Westerners look down on the Romans throwing clothing and jewellery into funeral pyres, decrying how hysterical they were. And then they do this shit.
Firefighters in areas with regular forest fires don't have "surplus" equipment morons, only reserved for later use. This is what happens when an entire society live their lives convinced that infrequent disasters and so-called worst case scenarios may as well not happen.
The Roman Empire is fellatiated by the Western Zietgeist as an origin point that "western culture/values/civilization" can be traced back to. It was a cruel shithole slave empire that mass murdered jews (literal antisemetism) and according to His Holiness St. Bhagavan Shree Matt Christman (SAW) provided the framework for the same anti-human "private property" laws that exist today in the West.
