Is this just a gathering for filthy hippies or is there a deeper political/cultural/spiritual significance? It also seems like there's a lot of money behind it.
>$400 per ticket >70k attendees >$28,000,000 in fees >no real services provided except fireworks and burning a stick man
Who knows about this and can give us the real inside scoop of it? Also, an eerie thing happened there: a man made his way past all the firefighters and flung himself into the flames, almost like a human sacrifice. Pic related.
Thank you Americanigger, this is exactly the type of thing I wanted to see.
Jason King
It's an 8 day party in the desert, that's about it. Some people take it a little too seriously unfortunately, but that goes for anything humans have ever done
Nolan Jenkins
>$400 per ticker
It's better to have a smaller event with rich people than a larger one with poor morons. It has nothing to with being a hippie or not.
Even rich people who have access to the best education behave like savages when drunk and in a large group.
Luke Jenkins
Except 400$ is nothing? I was dirt poor working a shit job the first time I went. And so are a lot of others that go out there
Levi Hernandez
I think it's more than a party. 3 years ago, another man did the exact same thing at a smaller Burning Man festival. Seems like a pattern and no one in their right mind would do this to themselves.
400 for nothing, plus the trip. Even if you are dirt poor, you still have internet which puts you abo...
Actually. Nevermind. I'm just too old. I just realized poor people have taken over the internet... Everything is lost.
Gabriel Gray
Nigger poor people always had internet. In my youth I spent most of my time leeching free 56k internet from Bluelight because you could use an 800 number to get 40 minutes worth of net and there was no hard limit as long as you had the right login credentials. Wasn't broadband but I had net.

I saw that one, it's from a few years ago. But the fact that multiple people are voluntarily leaping into what are essentially pagan sacrifice altars is pretty disturbing.
Gabriel Adams
Isn't Burning Man called Burning Lap because of all the STD's it spreads annually?
Kevin Garcia
amazing that they have to put a ring of security guards around it just to keep idiots from killing themselves
William Garcia
I say let them go. They die by their own actions and the less degenerates the better.
Thomas Miller
trump should have moabed that filthy hippie shitfest anyways
Isaiah Jackson
I had a vision last year where bohemian grove participants massacred all the attendees of burning man sometime in the future.
Chase Lewis
Can you give sauce on this?
Jace Clark
>I think it's more than a party. It's an unusual party in an unusual place, but it's a party nonetheless >essentially pagan sacrifice altars Dunno about that one. You're assigning religious significance to what is really just a wooden art sculpture they load up with fireworks, douse with diesel fuel, and light up for a good show. In my experience the vast majority of people at these things are irreligious
They might not understand exactly what they are doing, but the fact remains: they are pantomiming, intentionally or not, the way that Celts used to burn a man to death to appease their own gods. And this time, coincidentally, a man happened to jump into the flames to sacrifice himself.
A man can be MK Uktra’d into doing practically anything to appease somebody.
Ryder Phillips
>>$400 per ticket
Like anyone would attempt to stop you if you just showed up and walked on in.
Cooper Rodriguez
>Like anyone would attempt to stop you if you just showed up and walked on in.
Its nearly impossible to sneak in. The have thermal imagining cameras scanning the desert and they search every vehicle. They would catch you even if you parachuted in.
Jaxson King
I'll just leave this here.
Ayden Harris
I went several times in early 2000's when it was half the size that it is now. Had a great time. Hippies by the way were only a small part. Vast array of freaks, partiers, artists, etc.. Like nothing else.
Logan Cook
How come they disallow people of color?
Jack Gonzalez
Ok mate.
Jeremiah Hughes
I think it's more irony than coincidence. There are volunteers and law enforcement watching the event boundaries
Jayden Green
I doubt it was MK Ultra desu. I think it was most likely drugs. Drugs open pathways to allows demons to influence you. The demons that night probably picked a guy who was extremely high and had him jump into the flames for themselves.
Eli Fisher
you whiteys and jews are fucking dumb lmao baka
Brody Cook
>law enforcement watching the event boundaries
No there isn't. Where is there more illegal activity going on? Inside or outside the 'event boundaries"?
