I'm getting a little tired of Hexbear shitting on the Burning Man situation.
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?
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.
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.
Well, I'm not shitting on them, but I am wondering why they actually attended burning man this year after it was knows days before that it would be a mud fest due to all the rain.
There were pictures making the round of the festival area being hip-high under water. Did they really believe "oh, in three days it will all be dry again"?
I come from a formerly colonized country and reading our history and the strong imperialistic behavior of a lot of contries today made me enjoy some of your takes about how strong countries are exploiting weak ones and trying to paint themselves heroes instead of aggressors but y'all seem borderline psychopathic.
We're mostly just goofing on the fact that a bunch of rich kids got their environmentally disastrous vacation ruined by rain.
Nobody is actually sick or dying at burning man right now, that's all fake. It's just rich people being mildly inconvenienced and destroying their $40,000 cars because they'd rather do that than camp in the rain.
This. Burning Man is built on hipocracy and actual, literal bougies decadence. They can survive a little rain, they'll be fine. And they'll be telling each other how they survived the rainy burning man with pride for the rest of their lives.
Why do you feel the need to pathologize and medicalize? You are likely 27 years old, you had therefore time to reflect a bit about your ableism and neuro-normativity.
You couldn't be more wrong about me aside from the age. Your quite close.
Enjoying people suffering isn't something to be proud of. It can happen when it's someone that hurt you directly but that's rare.
