Gumball Gumption posted:Gathering of the Juggalos is way more pure because they don't need to lie to themselves about it being a few days of hedonism. Nothing wrong with that, just be honest The difference is that Juggalos go into the event with the expectation of contracting dysentery from rancid mudpitts

bedpan posted:remember that a decade ago was 2013 and not 2003 Yeah late 90's was still mostly kooky art folks, like obviously there were still rich people involved, but it hadn't hit the point where there were airports and whole camps ran by hired help thing. By 2013 the overt corruption was totally there, but if you ever pointed it out, you'd get told "you don't understand the spirit of radical inclusion things are different on the playa," and they still would pretend it was a tiny art fest. Now there's literally branded stages and pavilions, so burners can have a little commodification as a treat.

“inclusion” is a funny word isn’t it because you can just say you’re inclusive and there’s a sort of understood morality point there…and part of your brain goes okay that sounds good and then you look at what it takes for a person to physically go to something like burning man and you realize it’s inclusive in the same way everything else appropriated by wealth is inclusive; conveniently ignoring and excluding, through passively not inviting, the poor

Also most of those kooky art folks have always been right wing rugged individualist types. That's really the thing with hippies, that whole philosophy is about believing yourself to be some flavor of magical ubermensch.

Something about anarchist projects starting out as vaguely anti-capitalist, then getting co-opted by capital with no push back whatsoever, then sending the cops to run over people protesting your mud orgy seems incredibly on-the-nose.

IDK what it is with artists but I have met more insane right wing libertarians among artists than any just about any other group of people. Nearly all my art teachers in school were conservative and anti union, lol I guess when you think about it, lampreys would probably give us some impassioned defenses of sharks if we gave them the opportunity

Nearly all my art teachers in school were conservative and anti union, lol the standard narrative of the artiste is the triumph of the very special boy over the boring, untalented masses. the usual narrative tragedy is that the artiste so often dies before they get to enjoy the material fruits of their singular genius.

sitchensis posted:can you explain this more They funded a lot of art programs in the 20th century with the purpose of shaping the art that was produced. The Iowa Writers Workshop was CIA funded to encourage the production of the great American novel that would reinforce the rugged individualism of the US. Instead of controlling cultural output and discussions through censorship offices like so many other countries the US primarily does it by integrating and taking over the places where the discussions first happen and where artists first learn.

gotta lot of work to do striking but if you're interested at all in bm, come out. I'm happy to give an insider's perspective on what happens here. very very little of the bureaucracy and public works are publicly accessible information, like the fact that there's a decent hospital with medical imaging and MDs on site. the media only reports on "dirty hippies rained out" and Twitter boosts awful techbro shitlords or influencers with Starlinks. I'm in a weird position where I have internet access from the org and can give a perspective that's none of the above. for all the social media panic that people were trapped here and desperate to get out of a himanitarian emergency, only 15% of people actually left yesterday when the gates opened because of how well-provisioned everyone is
