Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? - Lemmy.world

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.

i dont care what happens to rich people

Most of them aren’t rich. They’re middle class. The only reason you think most of them are rich is because of how a lot of the middle class has fallen into poverty. Don’t tear down the people that are still truly middle class.

The truly wealthy are a problem, but they’re a minority at burning man.

It’s all relative. If the poor have gotten poorer, then the “almost rich”, just by virtue of hanging on to their wealth, have edged up into “rich” territory

Sure, if you want the extremely rich people who actually made you poor to write your narrative for them. Save your anger for the people who actually suppress wages and equity. Not people who just managed to carve out a middle class life by doing some job.

I have plenty of anger to go around, there’s no danger of it running out.

Might want to seek professional help for that bud.

It’s a rational response to an unjust world, but more importantly I couldn’t afford professional help in any case. Which is, again, the point.

Rational… yup. No you are just a sad little child that can’t grow up

You’re directing your anger at the wrong people. Pretty fucking irrational to me
