I read the news every day. Any given day in my life you can be sure of two things. I will drink coffee and i will read the news. To be honest, i mostly just glance the headlines because that's enough to give me general overview of what is going on in the world, but there are always a couple of articles a day that warrant a clickthrough

A couple of friends went to Burning Man a few years ago. They said they had fun, but I just didn’t get the appeal. It sounded so wasteful and trashy.

"“They’re delusional, it’s idiocy,” fumed Molly, a festival attendee. “They think they’re going to fix climate change by blocking Burning Man? I don’t care what their argument is, they can go fuck themselves.”"
"“I think protest is very important, but destroying and inconveniencing people doesn’t do anything,” said a man named Will Semmbs, who was on the way to the festival. “I have solar panels on my RV,” he noted. “The protesters drove here in gas-powered cars. They’re literally making the climate worse.”"
Wow.... those people sure are bummed about their party... but good to know they can PROVE they care about the planet, with their tone of righteous indignation even if it is *slightly undercut* by their impatience with the conversation at hand! Ha!

The dude abides.
I wonder if these events are different in the EU. I picture the stressed Americans going, "I only have 5 days of vacation a year! I'm, BLOWING IT ALL ON BURNING MAAAAAAAAN!" and then of course all that shit is so stressful that they can't even join the collective when they get there because they're so rigid about having SO MANY NEEDS because anxiety/time/money/stuff, ya know.. Americanism.

And - you mention those isolated and impractical communities? Welcome to Hilton Head, the home of these gated and impractical communities. The idea WAS to separate where people live from amenities -- i.e. -- commerce centers. So - of course, you require a car. And this is where I live for half the year.
