Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoYou not understanding the word “marginalized” does not make the word meaningless.
The original question was why people are so giddy about the flooding that happened at Burning Man.
My answer that only you appear to be confused about can be expanded:
The entire burning man community is a marginalized community within the United States because they act contrary to American conservative social cues and structures but don’t have significant counterbalanced social power to defend themselves, making it a very safe target for bullies.
So even though there was a dangerous tragedy affecting tens of thousands of people and someone actually died, the worst parts of society have and are going to bully and demean this community because they are “weird” and can not or will not defend themselves in a way the bullies understand.

Marginalized people are poor folk who live in hunger in a world where we are fully capable of feeding them, all in the name of capitalist profits. Marginalized people are women seeking abortion care in underground clinics because it’s easier to oppress them once they are trying to take care of a child. Fuck man I could go on and on about ACTUAL Marginalized groups. Immigrant communities whose labor is exploited and then vilified in the media.
It’s appalling you would use the term in regards to a bunch of rich people cosplaying as bohemian hippies to go party in the desert. You’re understanding of who goes to BM is two decades outdated. Thanks for the honest reply though that shit is too funny, gonna try to get it to the front page.

Aw, you’ll make it, you’re clearly a front page personality.
At least I’ve taught you the definition of the word “marginalized”, I guess that’s something.
One step at a time, right?

Wild with all those examples you still think your using it correctly.

Haha, and now you’re pretending that I said things I didn’t because you’re embarrassed.
It’s fine, you’re doing very well.
