    Are they protesting the actual burning of the wooden man, like that’s a huge environmental hazard? Have they not heard of forest fires?

    At the same time a ton of the people blocked are in trucks and off-road vehicles in a flat-ass desert. Go around the dipshits? Surely your trucks can handle being off road for 10 feet.

      Man that reason I made up for why they are protesting sure makes these protesters dumb.

      Maybe it’s because you got 80.000 tech bros and other rich assholes driving hundreds of miles in gas guzzling trucks and RVs to have a bourgeoisie orgy and leave a huge mess behind.

        The protesters were actually focusing on the people who fly their private jets into burning man. IIRC Burning man has a private airstrip and celebrities will fly in on the jets, which is environmentally terrible and goes against the ethos of the group.

        The protesters were blockading the road calling on BM to ban private jets from the event. As well as a few other demands.
