Given how infantalizing and top-down federal disaster response is, who wouldn't be proud? Even if it is fascist, what organization is going to see the profound suffering of the people (it considers 'the people'!) and sit on the sidelines?
The government fobbing off its work onto you and you doing for them with a smile is humiliating. No compensation, no acknowledgement, all they got were cops and national guard trying to get them out of the way and stop them because they were making them look bad.

Because they're doing the government's job? At their own expense? It's deeply humiliating.
It's humiliating to be abandoned or treated like a non-entity, but I don't see how it's humiliating to take care of people?
