Seconded; I've never been to Burning Man, it's for insufferable bourgeois cunts, but I was a very long time on the festival & Grateful Dead circuit, there are zillions of these fuckers ... this one is a lolcow, if even that (in his "culture," some of his behavior is quite normal) only because he documents online. Most of the others are "lost in the mist" between concert and festival. Or at least were, I dunno, I've neither been to a festival since the social media era nor ever had IRL-connected social media, but I suspect these freaks stay the same.Burningman has 70,000 of these types along with bored suburb kids. Your friend was talking about any number of acid idled "messiah" types but not this guy. He's outside of a Starbucks begging for more egg salad sandwiches so you know his cult isn't generating much influence. He's less noticeable than the passing whiff of weed at burningman.
I might have turned out like this guy but by nature I'm too cynical and thuggish, the warm feelings the drugs gave were just an indicator that the drugs were fun and worth money, not a message, although I learned to speak the lingo to fit in. Honestly fuck all of them.
Also, he's pretty bad at trying to start a cult and I really don't see much evidence of him actually trying to proselytize (the 144k thing is Biblical, people, not something he actually has a goal of, come on...the state of Biblical literacy in this fucking country...Jesus wept, people...)
There are actual cults in that scene some of which are really quite scary and overlap with the drug trafficking organizations from time to time.
The scene and people in it in general have a particularly nasty propensity for eating up and destroying young (especially blonde IME actually for some reason and they all sort of seem to wind up looking the same) girls in the 16-20 age range,too.
Almost worse. But almost. Florida stays worst with tenacity...He’s actually only been in Florida for a little while. He spent the majority of his life in Arizona, and then California for awhile.
The Scary Pranksters...
I'm using that. Tree Thugger is way too old, smells like phish. Phucking puppy pulling patchy pants phake pham pharmie popping bastards.