Jack Clark
It's virtue signaling for 'free spirits' I've hitchhiked most of the US and it's always hilarious when I meet someone who mentions that they 'burn' or want to go to burning man as if I think that burning man is cool at all.
At one point in the beginning I'm sure it was pretty neat. As with all things, it's success was it's own demise. Now they have topless women trying to sell you red bull and the elites that go have a private security force to ensure you don't interact with them at all.
Alexander Reed
Y O L O O L O
Jace Garcia
Lol definitely inside. But there are definitely BLM rangers patrolling the outside too. And if the perimeter volunteers spot you first LEO are just a radio call away..
Tyler Ortiz
>BLM rangers
LMAO
Luke Edwards
old school pagan rituals like this is pretty much the only way to combat the jews
Dominic Taylor

Adam Wilson
He doesn't know that before blacklivesmatter BLM commonly meant Bureau of land management
Camden Garcia
ah nice that's the year I went, I can see my RV =]
Noah Hernandez
impressive pic. too bad it's now commercialized.
Nathan Turner
Oh is that what he meant? That makes more sense. I was imagining pic related.
Leo Cooper
>I'm just too old. I just realized poor people have taken over the internet... Everything is lost. It's the declining standard of living here. It's been slow and insidious. Taxes up, fees for everything up, wages not keeping up, does not a good mix make.
Hunter Garcia
so powerful
Gavin Garcia
Seems kind of dangerous, maybe they should ban the fire. Maybe we should give them a little nudge.
David Jones
kek wins again
Elijah Butler
Probably some sort of agenda. I used to think it was a secret satanic cult thing hidden in plain sight until I went to it and realized it's just a bunch of rich white and jewish people losing their shit collectively and being as degenerate as they possibly can so they can release the need to be degenerates.
Kevin Peterson
>Last of the Mohicans
Joseph Gray
I dunno but I did notice that the burning man effigy was lit up with lights in places that match up to Kabbalah chakras.
John Jones
I wonder how many cases of venereal diseases, abortions, single moms, and paternity frauds occur as a result.
Elijah Murphy
You can tell this clearly isn't (at least fully) some shady satanic cult thing by the amount of people who were shocked and horrified at the dumb ass doing that.
Maybe some people go to Burning Man for shady reasons but I'd bet most people go there for fun and to be degenerates, and don't even consider that there might be shady shit happening. At least, that was me when went to it kek.
Also, there's a good chance that guy who rant into the fire was on 50 different kinds of drugs.
Bentley Hall
Im sure these people are hopped on drugs too, correct? drugs are part of the scene no doubt.
Joseph Gomez
nice
Ryan Brown
>The whole concept of Burning Man is modelled on Ancient Babylonian Magick called the Rites of Eleusis. Using a combination of magic mushrooms and LSD, which was synthesized from a bread fungus, the wealthy elites of olden times were able to control the entire population of their cities. This stuff has worked for thousands of years, and Burning Man is the latest and greatest incantation and incarnation of it. Well that's a little...disturbing. But I'm not quite sure what they mean by this considering another part of the article says "black magic bad, white magic good, be nice to people and live in harmony".
Isaiah Brown
don't believe everything you read on burners.meme
Easton Wright
Assigning significance would be if some lone person was doing it. Once you got large numbers of people who designate it as important, participate in the activities, believe in the significance of the idea behind it, and do these things whether physically present or not since many follow it on the internet and have smaller local gatherings; what you have there is worship, therefore a growing belief, therefore becomes the religion.
Isaiah Murphy
>a gathering for filthy hippies
Paris Hilton goes every year.
It's really just an advanced way for people to get laid. I'm sure there's some meaning behind the actual Burning Man thing itself, probably something very shallow and elementary. But anyone who pays $400 for a ticket to a large gathering of people like that is probably mainly looking to get fucked.
Thomas Rogers
The only time a man would do that is to get away from, or to release his inner demons...
Isaac Smith
it means it's a larp, a commodity for liberal ideology.
Henry Robinson
Fifty dollar per BJ street walker versus fifteen thousand dollar a night "escort"?
