Ever since their 2020 event was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Burning Man Project has spent months debating whether they could safely hold a gathering at Black Rock Desert in 2021. Today, they announced the the answer is no.

Burning Man revealed that despite the restrictions lifting across the United States as vaccination becomes more widespread, they will not hold their yearly event until 2022. A statement released through their website explained the decision:

Advertisement "Humanity is experiencing collective trauma that is unprecedented in recent times, and while for some returning to Black Rock City may feel like 'the answer,' there is very real rebuilding and healing that needs to be done before returning full force to the desert. The physical, psychic, and emotional impacts of this pandemic are real and the recovery from this experience will happen at different rates of speed. This is the time to gather with our friends, crews, families and communities."

Good. That’ll cause the STD rate in the US to drop ever so slightly.

From what I’ve seen of previous Burning Man events, COVID should probably be among the lowest priority communicable disease concerns.

Is it because it is racist because the rock is black?

Oh no! Where will rich, entitled people go to get high? I’m sure COVID is not even remotely the worst disease that gets spread around at Burning Man.

A statement released through their website explained the decision:

We are cowards who are ignorant of basic science, and since Ocenia is still at war with Eastasia and there are battles raging in India, and we are more afraid of catching the flu than an STD or liver disease, we will stay home (in deference to our fearless leader) in our parents basement and ponder what would Karl Marx or Che Guevara done if they were in our shoes.

With shelter in place rules, these people simply don’t need another excuse to do drugs.

True “Burning Man” types don’t consent to ‘cancelled’.

Amazing how many anarchists are so enthusiastic about establishing bureaucracies which must be obeyed.

Super Spreader Woman was already trademarked at Mustang Ranch, IIRC.
