I'm trying to remember what that rifle over the star is from, but I'm drawing a blank. It's obviously reminiscent of the RAF:

But I feel like this is just a generic commie insurgency appearance. It's not the FARC, it's not Shining Path, it's not Che shit; I can't remember where it's stripped from at all.
But it really is fascinating. It's oxymoronic - yes, yes, sure, it's a pun, but you're contrasting 'proletariat' with... a puppet of the music industry? An exorbitantly wealthy person for whom waste is the name of the game? Yes, yes, rich kids adopting the language of the working class and pretending desperately to be proletariat has been the name of the game of virtually every revolutionary "vanguard" in existence, but it still boggles the brain to have this contradiction laid out in such a vapid, oxymoronic, consumerist manner and to STILL have it escape them.
Were you perhaps thinking of the
Mozambique Flag?

Cheong will probably be banned soon.
Is that the guy who did a facebook live broadcast immediately after the shooting while in the vicinity of the shooting where he was laughing and showing cars that were driving down the street? That dude pretty obviously wasn't the shooter but uh...
If facebook live guy and this guy are one and the same so I have a strong suspicion there was an easy solution to his "problem".
If not then IMC is a tard, news at 11. He's been useful lately but he's still very much a tard and will regress to the mean.
Professional foresters are always bitching, at least offline, that most of America's forests weren't here when Europeans got here and we're really fucking up by keeping them everywhere. It's more nuanced than that, but I am an engineer and can't be bothered to look into it.
It's definitely more nuanced, from what I've gleaned over the years the basic argument goes that forests didn't exist as any of us know them because nature was allowed to do its thing. As a result fires didn't tend to have piles of litter feet deep which are a big part of how everything goes up in flames and stays like that, and the fires themselves wouldn't burn for as long or as hot. As a result the overall destruction wouldn't be as severe, it would clear out the litter, wouldn't scorch the earth so severely that trees have trouble regrowing, to say nothing to trees being able to survive the fire while some smaller trees and dead trees would not, which spaced things out somewhat better than uncontrolled growth allows for, which in turn helps keep fires from being a fucking nightmare.
That said, the root cause we have is people wanna live in the woods.
There's nothing inherently wrong with living in the woods. It's nice in the woods.
Until the woods turn into a firestorm, so the recent history of forest management (think past century or so) has been a see-saw of generally bad decisions, from "keep fires from spreading we wanna be in the woods" (this builds up detritus) to "oh fuck that is a bad idea let it burn" to "oh fuck letting it burn when we gave it several extra decades of fuel is BAAAAAAD" all of which has to then be balanced with the people living in the woods which dictates a level of fire suppression to prevent loss of life which continues to let the tinder build up. To say nothing of the overbroad protection laws environmentalists have pushed and passed. If you can't manage the forest because it's illegal...well fuck.
Compound this with the more recent proliferation of the bark beetle which kills trees and provides ever better fuel in the form of huge swathes of dead, dry, trees and we've got a bunch of firetraps especially in the western US. I don't want to speculate as to why the beetle is proliferating because frankly it doesn't matter and is just a climate change rabbit hole because everything gets turned into that by environmentalists, but the results cannot be ignored whatever the cause.
The answer to the problem is forest management, real-ass-fucking-forest-management. That requires the boots of hard men working hard on the fucking ground, and lots of them at least initially, and "initially" could be years because of the state of things. That takes money to pay people, and lots of it. Because that kind of management at least initially would be very involved and due to accessibility issues limits the machinery available to help so you need manual labor and lots of it. After all, you need to undo decades of fuckshit built by overprotective environmentalists (protecting like you do doesn't work, fuckos) and shortsighted Republicans (cutting funding to "useless programs" has had
some bad outcomes) which exacerbates the see-sawing of what the fuck we're doing with the forests.
Basically we need to pay the fucking piper and be smart about it or it will ALL burn, and if we don't work to then ensure the areas which get scorched are managed AFTER they get cleared by massive fires, we'll be right back where we started...
Sorry, that was a lot of text unrelated to the riots and I can't claim it was completely organized thoughts, but this is one topic that gets me on a tilt.
