What, you didn't think those huge forest fires occur because of things like, oh, I dunno, climate change or poor management and not allowing smaller natural fires to occur to temporarily benefit some overly rich assholes living in forested areas?

No, flamethrower helicopters!

Reject climate action

Embrace flamethrower helicopters

We actually use them to clear homeless encampments. Sure, it burns down half the city with the encampment, but it's a small price to pay to make our homeless even more miserable <3
