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.
So it seems like just since 2015 the amount of people making over $100,000 has literally doubled and people who are poorer having the sharpest decline in attendance. Just shy of half of attendees in 2021 where making over 6 figures and that has likely grown…
Yeah I don’t care what happens to the rich people cause they will find their way out and have a ghost writer write a book for them about their experience that will be a top seller before they even release it. The world has become a playground for the rich.
That census just confirms the stereotype of the average burner being the most annoying person ever. Overwhelmingly non-religious but also overwhelmingly ‘spiritual’.
The second largest political group behind democrats (~50%) are non-politicals (only double digit percentage), aka people who are disinterested in politics cause it doesn’t affect them, so they don’t care (let’s be real cause they are overwhelmingly rich, college-educated, white, cis, and straight).
It’s definitely the group easiest to judge negatively, and being stuck at burning man is likely the greatest challenge they’ve encountered in their life and the cherry on top is that they’ve paid thousands for it.
Yeah God forbid an atheist turns elsewhere for making sense of life. Anyone who does that is scum worthy of a gas chamber or something /s
TIL if you make enough to save a bit of money in a medium size city, you’re rich scum, morally equivalent to people who make 1,000,000 your salary and give none of it to charity.
I didn’t say that and if that was your internal monologue reading what I wrote you have your own internal issues to deal with
That’s what $100K is. This thread is fucking trash.
Are you ok mate?
