No nice things for anyone I guess.

It is supposed to be a utopian vision of peace and love but this year's Burning Man Festival has been marred by "hooligans" carrying out a "revolution against rich parasites".
quote:
In a dismayed post on Facebook camp leaders said: "A very unfortunate and saddening event happened last night at White Ocean, something we thought would never be possible in our Burning Man utopia. "A band of hooligans raided our camp, stole from us, pulled and sliced all of our electrical lines leaving us with no refrigeration and wasting our food, and glued our trailer doors shut. "They vandalised most of our camping infrastructure and dumped 200 gallons of potable water flooding our camp." The camp leaders said they felt like there had been an effort to "sabotage us from every angle" because "some feel we are not deserving of Burning Man".

A bigger conglomeration of freaks and weirdos the world has never seen.

Nude women make lots of things that are dumb suddenly interesting.

In recent years it has become popular with Silicon Valley millionaires, and billionaires. Luxurious so-called "plug-n-play" camps have sprung up which use hired staff like cooks, builders and security, and allow international jetsetters to drop in for quick visits.
you mean your rank and file burningman attendees don't like silicon valley and hollywood turning their festival into another corporate vip event.
shocked

It's a shame that one can't go set up camp in the desert and frick whoever they want these days. The country is really going down hill.

I love the Burning Man concept and with the influx of the Silicon Valley elite bringing in their own portable 4 star hotels I could see a bit of animosity from the regular folk, but frick anyone who vandalizes anything.

I agree. Given that the uber wealthy dominate virtually every aspect of our society, there needs to be a place where they stay out. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the wealthy aren't welcome at BM.

I'm pretty sure that's what's happening as we speak.

Burning man isn't perfect (too much drug use, for one), but I had fun when I went. And, it is not full of "weirdos" as someone posted.

Rich people taking over a festival for outcasts. Who would've thought that would turn out bad?

That is an unfair characterization. It is a festival for free spirits.
