Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    Try asking any question on !vegan or similarly culty forum. 🤷🏼‍♂️ This species will always behave like crabs in a fuckin’ bucket. Right up to the very end we all had a hand in.

      That’s a good connection. Vegans are also popularly perceived as being condescending douchebags but I think most of them are probably humble, chill people who are doing their thing. I don’t have any evidence of this. People laugh like idiots when studies come out that vegan diets are bad for babies or proven to cause ______ deficiency…ok. I know a Native American guy who owns a bbq place and sells tshirts with a cartoon of Indians sitting around a campfire saying “vegan is ____ tribe’s word for village idiot.” Seems like cheap larry the cable guy laughs and anyone who uses this as an excuse to laugh at suffering is a piece of shit…but you do you, folks.

        To put a finer point on it: Larry the Cable Guy is an act that the vast majority of his audience don’t/won’t realize that the joke is, in fact, them. 🤦🏼‍♂️
