Suddenly The World's Problems Are Not Caused By US

Post by Ben Zonia » Mon Jul 03, 2023 9:57 am

It can't be Freedom of Speech and the Right To Bear Arms, because those are long since largely abrogated in Canada, France, and other countries, if they ever existed at all.

The wildfires are mainly in Canada, largely started by arsonists and ecoterrorists, and made possible by poor forest management. Government is a big part of the problem. Climate change, if any, is but a small contributor.

Riots are now occurring in much of France, and spreading to Belgium, Switzerland, and other countries. Apparently, Peaceful France and Neutral Switzerland can't stop it.

The US and us are NOT the major source of the world's problems, if we ever were.

People hate America because we are perceived as "rich" and somehow that is the cause of their problems.
Americans hate rich people because they have a lot of money and somehow that fact is the cause of their problems.

Actually it’s more like… gee .0001% of what you have and I’d be set and you can’t spare even half that. Rich fuck.

As for the conspiracy comments above… not even gonna go there.

Canadians traveling abroad are always advised to wear a maple leaf so as not to be mistaken for American.

There was a time when a net worth of $1MM would provide for you for life. You could put it in Passbook Savings and easily make $50000 a year. Now, that ".0001%" is the INTEREST. And the stock market, once a fairly safe bet, where people put 401Ks and such because of low bank interest, is a rollercoaster AT BEST. And when you need it, will it be way down? You are correct, 50% of $1B wouldn't be missed like 50% of even $5MM, the current threshold of "Rich". But it kills incentive to create wealth and jobs, and make thousands of construction jobs building 10000 square foot homes.

I was in a town the other day known as one percenter territory, and I swore I'd never go back, because you could tell their sneering disdain for those with even slightly less than they.

So Canada's claims that most of the wildfires currently burning were started by lightning strikes is a load of BS in your opinion?

Some may be caused by lightning strikes, but there are a lot of ecoterrorists doing stuff like that to promote their agenda.

Remote doesn’t mean population 500… it means places the firefighters won’t go. And there are no roads or people. This has ALWAYS happened in Canada. Drier conditions and warmer temperatures have exacerbated a natural phenomenon. Sorry bout your luck.

Sure eco-terrorists are out there, but do you have any evidence tying them specifically to "most" of Canada's wildfires?

If there is any evidence, the Canadian news media is suppressing it. I haven't even heard any allegations to that effect.

A quick google search says there's 510 fires burning in Canada right now. That's an awful lot of eco-terrorism to get away with without getting caught if that was indeed the cause.

The problem right now is that there's just plain a lot of dry fuel right now to burn.

The only terrorists in those parts of Canada are the black flies.

I will be eager to hear the explanation of how eco-terrorists created sea level rise.

I thought you hated our traffic in Traverse City. Seriously, thank you for another conservative victim post. Keep them up crybaby.
