Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

The ones remaining will only stay for some life circumstance that keeps them there. As soon as they have the opportunity, they will leave. Or when things get bad enough they can't take it any longer, they will leave.
Competent firefighters take their jobs seriously. They take work ethic seriously. Being able to perform, and being willing to put in hard work is one of the most important aspects. In addition, being willing to take responsibility, show solid ethic, train hard, and put the job at the forefront is right there along with that hard work. Because your life, and those around you, depends on it.
When you put that kind of firefighter along side a group of lazy entitled morons who are just given the title, who don't have to earn it, who are allowed to slide by without the slightest bit of discipline or work ethic, it demoralizes the fuck out of them.
For awhile, those competent firefighters will try to step up and lead by example. They'll try to get others on board with the program. They'll think that it's a shit sandwich that's still salvageable. But then, when leadership is still failing to course correct, and keeps dumping more shit on the pile, the moral gets worse.
They keep getting more demoralized.
And eventually, they'll go to the chief and express concerns. In this scenario, the chief will tell them to fuck off, because they've got to please the politicians more than anything else if they want to exist as a department. They'll be told to go back into their lane, forget about any concerns they have, do more with less, pick up everyone elses slack, and just deal with it.
And then that department will lose that firefighter. Unfortunately, they sometimes lose him to suicide.
Those first responder suicides we hear about? Well, this is one of those scenarios. They deal with fucked up shit on a daily basis.
Training and working hard is one of the few outlets they have, because they sure as shit don't have professional resources worth a damn at their disposal. So they cope by putting their nose to the grindstone and walking that extra mile. They cope by rolling that extra hose. They cope by cleaning the rig that has already been cleaned twice in the same shift.
And when they see that nobody else gives a fuck about the work, about the legacy that came before them, about the sense of duty they all supposedly came there to fulfill..... they start to question all of it.
They start to wonder just why in the fuck they're even doing it all, why they're seeing and dealing with the fucked up shit, if nobody even cares, if it's all just a political clusterfuck.
And that, sadly, is when we sometimes lose them to their own void.
When that happens, it's entirely on the shoulders of administrations like the ones in this article for the failure in leadership that resulted in PC agendas disintegrating the very fabric of the work culture that allowed it to function.
The best case scenario here is that the firefighters just go work somewhere else. Facing that kind of discrimination is uncalled for, but unfortunately it can effect them in ways that aren't always visible.
But you know, they're white males, so they deserve it I guess.
