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.

Marginalized people are poor folk who live in hunger in a world where we are fully capable of feeding them, all in the name of capitalist profits. Marginalized people are women seeking abortion care in underground clinics because it's easier to oppress them once they are trying to take care of a child. Fuck man I could go on and on about ACTUAL Marginalized groups. Immigrant communities whose labor is exploited and then vilified in the media.

It's appalling you would use the term in regards to a bunch of rich people cosplaying as bohemian hippies to go party in the desert. You're understanding of who goes to BM is two decades outdated. Thanks for the honest reply though that shit is too funny, gonna try to get it to the front page.

Aw, you'll make it, you're clearly a front page personality.

At least I've taught you the definition of the word "marginalized", I guess that's something.

One step at a time, right?

Wild with all those examples you still think you're using it correctly.

Haha, and now you're pretending that I said things I didn't because you're embarrassed.

It's fine, you're doing very well.
