?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, in fact right now he is demanding 20 Billion in climate change funds to be seized from Citibank tasked with distribution, forcing DOJ and FBI to start an investigation despite Judge saying they first have to provide evidence of crime or wrongdoing; which they have not. Another career federal prosecutor resigned over it.

Because he complained endlessly (and nonsensically) about the LA fires and after being elected "turned the faucets back on." In other words: dumped a shitload of water miles away in the central valley during the wet season, nearly destroying the levies. This water will not be available to farmers in the dry season.

The final fucking over of the populace has begun.

In 2017 he didn't have all his ducks in a row. Now he has.

I wonder if we'll ever find out how much money he got out of all this. Maybe in a hundred years.

PS: there's a new wave of wildfires in N/S Carolina this time?

If you still think this is a GOP vs Dems thing, you still don’t get it.

Capitalism cannot reign itself in. Capitalists cannot stop climate change. Stop expecting the people profiting from this to put a stop to it.

They probably didn't vote hard enough.

Trump needs more landscapers to rake the leaves.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't get it.

Trump didn't start the fire. It was clearly Joe Biden.

Trump didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the first I’m hearing about any wildfires on this coast

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I live in the Carolinas and this is the first time I'm hearing about it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Biden was just keeping his seat warm

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Only cares about the things he dislikes.
