I am a firefighter and you’re not wrong. The shit I hear some of these assholes say is sickening.
On the other hand the nature of the job doesn’t give near as much of an avenue to act on fucked up beliefs. The culture won’t tolerate that behavior on scene either. There’s also a hell of a lot more accountability: you will be fired, possibly criminally charged, sued, and/or ostracized.
I.e. even if a firefighter is a piece of shit they need to at least act like a decent human being when interacting with the public.
I wonder how long that’ll last. Also, if it stays around, I wonder if there’s something society can learn from that structure and apply to other parts of society. I wonder if there’s any way to improve it. And I wonder why it’s as you say, in the first place.

Hopefully before maga picks up a history book and learns about the private fire services that used to exist before.
