this rather ownage article details all the ways that filthy rich fatcats from tech companies are destroying the essence of the burning man experience by having luxurious toilets, beds, paid servants (or 'Sherpas'), chefs, air conditioning and other such accommodations while the plebeians out in the playa supply their own toilet paper for the poo poo-covered porta-potties, live in a tent pounded into the ground with rebar, and the only chef they know is chef boyardee. so much for the sense of egalitarian, money-free community. it was #1 on elite tech site Hacker News earlier this evening but then the man artificially threw it back off the first page because it had too much truth. look at its score and post time compared to articles surrounding it. (thread is here) read and remember what jesus said about the rich and the eye of the needle. one love http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/21/fashion/at-burning-man-the-tech-elite-one-up-one-another.html

People who aren't idiots don't like living as if they are filthy hippies that just got evicted. Not really surprising.

I think it is pretty obvious to everyone concerned that Burning Man has always been for the bourgeois. I knew a girl who posted Burning Man pictures on her Facebook and also posted after Mitt Romney's defeat "Well girls, say goodbye to your dream of finding that rich man of your dreams, because Obama is going to take away half of his money". Might be an extreme example but yeah. Anyway, real psychonauts don't go Burning Man. They go to the closest park to the Walgreens where they bought their cough syrup, drink it in the bathroom, then wander around the park for three hours.

my friend was like "let's go to burning man next year" and I'm like "sure. can we borrow my dad's rv? I'm not looking forward to pooping wherever those people poo" and he's like "you can't bring an rv" and I'm like "why" and he's like "because it's like 100 degrees out there and if you have AC you're never going to leave" and I'm like "I need somewhere to be when you're on ecstasy or acid or whatever you douche" and he's just like it'll be good come on anyway and then we never went to burning man because it's like hundreds of dollars or something. kind of wanted to see Serpent Mother though that thing looks dope.

How do they sell tickets to a flat desert campground with no amenities or facilities whatsoever. How would they even restrict access?

You can have sex with grubby 28 year old hippie girls wearing those Mexican horse blanket hoodies on any college campus anywhere especially if you can provide the mild narcotic of her preference I don't see why you'd drive to a desert to look at unemployed garbage sculptures for it

Burning Man and dumbass billionaires deserve each other. Hopefully the military decides to use it as a missile range while they're all there.

There is a whole subclass of fake blonde wannabe trophy wives looking for nerd money hanging out in techie neighborhoods, I could see this as another angle to advertise themselves. It's going to be great fun the next 2 to 5 years as the first wave of post ipo divorces happen and those now 32 year old women go on a west coast gently caress frenzy with their half of the nerd millions

Some of my most insufferable hipster acquaintances are going this year! i've never been but it probably was actually cool back in the 90s tho it seems like a waste of money and time to drive all the way out to the desert to do drugs, run around naked, and look at crappy art: you can do that right here in SF (which is where a lot of them come from anyways) Xaris fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Aug 21, 2014 |
