If I was bitter enough to moan about California, I might think that New Mexico doesn't have wildfires.

That seems to fit my anecdotal experience.

You can't even ask a question on CleanStupidia without having it removed. There's no left opinion that is too far to be censored, however. Maybe I'll post a comment involving wood chippers and people the left hate and see how many thumbs up I get in there.

I've never encountered opinions in online forums approaching right extremes concerning racial superiority or any similar nonsense, even when a forum is predominantly right-leaning (SlickDeals comes to mind).

I never claimed new mexico doesn't have wildfires fires.
Smokey the bear is from new mexico. We are aware of the problem and actually do something about it.
I present a visual aid.
New mexico

California. I should have saved a picture from 2 months ago it was all fire you couldn't even see the state at all. This is a huge improvement. There were 2,000 fires burning in that view back in July and August. Not all, but a large portion were in California.

It's pretty obvious who has the problem.
I rest my case.

I didn't go to Wikipedia for political analysis- I went there for easily accessible information.

There's no need to cite. There's no need to cite Wikipedia when it's obvious that it's Wikipedia.

I was kidding about the fighting. Just to be clear.

It's polite to cite. Think of the lurkers.

"Zero Hedge or ZeroHedge[b] is a far-right[12] libertarian[17] financial blog,"

What does far-right mean? They don't even call Stormfront far right. At least in the DDG blurb.

Far-right in current parlance implies racism.

Liberal/Conservative and Authoritarian/Libertarian aren't on the same axis. Far right and Libertarian aren't related in the least. They are separate entities altogether, especially with the current context of AntiFa being both far left and far authoritarian (ironic).

Moral compass:

Have you followed the drama between Sargon of Akkad and Shoe on Head? This documents their respective trajectories (from center-left libertarian), it sounds like he twisted some knickers.
