Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything is the result of their sky god, while yours is just a fake thing you made up to feel better.
Note the contrast. Their fake thing is meant to make everyone feel worse and guilty enough to let them launder your money into their pockets. Fake Green is a trillion-dollar industry that has used easy access to other people’s money to capture politicians, activists, NGOs, and so-called experts. Bill Nye was an engineer, but he played a science guy on a kids’ show, so he was happy to make money to pretend to be a climatologist.
Anyone well-read on the subject has more authority than almost anyone who claims to be an expert, but you’re just mean and selfish, even though their plan is bad for people, comfort, prosperity, and life on earth.
This is the template, and climate change is responsible for everything except it’s not. There is no rise in storms, severe storms, we aren’t seeing more tornadoes or stronger hurricanes or melting glaciers or iceless poles. Brush fires and wildfires aren’t getting more frequent or severe, but to lean into the headline, they are increasingly started by arsonists or the homeless.
Most major wildfires are a byproduct not of lightning or the Earth’s warming but of left-wing policy. Much the same way liberal victim classes fake hate crimes to bring attention to a problem they created, wildfires are set by environmental activists doing their impression of the SPLC or the homeless, as was presumed to be the case in the Palisades.
Residents called the cops frequently to report that people were setting campfires in parched, dry hills, but the cops couldn’t do anything until it was directing people on how best to escape a rampage that burned thousands of homes over a score of miles, creating an even bigger homelessness problem.
Turns out the most likely suspect is LA resident Jonathan Rinderknecht, whose disposition about the wealthy was inflamed by someone (I don’t know who), and who was also a big fan of Luigi Mangioni.
From New Year’s Eve 2024 to New Year’s Day 2025, Rinderknecht worked as an Uber driver in Los Angeles. Federal authorities said two of his passengers told them “he appeared agitated and angry that night after dropping off a passenger in Pacific Palisades.”
He then allegedly parked his car and tried to contact a former friend. After he couldn’t get a hold of them, officials said he then proceeded to walk up a trail and took videos on his iPhone from a hilltop. At that time, investigators said he “listened to a rap song whose music video included objects being lit on fire.”
Not likely homeless while in LA (can you afford to live in LA working for Uber?), but quite obviously a product of the left-wing outrage factory.
Locally, I caught wind of this story over at Concord Patch (related, unrelated, you decide).
CONCORD, NH — Firefighters extinguished a brush fire not far from the former Steeplegate Mall property on Loudon Road Sunday afternoon.
Just before 5:30 p.m., Concord Fire Alarm began receiving reports of smoke in the area. About three minutes after alerting firefighters, dispatch told them more calls were coming in.
It’s a recurring problem.
“We’ve received multiple calls now,” the dispatcher said, adding, “all the calls are advising it is going to be near the pond and they can see a brush fire.”
A problem that is the result of progressive policies that will take a lot longer to fix than it took to break.
New Hampshire has been in a drought for a good while. Despite the impressive inter-year over-year precipitation totals are down. The odd bit of rainfall isn’t enough to address the risk. A homeless person setting a fire to stay warm won’t be as big a danger as summer approaches, assuming it actually gets here, but a cook fire is no less dangerous.
Dry ground and dry grass, combined with not entirely at their best, unhoused persons, could produce a serious wildfire in the Granite State.
Most of our homeless are crowded into more blue than red cities, so most of the landscape is probably safe, but one windy day is all it takes for things to get out of hand quickly, and if they did, the Demorrhoids would be the first to blame climate change instead of a political party and its obsession with making as many people as possible dependent on them no matter how much damage it does to the human spirit, the culture, and society.
