It's actually honestly disgusting some of the responses I've seen around the LA fires.

Firstly - the whole eat the rich "I have no empathy as it's mainly rich people" shit is sickening.

The majority of people in LA are not the elite. Yes, a lot of rich people are affected, but these rich people aren't the elite that eat the rich is about. Most of these rich people pre fire are closer to homelessness than the elite.

Also the homes of people who aren't rich have been destroyed too. So many homes of middle class to lower class people have been burnt down.

California's first middle class black suburb is being burnt down.

Some of the reason as to why I think this rhetoric is spread around so much is a mixture of the general false perception that LA is a rich person city (its not) and the media making so many stories about different rich celebrities who have evacuated and homes have burnt down.

Also, yes, even those who are rich but not elite could rebuild a lot quicker than those who aren't but yall are also forgetting that it's not just the homes which are being destroyed with everything inside intact. Everything is burnt when a house is destroyed. Sentimental items are being destroyed by the fire.

Secondly - the different conspiracy theories are sickening.

I've already made a post debunking the one that Israel caused the fire through ecocide. And today I saw another one that it's all a ploy to prevent more names connected to p Diddy from being released as his mansion burnt down.

This is not some rich elite ploy to prevent more names being released. California has had bad wildfires for YEARS.

May I also remind everyone that the whole "elite group of people pulling strings to destroy shit to control the world" literally stems from the antisemitic conspiracy theory that jews control the world. Idc that people have replaced jews with people connected to Diddy, you're still using something which was popularized to oppress jews.

Another conspiracy theory I saw today was that the reason the fires haven't been contained is because firefighters donated equipment to Ukraine.

Like ah yes, the miniscule amount of equipment that fire stations have not yet replaced (as they replaced a lot) is totally the reason for the fires being so bad and not because of climate change (sarcasm).

A lot of yall harp on about needing to do more for the environment, yet when an event proving climate change is at an all time worse, you decide to ignore that it's climate change which caused it and that it's actually in fact a bunch of conspiracy theories.

You all need to buy the below and get a fucking grip on reality

Love the clowns in reblogs who try to juggle terms and state that Ukrainains are experiencing xenophobia and not racism. Even though:

Ukraine never took part in colonialism, it mostly fought for its sovereignty and the right to, well, speak and teach in its own language in its own land.

Most of these yappers had no idea about where Ukraine even was before the war and didn't give a fuck about what russia has been doing.

Most of these yappers doesn't actually care about racism and xenophobia. They don't give a fuck about any meaning behind these words. They just pretend to be righteous on the internet for the brownie points and would kick any fitting victim in the ribs.

Most of these yappers screeches "racism!" as soon as anyone is mean to russians online.

Most of these yappers belongs to the country that elected a fascist and racist guy because it's easier to talk big words online and gather likes than take a stand and be active in their own political life. Oh, and also no candidate was good enough for them, so they just gave their political opponents the win so they could roleplay as rebels without any risk to themselves - while the rest of the words suffers from them failing as citizens and as people. But yeah, Ukrainians who kept paying the price for getting away from an extremely chauvinistic and racist soviet heritage are the worst, sure /s

My mother's first home was a refugee camp. Her mother was sold on a Nazi slave market.

I have dead relatives on Ukrainian battlefields. We can't get them back because russia has colonised the regions.

One relative was taken hostage by the bastard russians and tortured for 2.5 years.

The word "slave" actually means "Slavic person". The word "genocide" was invented in Lviv.

An Amnesty International guy chased my mother through a shopping mall, yelling at her that she was a "stupid white woman who wouldn't know what a refugee is".

Ukrainians aren't allowed to talk about the racism we get every single fucking day because we're "too white".
