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.
The only people who go to that dumb crap in the first place are wealthy whites, the poor and working class don’t have all the money and time in the world to spend $1000’s of dollars on hard drugs and time off work and traveling half way across the country to attend some “hippy” festival that hasn’t actually had hippies at it since the 12th Century BC
That’s why I’m happy when people aren’t able to make it to Cons and Ren Fairs. Bunch of losers with more money than me spending on things I don’t care about.
How dare they. I hope anyone who spends money to have fun has a bad time instead.
In defense of Ren fairs, the best part of them is the camping, and that’s as cheap as you want it to be.
There are certainly weathly people who go, but there are also poor people who work multiple jobs and save up for a year to go as well.
