    I really don’t see why people think the FD are that different. Same kind of people from the military who think they are here to subjugate civilians with the lodge. Responders should not have unions. Communities should provide for their own systems of care that are not turned against them through “professionalization” (i.e. sitting and driving around surveiling and harming people).

      I dunno what fire fighters you’ve met, but the ones I know get paid absolute dick to respond at all hours to about an 80/20 mix of “really stupid people doing really stupid things, often repeatedly” and tragic accidents. Out of all the issues to have with “the big state” the fire department is a weird one.

        The FD constantly harasses me nationally and won’t let me reproduce, slandering me to every community with their lies.

        Wouldn’t think that myself if I didn’t know from direct experience.

        i cant be the only one they did this to. The propaganda that they are heroes (like copaganda) is completely false.

        They don’t seem to work hard. They just sit in their firehouse and make noise with sirens. I rarely see fire or that they are actually doing something. That boredom is probably what turns them into such bullies. Nothing to do but gossip and dictate who can have sex with whom in town and what mean names to call townsfolk including making fun of kids.

            It’s true. I don’t know why it is a surprise to people that the FD and PD are assholes from the military, but it is true. No disinfo. Maybe you should sign up and find out for yourself. But wait! Another surprise! They might torture you and you may die if you do. Don’t say someone didn’t warn you who knew better!

              I need more than, “It’s true,” to take a claim like, “The fire department has a national conspiracy to prevent me from getting laid,” or whatever the fuck it is you are trying to say.

          Someone tell me how that works. Don’t use circular logic like this “I know the claim I make is true because I know it and claim so” guy though.

            Are you saying it can’t be proven so it doesn’t exist.

            That is the same as saying there were no cross-burnings and lynchings because the KKK were ghosts and ghosts don’t exist.

            Clandestinity, subterfuge, and passive aggression still exist even if the perpetrators don’t write a signed confession with multiple forms of ID and send it to a judge. How did the mafia ever get prosecuted or phantom unattributable cyber criminals?

        I mean, the biggest difference between the PD and the FD is that I can’t think of a single instance in which a fire department official showed up to provide aid and ended up shooting the person who placed the call.
