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.

          How else do you propose to fix a system set up to benefit a certain class, a class which has firmly entrenched itself around the levers of power, without tearing down the whole rotten structure and starting again.

          Don’t pretend that you are for the current system for any other reasons than “I’ve got mine, Jack”.

              Seems like you wasted time telling me you weren’t going to waste time. I guess if that’s the level you are operating at I shouldn’t be suprised that you’re content.

                I am not “content” I’m just not a fucking highschooler willing to rehash the same stupid bullshit arguments over and over. Yes, good point about wasting time, further replies will be ignored and you’ll be blocked.

                PS no one gives a fuck that you’re a communist.

            Not them but my idea for changing things includes socially engineering different ideas until they corrupt those in power. That’s the only way we can really get to the 1%.

      Never said I was averse to solutions. I can be hateful and also want to fix the problems.

            You’re getting nothing though. Scream at the clouds (except in your case they’re not even rain clouds, they’re actually just people barely better off than you but you’re just too fucking stupid to understand it) if you like, you’re actually helping the rich people keep their advantage
