the infamous "Daft Punk is throwing a secret show at the trash fence" joke?

BurningmanThrowaway ago

I was actually pondering whether or not this was in fact the origin of that! 2007 was my virgin burn(s)

Kawksnahch ago

do you do any regional burns?

BurningmanThrowaway ago

I don't feel very comfortable divulging much about myself publicly

Kawksnahch ago

oh, i don't care which ones. My question is... have you noticed anything off with finances, financial reporting, and operations? I heard about one woman who's been siphoning money for years...

BurningmanThrowaway ago

One I know of broke away and isn't a decompression anymore, people do call it a regional but I don't know if it technically is under the BMorg....

That one has gotten massive, and has kinda small minded control freaks running things, but I haven't heard of any shenanigans with the accounting. Just greed and ego.

I've attended others that keep it small and cozy. As cheap and accessible as possible, with size caps.

The regional model definitely seems to have the potential for abuse if run by a nasty person

omg the cliquish nature of some of the regionals is pretty astounding. I heard of one where the property owner completely wiped the board because of their egos and abusive bullshit.

So what's your take on it being a shitty cult? Who is the effigy burned to? An intoxicated mass gleefully giving up their energy toward the burning of an effigy built by people in hoods who conduct a whole ceremony for the ritual... to what end?

Cliquishness, certainly. "Radical Inclusion" is basically a social fallacy. You can't, nor should, include every person no matter what, because some people are toxic. Either just when interacting with a clique, or just general predators and creeps toxicity.

As Outtrim explains in his YouTube series, it's a cult of no religion. Larry Harvey loves to say, "It's a self service cult. You have to wash your own brain." I listened to episode 4 yesterday, it explains so much. https://youtu.be/8DIs6THaCtg (if you go to 1:33:30 you will learn how google plans on controlling reality , fascinating history unfolding into current states of affairs esp "fake news".)

I personally have never seen hooded figures or devil worship. Just freaks and geeks love bombing everyone. It is a blissful and transcendent feeling being on the playa with thousands of friends you haven't met yet. Outtrim explains in the link above how this is laboratory grade cia mind control.

I recently went to an informal burn in the desert, and asked my friends why they burn the man. Most of them had inspirational tales of love, light, and renewal. Like a Phoenix myth.

But like I said, Outtrim has removed the veil from my eyes, and I can see now that the nagging thoughts I have about BM not being upfront have a basis in fact. The Borg only cares to assimilate us.

They are social engineering a satanic utopia. And I do indeed feel somewhat shunned these days .....

I'm beginning to wonder how "normal" the hooded procession after conclave before lighting the bitch up is.

I'm incredibly shunned but since Trump got elected... they've been too busy with their pussy hats and diaper safety pins.

Never heard of Outtrim, I'll look that up. Also, Youtube seems to be down for me at the moment but I'll give that a look when it's back up.

Edit: I have heard of Outtrim, didn't realize that was his last name.
