Firefighters are infinitely more based than cops even if some are reactionary.

firefighters are reactionary in the same way that nurses tend to be - they hate taxes and "bureaucracy" and in some cases "wokeness"

What's up with this?

This is because firefighters have physical fitness standards

I mean...it's a public serving pretty decent gig where you're on for two weeks but have the next two weeks entirely to do whatever, you need to be buff and you're automatically popular. It's probably one of the best options for an institution to flood with leftists. It's already got a red colour theme going.

It does happen but only in the sexy domineering policewoman angle and that's more about making the uniform into something skimpy and naughty, with the cop part being of less importance. Never the male cops.

« "Who cares? Another dead cop, probably against gun control. They didn't give an [expletive] when kids were dying in that school shooting they stood outside," Newcomb wrote in a group chat, per 7News. »

…

« Newcomb's text message continued: "Cops exist for the government to exercise its monopoly on violence. They want the whole world to stop when one of theirs goes down. How many idiots I had to transport with honor guard their dead bodies from coronavirus because they all were too stupid to wear masks or get vaccinated? All cops are good for is protecting the rich property owners and the status quo. Everything else is a farce. [Expletive] the police ." »

I have had 2 Proffs who where FIre Fighters, and one was THE fire cheif of the city ... and he would constantly tell stories of how the police would respond to a fire first... park infront of the building and hydrent, and he would constantly chew the police out with "why do you constantly try to get here first, what are you going to do shoot the fire, that will do no good"

They probably still assume you're a Right-winger though?

I've seen chuds who have the thin red, blue, green flag combo. I just assume anyone with any of those or the black and white US flag is a fascist. Am I wrong here? Then again I just assume anyone with any US flag is a fascist.

Most nurses I’ve met are turbo libs

I mean yes they are car brained, however, that is America, everything by necessity has to rely on the the car.

I will also point out that in the article mentioned responce times. Now I am not an urban planner, and while I dabble in city design theory from time to time, from their narrow lens prospective I can understand their condenser, especially with the contemporary understanding of bigger road= better traffic flow. Their statement is that these proposals are likely to increase reponse times, and if we look at it from the understanding of city design we are all taught, that would make sense, narrowing the street for any reason will increase congestion and increase response time in kind. Instead what you need to do is help aleviate their consern where it stands. Fires today burn, hotter, faster, and more toxic than ever before, and so any delay is potential lives lost, meet them at their concern, not from the "Oh you car brained goober hating street safety" because that is not what they are against.

Second the "oversized apparatus" I will agree the 3 largest vehicles on the roads today that everyone has seen in the US are the Fire Truck, the Ambulance, and the Simi Truck (no not everyone sees a bus, agian we have no public transportation infrustructure). However I push back on your insenuation that the fire equipment is "oversized" There is a reason they have gotten to this size, and there is a pressure for the smallest fire truck they can use at any given location, because it is far more manuverable, and less likely to get caught up in any trafic. The reason they have gotten bigger is because the extra size gives significantly more use to the truck, weither that be an air bottle re filler, that is essential for long fires, or a stronger pump, or just more hoses.

I am not going to say "all fire fighters are the best humans and none are individualy reactionaries" but like honestly Fire Fighters are awsome... and as a thing we do Based ... and like the meme posted is right... The amount of resources they will expend to save 1 life is awe inspiring, and if that comes at the cost that they are slower to change to narrower streats, because 1 conventional wisdom and 2 with our wider streats they have gotten engines that are more capable but bigger, and so we have to teach them why it will still help responce times, it is a cost I am willing to do

Same, I squint really hard at first because I think it's thin blue line flag, but then relax after seeing it's the thin red line, but then again wonder if it's a coded dog whistle.

The US military has firefighters though.
