I went to Burning Man in 2012 and had a blast, but there was definitely an air of "us and them". The poor nerds in a 99' camper bus versus the wealthy in their camps, with air conditioning, food, drugs, and women. I'm sad that the vandalism occurred, but happy the conversation has started. These people are parasites, and they're trying to recreate Burning Man in their own image of wealth and decadence. It's time for a change and I really hope the organizers listen.
- Bud 10y agoIt's only the wealthy that have women or drugs or food at Burning Man? Whatever. Pretty sure everyone has drugs, for starters, and "women", leaving aside you considering them a commodity, don't exactly seem scarce either.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoOP is most likely referring to camps flying in models, in which case women are quite literally being treated as a commodity.
