Thousands are currently stranded at burning man possibly facing death. Redditors come crawling out of the word work to gleefully express their schadenfreude
this isn't necessarily unique to reddit but holy fuck is it trashy. is there a specific demographic of people that go to burning man or something? i know it used to have somewhat of a hippy dippy stereotype but idk if that's still the case?
Burning man used to be a kind of neo-hippie artsy place, but in the past decades turned into tech-bros dropping acid and tripping balls.
Nobody is at the risk of dying. Burning man tickets run from $500 to several thousand USD. Many of the silicon valley elites get there in private jets and helicopters. This is a place full of very wealthy people who will flap in the mud and then find a way out or call in supply drops.
Do you really think that everyone there is a mutli millionaire? What about people who saved to go there? What about people that pooled their resources to get tickets?
i'm not sure about that - i understand the hatred of billionaires, believe me, but multiple news sources are confirming there's definitely been a death there and if it were someone that rich i feel like their name would be published?
Honestly, it doesn't matter who is there. The lack of empathy in these various threads is sickening. It's 10's of thousands of people in a situation that is potentially very dangerous and anyone that says they should have known better enjoy the benefit of hindsight.
