Burning Man's origins are not BLM land, it evolved into the black rock city it is today. This shit started in SF[0] and kept outgrowing its location.
There are so many attendees burning(heh) so many resources on this event every year, if they just got their shit together they could buy enough desert land for an actual city.
But that's not a fun childish party with no obligations, that's adulting. It's asking too much of clowns who can't even prevent their furry trikes and hexayurt insulation panels from falling off their overheating RVs.
I don't expect them to improve. It's just useful to imagine what it looks like for these people to actually clean up their act. And it doesn't involve erecting and tearing down black rock city every year. It involves making it permanent and solving Hard Problems.
