People continually misrepresent forest fires. They think there's a "fire issue" because there's some forest fires right now.
Canada has massive forests. There is no "fire issue" because forest fires are normal in massive forests. It's not a change, it's how things are.
I'm presently at the site of a major forest fire quite a few years back. It was really bad, nothing left. Today, it's a boreal forest with a developing deciduous forest starting to take over. How? Well, forest fires are normal -- so normal that tree seeds have evolved over countless millennia to require forest fires. The seeds are activated by the fire, which left a nutrient rich ash behind, and the trees start to grow. Many of them shoot up incredibly quickly.
Some people think these fires were cased by arson. Could arson be the cause of this particular fire? Maybe. I don't know, I wasnt there. But it actually doesn't matter. If it didn't catch on fire today it would be tomorrow. Only people in cities who have never lived in nature think forest fires are unusual.
Forest fires are normal and part of the natural lifecycle of the forest, and acting like forest fires are some sort of unusual event or issue or indicator that anthropomorphic climate change is going to wipe out humanity tomorrow and we need to triple the climate tax again is just showing ignorance of nature.

I got reported for "threatening to tell someone to kill themselves" once.
Upon reflection I decided not to ban myself.

It seems to me that a lot of the online legislation relies on the proposition that somebody somewhere is doing something we disagree with and therefore "we should do something!"
We should know from history the danger of "we should do something!" But magically we forget when it's something we care about. :/

I feel like our focus on the 20th century really limits our understanding of the depths of human depravity.
This is an image of two Assyrian soldiers forcing a captured Babylonian to grind the bones of his family.
And you might say "Wow, that's a really mean thing to say about the Assyrians!" No, this is them bragging about doing it in immortal stone form.
This wasn't printed out on a laser printer, it wasn't etched using a laser engraver. It probably took weeks or months to lovingly create this work. They were really proud of their depravity and wanted to share it with the world.

Blaming the refrigerator for the power source seems to be missing the forest for the trees.
But as long as we're NIMBYists, it seems we'll be lost in the forest.

"we support lesbians!" Ok!
"And gays!" Ok
"And bisexuals!" Ok...
"And transsexuals" Ok?
"And the military industrial complex" wait what?
"You hate gays?" I mean, that last one seemed it was different than the rest...
"Hey everyone! This guy hates lesbians!"

I'm a simple man. Whether it's this thing, or a bumble bee, or a horsefly, I go "oh no! Big bug! Big bug bad!"
Religion has gone both ways, even within the same religion. The Muslims and the Christians both had eras where they believed the book was all that should be studies because it's the only true message of God, or believing that the world is a creation of God and so understanding it helps understand God. The Arabs were some of the top scholars on earth in the relatively short time that they were academics, their works restored the wisdom of antiquity in the west. Then they changed their opinion and stopped looking at the world.
Very very good point.
I often call them the "establishment media" instead because that's what they actually are -- tools of the most powerful people on earth to manufacture consent for whatever scam they're running that day.

I don't think anyone told these people, but making people do work for you for free is slavery. Taxing everyone 99% to pay trillions to a tiny minority would, I think, apply.
I almost feel like that's a confession through projection. "This guy is making fascism sound way too good! wouldn't it be great if we sent our coloured cousins home again? Wait--we need to ban this before I-- I mean other people start to agree with it!"
