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?

Marx used to like getting wild drunk and going to parties, possibly orgies. He would have loved psytrance

There is an ebola outbreak at burning man, and the hexbears are laughing. Smh

Burning Man is just like CHAZ/CHOP

[–] SunriseParabellum@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think Burning Man has gotten any black teenagers killed

Probably not for lack of trying though

these poor climate refugees are trying to make a place for themselves in this harsh world as best they can under hostile conditions

actual workers

HAHAHAHA!!!

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 mao-wtf

Techbros and other bored rich assholes lacking the integrity to maintain their own stated values surprised-pika

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean I'm not surprised, but when they claim the whole thing is about self-reliance...

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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.

oh this one hurt

[–] Treczoks@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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"?
