Pyramid Lake is now a fully autonomous collective in Nevada. Hexbear users are sitting in their nice, air-conditioned, bedrooms while actual workers are out there building community support during a disaster. They are pooling resources, rationing, and helping one another survive. I thought the point was to have support, albeit critical, for AES, but I guess not. Burning Man is closer to Marx’s ideal socialist state than China ever will be.
Can we just defederate from them already? What is the point in continuing to exist with people who actively spew hatred and misinformation about our comrades in Nevada?
BURNING MAN IS JUCHE GANG?? 😳
Burning Man is closer to Marx’s ideal socialist state than China ever will be.
Lol.
Marx used to like getting wild drunk and going to parties, possibly orgies. He would have loved psytrance
psytrance
hey man, leave psytrance and goa out of this
You know Marx would do great lightshows but sometimes he would get overcomplicated about it.

The sad thing is there are actual workers. That’s how they set up all hte infrastructure. they have poor people come out and work in dangerous conditions in desert hell for a week building everything in exchange for a ticket that entitles them to squat in the desert for a week.
You’re joking? I thought the whole point was that you had to participate. I thought they built that stuff together during the festival
I thought the whole point was that you had to participate.
Techbros and other bored rich assholes lacking the integrity to maintain their own stated values
I mean I’m not surprised, but when they claim the whole thing is about self-reliance…
In the USA they say they believe in self reliance and individualism. But they don’t even rely on themselves to get take out. They hire people to go get it for them.
It’s just an arrogant and pretentious rich people drug orgy at this point which exists in the same society where a black kid with a joint in a poor neighborhood gets years of jail time.
Was it ever good? I feel like the concept itself sounds kinda cool, like something some witchy hippies cooked up
Maybe. I wasn’t there for the early versions, but the supposed tales of the event speak of some grant idealistic rejection of materialism by burning everything down and “leaving no trace.”
Which is why for decades since it’s about rich assholes having designer drug orgies with dubiously-consenting company then leaving mountains of trash behind when they leave.
Rich people logic is “I paid for it = I made it”
Good bit
The elaborate sarcasm on hex is above and beyond what my little brain can handle sometimes
I’ve been here for three years and, believe me, at times I feel the same :P
The mark of a good bit is that know matter how well you understand the context and site culture, you still can’t immediately know if it’s a bit or not.
Trust me, it’s too much for all of us at times. Just assume something really stupid is a bit and you’re better off. You can always ask “is this a bit” and we have to answer honestly it’s the law.
had me for a sec
It’s praxis when a bunch of rich Silicon Valley nerds paid ten thousand dollars to get stuck in mudAgincourt with 4G.
