- mikae1 3y agoIn fact, most CCC participants would probably see the comparison with Burning Man as the greatest insult imaginable (and that's not because of the nude people).
- danpalmer 3y agoIndeed. And from what I've heard the lack of nude people is probably highly dependent on which after parties you get invited to. Somewhere there's a venn diagram showing certain alternative communities with wide overlaps with CCC attendees.

- albertzeyer 3y agoWhy do you think so? I have never been at Burning Man and know only little about it, but from this little impression, I actually also did this comparison when I described the CCC event, and I have been to many of those events. Despite the tech stuff, there is also lots of art, music and party, and a lot of crazy people (meant in a good way).
- wink 3y agoI think the comparison with the old Burning Man is apt, but not since valley people have been flying in en masse and it seems more like a rich people playground. Never been to Burning Man, so take with a grain of salt. I've also not been to the CCC for around 7 or 8 years, so not sure how much the original counterculture spirit is still alive. "The Tribes of Burning Man" was a good read, but in stark contrast to everything I've read online for the last few years.

- turing_complete 3y agoCCC used to be anarchist hackers fighting government control and surveillance. Now many of them seem to be boring pro-EU, leftist "activists". Unfortunately.
