ishtar79You know, I really didn't want to make a post about this. But then it occurred to me that the event is covered enough in world news that someone may actually get worried, so, yeah.
I'm in no danger personally-I never thought the day would come that I'd be grateful for central Athens being completely tree-free. My mental state is a whole other thing-I refuse to process it, really.
Forest fires are a yearly occurrence in Greece. It's a combination of greedy arsonists who want to use the burned land for development, a corupt, incompetent government who refuses to either stop the sales of the land, reforestate, or fund our firefighters properly, and yeah, the dry/windy climate doesn't help either. But not like this. Never like this.
I went outside today, and the sky was dark with smoke, it kept raining ash, and everything was bathed in a sickening orange glow, and fuck, when did I walk into the Apocalypse.
Forget about the human casualties for a moment (though on second thought, I can't-people are getting freakin' burned alive, entire villages and towns are surrounded by flames in every direction, and I just can't think about that-the images on the news look like a war zone, you know?), this is literaly burning the LAST forests and trees in Greece, and we didn't have any to spare to begin with.
I'm just filled with hatred right now-at the worthless pieces of human flesh who started the fires (and of course it was intentional, it always IS, and the whole thing was just planned and perfeclty synchronised), the government (and the previous one, and the one before) who are fucking USELESS, the fuckers who are already planning the properties they'll build before the smoke settles, just the fucking universe. You know, I'm anti-death penalty as a citizen and a believer in human rights, but on a personnal, visceral level? The ones who started the fires, the ones who planned this whole thing? Burn them alive. I'll light the first flame.
