Right... a less-than-perfect response to unprecedented wildfires is grounds for sweeping condemnation of California governance.

Meanwhile, Texas - the darling of conservatives - can't even manage to provide power during a cold snap. But that's okay somehow.

It's not even so much that you miserable fuckwads have this desperate and entirely destructive need to politicize everything - the really loathsome thing is that you can't even manage to be honest while you're doing it.

You're everything that's wrong with the world, and your grandchildren are going to piss on your grave.

Why is criticizing California and LA's gross mismanagement of the fires so triggering?

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not in and of itself.

Did you really not understand what I said?

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you understand what you said? Angry people make comments like yours. When you decide to go on a hate rant you make your point irrelivent.

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes - assholes who see every tragedy as just another opportunity for another partisan pissing match make me angry, and especially when they're also fucking tunnel-visioned hypocrites.

When this civilization collapses, it's going to be in no small part because they're in there, day after day, diligently chipping away at it. You're fucking right that makes me angry.

So you were triggered by criticisms of LA and California and made some shitty comments. Now you're trying to claim the high road because highlighting the political policies that contributed to this tragedy is somehow bad, even though you were doing just that with Texas.

If you ever want to grow a bit of integrity, ask yourself why you're avoiding what I said and focusing on the fact that I said it.

Anger generates clicks and shares and not much critical thinking. Bank is being made :p

You’re everything that’s wrong with the world, and your grandchildren are going to piss on your grave.

That's not very nice to say!

You seem pretty mad that Harris lost, so you're just gonna go straight to name calling. LMAO

But meh, if my grandkids wanna pee on my grave, I'm cool with it. Thanks!

Lol, rage baiting with shitposts. Sad this is all you have 😏

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org 0 points 1 month ago

Actaully I'm not rage-baiting at all. If you feel rage, that's on you.

And friend, if you are actually feeling "rage" because of something I post, please for your own health, just block me and you won't see me or my posts.

Thanks, friend!

California is a 4 trillion dollar shithole. You compare it with any other 4 trillion dollar economy or country with GDP per capita, there is no excuse for it being a shithole. No bullet trains, a bunch of homeless people, filthy streets, failing electrical grid, can't manage fire preventions, filled with petty criminals who are encouraged to steal while everybody watches them steal. This is what Woke politics does, because it is distraction from the real issues. This 4 trillion dollar economy needs federal government money because they can't do anything except bring up petty issues. What I found out about Woke people and their politics, is that it is just politics; belly aching about imagined injustices, and virtue signaling each other and everybody else, but in reality, they are fake ridiculous people. California has inefficient government because they have an absurd culture.

Your comment is too well articulated to assume you're really naive enough to believe that's a valid comparison. CA is a state in a massive country. What state handled homelessness better? What state has a bullet train?

I agree that CA/LA is poorly managed at many levels, but your arguments are nonsense and it has nothing to do with CA being democratic.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org -1 points 1 month ago

Yep! I agree 100 percent!!
