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.

    Yeah shitty people are definitely everywhere, but I’ve had a lot of interactions that indicate the ratio is much better here than other online communities.

    This thread kinda shattered that feeling. I don’t think most people being huge assholes about this know anything except that they hate rich people. Rich people? Anyone with more money than them. They don’t care if you have $1000 more in your bank account or $1000000000 more than they have. Apparently anyone “rich”-er is all the same person

      ngl you sound just like the redditors did after Digg went to shit. Not saying that in a judgemental way. Just noting the similar response to similar situations
