AFAW: All Firefighters Are Wonderful
Fire cop
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Something tells me you don't actually know what a cop is if you think firemen are just "fire cops".
They arrest the fire
Which is very authoritarian. I'm not only fighting for humans and animals, I'm fighting for my right to be on fire
Who is to take that right away from you? Some fire "fighter"?
Everyone should have the right to self immolate. AFAB, all firefighters are bastards (or bad, bitches, bum holes, Brandon, or blighted).
This has been my PSA.
No they rehabilitate the fire
Fire cop
What?
Fire Cop
I understand the typical issues with cops, but what issues are you thinking of that would also apply to firefighters? Are they systemically racist or enforcing the capitalist class' rule?
They are racist towards fire
Fire cop
no elaboration is necessary
Are they now
There's a ton of problems with the culture, but the job is an inherently noble thing. Cops maintain order through violence, firefighters maintain order by directly helping people. Cops are mainly a weapon, firefighters are mainly a tool. Any tool can be a weapon, but designated weapons will always be worse. They have a tougher job and a far more positive impact on society.
My point is that they let a black trans woman die for bigoted, hateful reasons and then tried to cover it up. Yes firefighters are generally better than cops but idolising them is kinda iffy considering incidents like this.
