For me too, I can see how ONE person would be psycho/sexually charged by starting fires. But a couple in a stable relationship? How does that conversation star

Epstein and ghislaine were in it together. People with hobbies find like minded people I guess.

  Bonnie and Clyde were also a bit notorious. I think it’s that couples can either average out a bit (destructive interference?) or ramp each other up to an insane degree (constructive interference). Usually it’s a mix across attributes, so nothing too notable occurs. But obviously not in this case…

I'm not sure why you would think they are climate deniers. The odds are that they are exactly the opposite. Having been around far left activist groups in my past, there are many who think that doing things like this on purpose is morally justified, because it keeps the conversation on climate change. The media incentivizes it by covering them as "climate-fueled wildfire" stories, every single time. Wildfires in Canada were at a two-decade low in 2020, during the lockdowns. Think about that.

  >Wildfires in Canada were at a two-decade low in 2020, during the lockdowns. Think about that. Likely because most wildfires are accidents, even with accelerationist provocateurs being profoundly stupid and causing the thing they're worried about to get you to worry about it. People radicalized enough to do that are wildly uncommon.

    Perhaps as a percentage of the population - but we do have groups like Stop Oil routinely and deliberately causing massive traffic congestion, which ironically produces more wasteful emissions. Or the fools throwing liquids and pigments on irreplaceable historical artifacts and monuments. Never underestimate a radicalized idiot... they are capable of the inconceivable.

  They are (allegedly) criminals. All this people rushing to assign them to a particular left/right group just are doing damage control or trying to promote the relate that would suit better the interests of their own particular tribe. Without more data, just criminals. Activists would behave differently IMO.

  It was a random example of an absurd type of convention that normally would not have people seeking romance or hooking up. My comment originally did say "climate convention" but that didn't seem absurd enough to me. Climate denial is absurd, so I switched the example.
