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

You pretty much got it, there are marginalized parts of society you're allowed to berate, and people who want to feel better about themselves make fun of the groups they are allowed to when they are allowed to.
Are you claiming tech bros are a marginalized part of society?!
Are you claiming every attendee at burning Man is a tech bro and that people are specifically only making fun of tech bros?
No, I am trying to understand your statement of "marginalized parts of society".
Which word are you having trouble with?
Marginalized in the context of burning man.
You're asking "is the population of burning man marginalized in the context of burning Man".
No, once you are referring to the entirety of a defined population, that group is not a margin, but the entire population.
Ok I understand the context of your original message now. It was completely nonsensical.
Nope, you clearly didn't understand my original comment and then confused yourself by largely ignoring my original comment and conflating it with your own incorrect assumptions.
And yet you have yet to provide a coherent explanation for your original post 🙄
If you mean my concise, original reply to the OP, you seem to be the only one who doesn't understand it.
Do you know what part of my comment you need explained?
How does "there are marginalized parts of society you’re allowed to berate" relate to the original question about burning man. I doubt I am the only one having trouble with the statement as that post is sitting at a -7, I'm just the only one morbidly curious enough to engage with you about it.
To me that seems like a statement that degenerates the term marginalized to the point that the word becomes meaningless.
You not understanding the word "marginalized" does not make the word meaningless.
The original question was why people are so giddy about the flooding that happened at Burning Man.
My answer that only you appear to be confused about can be expanded:
The entire burning man community is a marginalized community within the United States because they act contrary to American conservative social cues and structures but don't have significant counterbalanced social power to defend themselves, making it a very safe target for bullies.
So even though there was a dangerous tragedy affecting tens of thousands of people and someone actually died, the worst parts of society have and are going to bully and demean this community because they are "weird" and can not or will not defend themselves in a way the bullies understand.
Oh yeah. The poor, marginalized Burner community…🙄
Ffs.
Nobody said they were poor. Marginalized? You're proving it with your comment.
Appreciated.
I meant poor as in pitiable, not as in impoverished. Don’t purposely misread my statements.
Nobody said they were impoverished.
By casting burners as pitiable, you're marginalizing them. How pitiable.
I can’t debate a point with someone who either doesn’t know how words work or is deliberately arguing in bad faith. Have a good day.
You clearly can't debate a point, period. Scamper away.
Yeah I guess hipsters are still fine to laugh at, even when they drown, because driving to the desert to blow of some steam is frivolous. I’m disappointed.
Who drowned?
