this isn’t necessarily unique to reddit but holy fuck is it trashy. is there a specific demographic of people that go to burning man or something? i know it used to have somewhat of a hippy dippy stereotype but idk if that’s still the case?
Burning man used to be a kind of neo-hippie artsy place, but in the past decades turned into tech-bros dropping acid and tripping balls.
Nobody is at the risk of dying. Burning man tickets run from $500 to several thousand USD. Many of the silicon valley elites get there in private jets and helicopters. This is a place full of very wealthy people who will flap in the mud and then find a way out or call in supply drops.
Do you really think that everyone there is a mutli millionaire? What about people who saved to go there? What about people that pooled their resources to get tickets?
i’m not sure about that - i understand the hatred of billionaires, believe me, but multiple news sources are confirming there’s definitely been a death there and if it were someone that rich i feel like their name would be published?

I mean, people have died apparently.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter who is there. The lack of empathy in these various threads is sickening. It’s 10’s of thousands of people in a situation that is potentially very dangerous and anyone that says they should have known better enjoy the benefit of hindsight.
