    It is a great example of liberal hypocrisy. They set up a city in the middle of a desert. Drive SUVs and trucks out to it. Create a bunch of trash, and burn some shit.

    Just like how every rich liberal douche says they want homeless shelters/outreach and affordable housing, but it cant be anywhere near their property.

      “Burning Man is lib shit” is probably the most obviously wrong take since “I can do anything I want with classified documents”

      Leave it to brain dead basement chuds to be totally unaware of the world around them, I guess

        Love how you just assume I’m a right-winger and conflate me to Trump because I don’t like a wasteful desert party attended by bay area folks who are overwhelmingly liberal. But good job being the most toxic person in the brain dead pile on groupthink mob. Really original comment here.

      Libertarian. Not liberal.

      They are explicitly out in the middle of nowhere because of freedumb.

      Lmao every liberal I know thinks burning man is a joke and did not feel sorry for them. You’re thinking of capitalists or general rich non political types
