Pyramid Lake is now a fully autonomous collective in Nevada. Hexbear users are sitting in their nice, air-conditioned, bedrooms while actual workers are out there building community support during a disaster. They are pooling resources, rationing, and helping one another survive. I thought the point was to have support, albeit critical, for AES, but I guess not. Burning Man is closer to Marx's ideal socialist state than China ever will be.

Can we just defederate from them already? What is the point in continuing to exist with people who actively spew hatred and misinformation about our comrades in Nevada?

I thought the whole point was that you had to participate.

Techbros and other bored rich assholes lacking the integrity to maintain their own stated values surprised-pika

I mean I'm not surprised, but when they claim the whole thing is about self-reliance...

It's just an arrogant and pretentious rich people drug orgy at this point which exists in the same society where a black kid with a joint in a poor neighborhood gets years of jail time.

Was it ever good? I feel like the concept itself sounds kinda cool, like something some witchy hippies cooked up

Maybe. I wasn't there for the early versions, but the supposed tales of the event speak of some grant idealistic rejection of materialism by burning everything down and "leaving no trace."

Which is why for decades since it's about rich assholes having designer drug orgies with dubiously-consenting company then leaving mountains of trash behind when they leave.

In the USA they say they believe in self reliance and individualism. But they don't even rely on themselves to get take out. They hire people to go get it for them.
