Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

More just schadenfreude, I expect, since Burning Man has long seemed dumb and idiotic to many. So something dumb and idiotic like this happening to them feels appropriate.

Yes… I guess I am used to finding places on the internet that value nuance. There is no nuance to that perception. I guess there isn’t much when it comes to burning man. Hippies are dumb, rich hippies are dumber, so bad things happening to them is hilarious.

I love poor hippies. I hate when rich people pretend to be something they’re not and expect us to play along.

I think it’s like the difference between Van Lifers depicted in Close Zhao’s Nomadland who work real jobs to get by, who got into it by necessity, and continue for the love of the freedom and community vs Instagram van lifers in 100K Vans, with nebulous but seemingly unlimited sources of money, whose only job seems to be influencer marketing, and selling a blatantly Disney version of Van Life to the masses.

I’ve never liked that at all.
I’m not exactly rich, but compared to some starving people in third-world countries yes I am.
I hate to think that because of that, I must be stupid and deserve every bad thing that happened to me. After all, I’m just an overprivileged first-worlder, therefore I purposely tried to step on everyone to get my way. Because you suffered in ways that I never have, I must suffer like that and you get to laugh at the “rich person” flailing and generally being miserable.
This is why I stick to /sub. To avoid this kind of kbin post. And I somehow find these posts anyway (didn’t even seek out stuff outside of /sub, not sure how I landed here, going to find out how it happened so it won’t happen again) and get angry.
Lovely outrage bait. Never change, internet.

I don’t reality understand what you’re upset about but sorry my post hurt you
