Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Some of the worst people I've worked with are "burners".
There's apparently a private jet at burning man this year that was taking off and landing constantly so that people could fuck on the jet - it's fall of Rome style excess in a broken world where most people's basic needs are not met on an enormous scale.
Your statement is fairly tone deaf to the basic objective reality of the "party", OP. The frustrated people at the bottom are feeling a bit of catharsis in the money burning factory closing for a day while they starve and watch.
So like "let's fly on private jets to a nice swiss resort to discuss climate change"
So you think it's okay to laugh at people dying?
Burners by and large are dipshits, but no one reasonable is laughing at anyone dying.
Hot take: fundamentally, yes. The simple fact that people are dying does not render something unfunny.
That said, no one has died yet (well, one person, but that was ruled unrelated to the flooding).
The fact only one person has died speaks pretty well of their community, actually.
How the fuck do you die because it rained and there's mud? Hows that make their community look good?
Did you miss all the memes about the billionaire dying in the submarine a couple months back? People like laughing at dark humor.
Generally no, but this episode of tough hippie mudder has been great.
Way to confirm you're actually as bad or worse than any of them morally. 👍
Judge not least. Splinter and timber. Yeah you do you.
If someone falls asleep inside the giant puppet and they burn him alive with everyone gathered around, I'm sorry but that's just very funny. Dark, but funny.
Why wouldn't it be?
