The Left is On Fire: We Don’t Need No Water, Let the MF Burn

It is remarkable to watch the incineration of the left around the world. From California to Canada to Europe you can hear their shrieks emanating from the flaming pyre.

This is almost literally true in California, where the horrific fires in Los Angeles are a veritable bonfire of leftist vanities. For years the self-satisfied, sanctimonious, supposedly superior leftist “elite” has pursued a governing agenda that focused on everything but performing the basic functions of good government. Among these environmental wackiness and DEI have been most prominent.

The environmental wackiness includes privileging some marginal meaningless species of smelt rather than responsibly using and conserving precious water supplies or the construction of reservoirs necessary to supply water for, you know, fighting fires and other irrelevant stuff. (In an ironic twist, it didn’t save the smelt–you can’t make this shit up if you try).

It also includes grotesque forest management practices that create tinderboxes ready to explode due to acts of God, or more likely man (through arson or accident), all in the name of preserving other wildlife (which ends up being incinerated when the tinderboxes erupt), or even more absurdly, of reducing CO2 emissions. (Note to the stupid: letting dead timber rot instead of burn only affects the timing of CO2 release).

The left blames California’s chronic fire problems on climate change. Even granting that dubious premise, a perceived threat of the dire effects of climate change should have led California to redouble efforts at mitigating them, through better water and forest management. If it is as existential threat, as the California left insists, act like it! But they have not. To the contrary.

So what is it? Do they not really believe in climate change? Do they use it as an excuse to divert resources to their real priorities? To camouflage their totalitarian agenda? Or are they just dumb as dirt?

These are observationally equivalent. I’ll leave it up to you to make your own choice.

The DEI dumbness is epitomized by a LA Fire Department that gloats how its lesbian-dominated “leadership” has broken glass ceilings. In case you haven’t noticed, the signs on fire alarms and equipment don’t say “In Case of Fire, Break Glass Ceiling.” And when the alarms have been pulled, the response has been catastrophically incompetent.

In another example of its bad effect do goodism, insurance companies attempted to raise rates to reflect the greater risks and costs of fire (a rational response). To protect its citizens from such unconscionable price gouging, California said no. To which many insurers said, OK, we just won’t sell your citizens insurance, thereby making the cost of private insurance infinite. Thanks, California! (Which is what the insurers who left are now saying, because the fire-related claims ain’t their problem).

I could go on. And on. And on (repeat ad infinitum). Yet the California left presumes to assert its superiority of the rest of us in flyover country, and incessantly attempts to impose its regulatory and legal insanity on the rest of the nation.

The other major leftist vanity bonfire is in Europe and the UK. There the fire starter has been Elon Musk, with an assist from Mark Zuckerberg.

Musk has been holding Labour’s feet to the fire over the appalling Muslim child rape gangs, and especially the official coverup thereof. A coverup that has run for over a decade and has involved virtually the entirety of British officialdom from local Plods to the Prime Minister (in his current incarnation, and his previous one as Crown Prosecutor).

Musk’s X posts have indeed been incendiary, and Labour and its media lackeys have burst into incandescent rage.

BREAKING:

The Mirror reports that the UK government’s counter-extremism unit has launched a probe in Elon Musk’s posts about the coverup of the migrant rape gang scandal in the country.

Yes, terrorism. That’s it.

Musk’s real crime is lese majeste. How dare he scorn such eminentos as Starmer and Phillips!?!?! How dare he broadcast our failures?!?!?!

But as is his wont when challenged, Starmer is unleashing the entire state apparatus to go after his critic.

Methinks that he will find the world’s richest man who is tight with the soon-to-be-President of the US a little more of a challenge than a few Southport yobs.

Maybe Starmer should challenge Musk to a fight.

On second thought.

This panties-in-a wad bunch is threatening to end the US-UK “special relationship” over Musk’s insolence (and Trump’s dogpiling).

Oh, would that mean that the CIA couldn’t use MI5 and MI6 to spy on Americans? Your terms are acceptable!

And since the UK military is imploding, just who will defend them, especially against the Russians that the UK claims will rampage to the North Sea if not stopped in Ukraine?

The EU is also going up in flames over Musk. Germany, for example, is on fire because Musk had the audacity to interview the head of the AfD.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!!! OUR PRECIOUS DEMOCRACY IS UNDER THREAT BECAUSE PEOPLE MIGHT FIND OUT THAT THE AFD LEADER IN FACT SOUNDS MORE REASONABLE THAN EVERY MAINSTREAM GERMAN POLITICIAN!!!!

Speaking of precious democracy, the EU admittedly engineered the cancelation of Romania’s presidential election because there was a risk that benighted Romanians might elect a promulgator of Wrongthink.

Former EU Commissioner admits that the EU was responsible for the cancellation of the elections in Romania

The world left is also in hysterics over Zuckerberg’s termination of “fact checking” (or, as I call it, “fact” fuckery). Again, the benighted cannot be exposed to possible Wrongthink! They must have their information curated and spoonfed to them by known liars and partisan hacks, as long as these are made men and women in the establishment. Otherwise, who knows what ideas will get through the hoi polloi’s thick skulls!

(NB: Zuckerberg’s statement is an implicit admission that the allegations of US government censorship of social media are 10000 percent true).

The threat emanating from evil American social media giants may result in the erection of the Great Firewall of Europe.

Good luck with that.

By the way, why are there no European social media giants? Or tech giants generally?

Just curious.

Here’s Europe’s real problem (and the left’s generally):

The truth that the leftist project is going down in flames because it is an abject failure, always and everywhere. All the censorship in the world can’t conceal that fact. There are too many fires of dissent for them to put out.

Unlike LA, we don’t need no water. Let the motherfucker burn. To the ground. Because if it isn’t destroyed, it will destroy us.
