I do not think Californians deserved this, I really don't think many people would ever deserve something like this.

When you vote for something and get it, how do you not deserve it? Californians not only vote for their critical emergency infrastructure to be torn down, but they scold the rest of us for not being as retarded as them.
 
There's a very simple explanation for this

I think one thing people are forgetting about this whole burning down California thing is that the fire isn't actually killing very many Californians, but it is going to make a whole lot of the homeless and have to go somewhere else. Hundreds of thousands of not millions of Californian refugees. All over America.

Nonsense, they’ll stay out for whatever disaster relief is stolen from the rest of America, while Californians pretend their state is still the richest despite nobody even pretending their pension scheme is going to hold up for decades
 
The pearl clutching about people not caring about the fires is misplaced. There are certainly some people who are gleeful at the destruction, but I think most people are of the mind that it was obvious that decades of single-party corrupt rule that loudly and obnoxiously celebrated efforts to diminish any firefighting efforts would result in this destruction, that much of the country was pointing this out for years, and that the locals now suffering did little to change course.

When Appalachia was flooded by freak tropical storms, people didn’t react the same way because nobody really knew how big of a problem this could be, much less did the local municipalities, states, and voters do nothing in the face of this known risk or actively diminish any potential effort to prevent the risk in the face of the rest of the country pointing it out.

When Florida was hit by hurricanes that caused freak tornadoes, people didn’t react the same way because everybody knew this was a risk, there was preparation and plans to address it, and the efforts by the people voted in by the state and municipalities to address it, though obviously not perfect, were generally adequate. There’s not much you can do to stop a sudden category five hurricane, but the people knew it could happen and the systems put in place to address it generally performed okay.

That’s not the situation in California. And everybody has known it for years. And everybody has pointed it out for years. And in the face of that, the people in California generally acted the same. And now that risk has manifested in a horrible way. It’s not glee to point this out, nor is it morally bad.

Much better chance the homeless realize tens of thousands of well-off people just lost all of their identification and documents and start claiming their own spot in the free-shit lines along with the real victims. I saw that happen in the 2007 San Diego fires.

I agree if theres stuff tying people there, kinda. Maybe born there, maybe too broke to leave, maybe family is there, maybe even super specific work thats only there.

This said if you weren't born there, have lots of money, no family there, and your work is easily transferable, and you STILL refused to leave before then, you are a masochist, and deserve, and clearly want, the pain.
 
Turn the other cheek is human if not a virtue; glee and joy in death and destruction is a sickness.
"Turn the other cheek" Sorry but, you turn the other cheek for things like: accidently stepping on someone's foot or bumping into them or simple miscommunicating. Not "Well your house and all your worldly possessions are ash because all your corrupt politicians spent your taxes on diddling themselves and not wildfire prevention measures." If Californians had any sense they would have already strung up everyone from the mayor to Newsom. Now hopefully Hollywood elites will turn on their government pets in DC for letting their shit burn and put out 5% less propaganda.

No, it also has to do with the inexhaustible copium supply of Californians, their apathy, and their tendency to act elitist, like living in California itself, even in some roach infested valley project, is a form of enlightenment.

Nobody on earth is more cringing and apologetic than California “republicans,” I’m sure they make Syrian Christians look radicalized
