The Fires and the Fuck-Heads

 


Walking home from work last night my throat started to feel really sore.  From Toronto having the worst air quality in the world.  From the smoke and soot caused by the giant forest fires that are burning out of control in northern Ontario.  From global warming.

Many people are rightly blaming this disaster upon the fossil fuel companies, who have known for decades that this sort of thing was going to happen, but, being dedicated to "profit maximization" chose to deflect and deny.

As wildfires raged across Canada on Thursday, sending dangerous smoke across the border into major US cities, climate advocates called for accountability for the fossil fuel industry, which knew for decades that its products were largely responsible for the climate crisis, yet chose to push climate denial instead.
 Also, blame the politicians; ALL OF THEM, from the Conservatives to the Liberals to the NDP who are either the actual representatives of the fossil-fuels criminals or merely afraid of them.

But also blame the right-wing shit-heads.  The everyday, ordinary, salt-of-the-earth, working class chumps who concoct stupid theories from out of the lies and evasions of self-interested oligarchic scum, that deny the reality of global warming.  Blame these stupid assholes for being stupid assholes.  Blame them for denying global warming.  Blame them for denying the reality of COVID 19.  Blame them for worshipping disgusting grifters like Donald Trump and Doug Ford.  Blame them for their stupidity, ignorance, hypocrisy, delusion and their total lack of principles.

[Doug Ford allowed Ontario's wildland firefighters, pilots and support staff to fall to 61% readiness because of course he did.  That fat fuck is only good for lining his own greasy pockets.  But up until recently, there were still bigots and other ignoramuses who would stand in line for a $5 hotdog and get their picture taken with the guy who'd let them die in a hospital hallway.]
