Thanks. Sounds like a bunch of liberal feel good stuff to me.

They are hypocrites. Leave the environment in better shape than they found it? What is the carbon footprint of Burning Man? How many noxious fumes spew from the actual burning man? Who cleans up the ashes from the burning man? Is it really cleaner than they found it when they are looking done?

Who the heck pays all that money to go to this thing?? If they are rejecting corporatism and all that? What do the participants do for a living that they can afford it? And do they earn a living from corporatism so they can then go reject it at burning man?

Do some dudes go there hoping to get girls?

Um, well, "get" has a lot of meanings...

“Do some dudes go there hoping to get girls?” Maybe at the orgy tent. Somebody did a pictorial last year and kind of an expose (brits?). Rules at the tent? Ladies and hetero couples welcome. Single guys......not so much. Once inside though.....whatever suited their fancy. Uh, yewwwwwww!

I have family that go. It’s mostly libs but it’s not in your face. Unlike Dem gatherings they usually do an excellent job cleaning up, even ashes from cigarettes or campfires.

The beautiful and rich with their catered private camps are the biggest hypocrites of the bunch.

It started out as a temporary (one week) Hippie commune/festival for radical artists, has vastly expanded in popularity over the past 30 years, and gets around 70,000 Leftards attending now. Due to my past sins I know some who are regulars there, though I have never been very tempted to try it myself. Nowadays there is a lot of tension between the anti-commercial anti-consumer traditions of the event and the increasing encroachments of ultra-rich people such as tech entrepreneurs, who want to take part but with the highest degree of luxury attainable in that desert:
