Seize the Memes of Production

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

They don't get paid in Australia, they do it out of care for their community.

They are actively against getting paid because pay can pressure people to risk their lives on the front lines for a cheque and it promotes a culture they don't want in their peers who need to be there to support them.

Well remember next time you hear of Australian firefighters helping out in Canada during our off season, that many of them are there just to be good cunts and save lives without getting paid for it.
