literally 10 years ago the criticisms of how elitist and infiltrated it was
10 years? Shit, those criticisms have around since about 2005, if not earlier.
There was a social media site called Tribe.net that was filled with mostly Burners since Tribe was hq’d in San Francisco. I remember looking in the Burning Man tribe of the site and seeing complaints of how “sold out” the event had become because techbros, going to the desert to drop acid and look at topless hippie chicks, had taken over their art event, and thus the organizers begun charging cash money, ridiculous prices for what used to be a free-ish event.
i don’t see how anyone can look at the Burning Man Board of Directors and think that it is anything except another fucking corporate shakedown.
i mean, literally 10 years ago the criticisms of how elitist and infiltrated it was were so widespread that even i had heard them.
