Your neighbor's house is on fire, do you:
- Call the firefighters, maybe try and help yourself, provide comfort and shelter until they can figure out what's next.
- Call in a complaint about the smoke.

In our age, a depressing number of people would choose option 2. We as a society are getting more & more selfish each year.
I don't know about that. People have been saying similar things since Socrates, but normality has always continued.
The new American foreign policy, though, clearly is that selfish.
Normality may have always continued but it constantly changes. What was normal back in ancient Greece is not what is normal today. I think it was Camus who said that the word "normal" should always be used with quotation marks. That being said, regardless of where you are in history, human nature has remained a constant.
Interesting. I do see that done sometimes, but I always feel like it's denying the existence of abnormal, which is not helpful when you're it and you know.
That's all true. And a simple corollary is that modern people, including your favourite ones, would do all the messed up shit from history if it was culturally condoned.
You're half right, but it's the concept of "normal" that even makes "abnormal" a thing. If you stop believing in "normal" we're all just people and no one is abnormal cause we're all just ourselves.
It's actually freeing in my opinion. "Normal" is mostly used as a cudgel to exclude those deemed "abnormal".
Nah, the cudgel is when you get actively, materially excluded from things and opportunities because people don't get you. I get the intention, but reframing it that way makes me feel erased, not better.
Your own house is on fire, fix that then complain at us, till then SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP! oh, and also, FUCK OFF!
There are too many shit takes (from the Repugnicans) in that article for me to go into, jfc
Sounds like they're asking for someone to add up all the air pollution that's flowed across the border in the past 150 years and find out which country has had the worst of it.
Smoke deficit!! Oh no! Pay up Canadians!
Votes for O&G interests -> Continues the slaughtering of our nature, worsening climate change -> Forests burn more uncontrollably -> Complains
Big brain move there Republicunts
If Republican lawmakers have a problem with wildfires, maybe they should try getting environmental policies that aren't going to cause more of them.
Statements from self centered idiots.
Damn I'm tired of this timeline, fast forward to the guillotine
