Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    You pretty much got it, there are marginalized parts of society you’re allowed to berate, and people who want to feel better about themselves make fun of the groups they are allowed to when they are allowed to.

      Are you claiming tech bros are a marginalized part of society?!

        Are you claiming every attendee at burning Man is a tech bro and that people are specifically only making fun of tech bros?

          No, I am trying to understand your statement of “marginalized parts of society”.

              Marginalized in the context of burning man.

                You’re asking “is the population of burning man marginalized in the context of burning Man”.

                No, once you are referring to the entirety of a defined population, that group is not a margin, but the entire population.

                  Ok I understand the context of your original message now. It was completely nonsensical.

                    Nope, you clearly didn’t understand my original comment and then confused yourself by largely ignoring my original comment and conflating it with your own incorrect assumptions.

          I meant poor as in pitiable, not as in impoverished. Don’t purposely misread my statements.

            Nobody said they were impoverished.

            By casting burners as pitiable, you’re marginalizing them. How pitiable.

              I can’t debate a point with someone who either doesn’t know how words work or is deliberately arguing in bad faith. Have a good day.

      Yeah I guess hipsters are still fine to laugh at, even when they drown, because driving to the desert to blow of some steam is frivolous. I’m disappointed.
