Leave this post up through tomorrow, or you burn in hell.? FUCK YOU this turkey needs to be banned-and I have NEVER heard anyone I know that attended Burning Man that reported any such activity
Well, I mean, you certainly have the right to your opinion but stating it with such emphasis makes you look quite suspicious. It is quite an elite gathering so I gather that if you were ever there personally you would have to say that, and, if you never were there and only heard peripheral stories, there's no credibility there either. So, there's two sources here saying they've heard the stories to your one. What do make of that? You're telling someone they should burn in hell over a stupid gathering? I've been to over 200 concerts and 100 + Dead shows and I have no qualms admitting that I was part of a huge CIA experiment. All the proof is there, you just gotta believe it. Take a look at Steve Outrim and Jan Gnosticmedia series on Burning Man and THEN come back here and tell me you have the same 'love' for Burning Man.
I love it when some turkey tries to cast aspersions (got to love the "schill" reference) in VOAT because they are critiquing a post-
I've never been to Burning man but I have a friend or too that has, it seems to be a rather mindless rave drunk fuck get together, but I have never heard a peep about what you are talking about, its always been a more or less open public event, your first youtube reference is rather pointless
You must have misunderstood me. It IS elitist in a sense because most regular hippies could NOT afford the initial entry fee and amenities, you more than likely have to have connections and the rule of 'radical inclusion' precludes simply having a good time, that is fascist and elitist conditioning.
Things changed when they started selling out all the tickets/reached max capacity. It was expensive before, but you could get in just buying a ticket or volunteering. Now your are right, getting tickets is really challenging and they do weird stuff like having a presale with grossly overpriced tix (for rich people) . they also tried a lottery system that was a total cluster fuck. If you worked on a camp all year only to get into the queue a fraction of a second too late, how frustrating is that? Then comes the cliquing up, the upper middle class people buy as many as they can afford to transfer to campmates. Scalping and scamming are big business. Scalping tix above standard price is a huge nono amongst idealistic burners who still believe in the 10 Principles....

Same here. I know a BM attendee. He is not an elite.
