Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    Your blatant classism and lack of normal empathy aside, can you provide evidence that most people at burning man are “rich”?

      Because it’s a festival in the middle of the desert that’s celebrating being in the middle of the fucking desert.

      In high school I remember some of us were actually very taken with the concept, including myself. But as time progressed, it became obvious that it wasn’t about connecting with nature and self reliance.

        Yeah if you can afford $400 tickets, camping supplies, and transportation you’re absolutely a part of the 1% /s

        All that you’re doing here is contributing to infighting within your own class, which is what actual rich people want – for you to focus your attention anywhere but on them. Hate the 1% if you want but more importantly demand they be treated like the rest of us.

          Like let them live with constant financial stress?
