Burning Man: Inside the world's WILDEST festival
dailystar.co.uk ^ | 8/25/2018 | Tom Fish

Tens of thousands have gathered for the deranged nine-day festival of excess, which is unique among others in frowning at any hint of commercialism.

Incredible photos show attendees donning outrageous Mad Max-style outfits, or even forgoing clothes at all, under the relentless sun.

Some are seen traveling around the temporary city in post-apocalyptic "art cars" and bicycles.

And the ritualistic burning of a giant human-shaped effigy is seen sending smoke and flames billowing into the empty skyline.

Wealthy but geeky 50-60 y.o. IT nerds in sparkly stove pipe hats trying to have sex with drugged out 20 y.o. Cali babes.

And let us not forget that the Silicon Valley Billionaire Elite, the muscle behind the drive into a leftist totalitarian state, are amongst these drug crazed devil worshipers.

They are so anti-commercial yet tickets to get in cost thousands of dollars.

So I went to your link and randomly dropped the little orange GoogleMan into the middle of the arena.

I did a 360 with the mouse. Girl in thong, naked guy on bike. Lots of scuzzy hippies and people with multi-colored hair. Looked at a couple more; lots of tents and a zillion RVs in the dusty desert. It reminds me of Thunderdome but less organized.

The B.O. must be incredible. The little orange GoogleMan is pissed and said something about a shower before my browser shut down unexpectedly.

This is the type of mass gathering I have long avoided in my life. It has “bad idea” written everywhere.

Very ironic, but I think the pull of the mighty dollar will always be there. Perhaps some minds will be changed along with the dollars...

No doubt about it, CAPITALISM ROCKS!

Burning Man is a satanic celebration of depraved degenerates and narcissistic hedonists.

You left out “rich”. But then, for a couple of weeks after you see some trying to get rides back from whence they came. If you can’t pay round trip, don’t come.

“The B.O. must be incredible.” Nah. Patchouli oil sales skyrocket. Mixed in with the odor of legal skunk “weed” and it’s pretty tummy turning.

No, no, no. Anti establishment “BURNING THE MAN” is the culmination. No, they DON’T get it.
