You knew this opinion piece would bubble up at some point. The Maui wildfires are the most devastating in a century, with over 100 people dead and hundreds more still missing. The cost of the damages has soared into the billions as recovery efforts are underway. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but it’s likely from damaged power lines due to the high winds that blasted the state from a hurricane off its coast. But for some, the Maui wildfires, which have destroyed communities and shattered families, was an opportunity to bash America and blame the real culprit of these fires: white people. Now is not the time for pseudointellectual lectures about the perils of colonialism:
I had to stop there. What the hell is this? To understand the fires, we must look to the 19th century. No, we don’t. There are more pressing matters at hand, like finding the hundreds that are still missing, identifying the bodies of the deceased, and figuring out what sparked the brush fires. The ATF is on the ground, citing Hawaiian Electric, the main power company, for possibly tampering with evidence in the investigation. Reportedly, some workers moved debris at sites considered ground zero for the blaze. Why wasn’t the alarm system triggered, and did these emergency management officials leave the conference they attended off-island when the fires broke out? In all phases, the state response was abysmal, partially explained by some of these folks not having any disaster crisis experience. Christian missionaries’ influence is key to unlocking the cause of the fire. It’s astounding how the Left twists every issue for them to deliver some historically illiterate lecture about how America is evil. Wildfires have nothing to do with colonialism—even borderline mental defectives can figure that out. |
