How much more can we do to destroy the environment?
How about driving for miles, to stay in an inhospitable place, cooking on fossil fuels, running generators, and having a huge bon fire?
We humans are so selfish and short sighted.
“We”? They’re the morons doing it.
People are people and we are people. There's no distancing ourselves from how our species behaves, however much we try to mitigate our own impacts.
Don't you dare call me people, I'm a turtle bitch!!!!🐢🐢🐢
I mean he is not wrong, that is exactly what we do when we go camping during holidays and have a barbecue
No. Burning man is so much more wasteful and abusive to the environment than campers are. The working class can follow the campsite rules, the owning class knows they don't have to.
I've never been to one myself.
what? being surrounded by entitled elitist tech bros doesn’t appeal to you?
I very much appreciate the "we" perspective, thanks. I've snickered at Burning Man for decades, and think it's indicative of everything wrong with humans, but I'm not an innocent bystander. None of us are.
Also after seeing the video of how the alledgedly good vibes "burners" attacked the climate protest blocking their route, i can only agree to the told you so attitude. Then again it is truly remarkable how far detached the wealthy liberal Americans are from the reality of the harm they cause to the world.
The attack was from a cop, not the attendees.
Some peopel also started moving the stuff the people were chained to and in the video you can see one women getting choked by that briefly.
