Burning Man 2020
- bliznutty0
Burning Man died yesterday..
Many may argue it died a long time ago with the huge investment from Big Tech and all the billionaire pseudo burners. Looking at it now they were right!
When faced with the decision to put up this year or 'go out of business' - they should have decided to just end it here - with a statement saying 'Thanks for 20+ great years!'
Instead they reinterpreted the 10 principles in order to create new incredibly fascist discriminatory rules (conveniently leaving out decommodification) similar to the way the bill of rights/constitution was interpreted - what a fucking mess!!!!
they literally sold out their own values they were trying to promote! likely reason is so that big tech companies that fund them can promote their 'digital passport vaccination app' in order for anybody to even get into the event.. hmmmmm really?! can we now fly a Johnson & Johnson flag at our camp?, wear a Pfizer t-shirt?, or hand out Big Pharma shwag provided by Moderna that says "If you're not vaccinated you're not a real burner!"? mind fucking blown!
burning man.. really?!? fuck fascism you sellouts!
- Have we forgotten about superspreader events and all the lives those cost? We’re cool with those idiotic moto rallies now? Cool cool.scarabin
- scarabin they should've just quit and handed the torch down. don't argue with mebliznutty
- this is the first time i've posted on this site in years. i don't need to argue or hide behind qbn. you want to talk call mebliznutty
- I think they should just keep it VR this year. That said, aren’t they still discussing whether or not to do an IRL event?scarabin
- and sorry if i came on strong, lol. i'm in a mood todayscarabin
- ❤ you!bliznutty
- i'm actually in a mood. my goodness - i might be an alcoholic too ;)bliznutty
- That's a shame. Burning Man was on my bucket list.utopian
- The future is in the regionals - Larry Harvey even said so!bliznutty
- i feel the words i said here were a bit harsh but still represent how i felt at the time. with that said, BM changed this stance and now I love them again!bliznutty

Burning Man announced the decision to not put up Black Rock City in 2021 and focus all efforts on 2022.
All I can say is this is the right decision. Thank you BM for being rational and operating with integrity. I did not in any way agree w/ new interpretations of the principles just in order to throw the event during these times. It was clear as day these interpretations were biased and not aligned w/ radical inclusion or decommodification.
Hopefully I will see you all again in the dust 2022. Until then, cheers! and remember... Safety Third!

BREAKING: Burning Man festival to be renamed Burning Person to promote inclusivity
- Oh so excluding the people who aren’t on fire now. Outrageous!mort_

Wife and I are planning to go back after 15 years. It's also our 10th anniversary this year so I thought it would be a special treat since we became serious there for the first time.
But man, looks like it's a bitch to find tickets this year after 2 years of break.
Please let me know if you hear anything about extra tix available.
I'll be indebted forever...
If we do go, I'd love if we can make a QBN meetup too.

Went to my first burn last weekend: "BEquinox." I had fun, but honestly I was not very impressed with the art or music. A couple of cool vehicles and talented fire spinners, but it really seemed like folk art... the costumes, the DJs, even the dancing were all pretty poor...
Should I expect more from the real Burning Man?
- Bequinox is a very small, very low-budget spinoff. It’s what, like a mile long? Burning man is 8 miles long and has million dollar campsscarabin
- Short answer: yesscarabin
- ^ok! well i'll keep manifesting for that ticket then...sarahfailin
- bequinox gave me the impression that burners were basically just juggalos with money...sarahfailin
- "8 miles long" holy shit!!

Found tickets, found a camp, arranged a friend's RV and truck. I just have to buy my flight from Istanbul to LA.
It's $2300 for one stupid economy seat!
This is Turkish Airlines direct flight and its one of the cheapest.
Last year I'd paid $7800 for 3 business class seats.
Fuck you OPEC!

I'm so glad this isn't a bump 'sharing' that absolutely horrifying footage of that guy in Asia who self-immolated in his car, whcih he then got out and walked from whilst burning, recently.
- link?shapesalad
- Nope.Nairn
- I read their EV batteries get a bit hotChimp
- sarahfailin1
Looks like I'm going! staying with a camp on the esplanade... no idea what that will be like but probably fucking nuts!
