  • I’m sure some middle class people can afford to go to burning man. But you’re being wilfully ignorant if you think burning man isn’t catered to the rich. It’s almost purely a status symbol event. It’s definitely where people go to show off their lavish wealth and take pictures for Instagram. I’m pretty sure if they took a survey 80%+ would be wealthy people.

    I’m middle class, and I’m spending a couple hundred dollars on my holiday this week, I almost can’t fathom spending thousands living in a tent in a desert.

    But you’re right, the middle class has been eroded. What was considered middle class in 1970 would be rich today. That’s just because most people are worse off financially.



















  • DW, I never take anything as hostile really, it felt like a sarcastic joke to me (I’m British) but I wanted to get into a more in-depth discussion which I ended up getting because of your joke. So congratulations.

    Read and comment to my other replies if you’d like, I’d just be repeating myself here although there are far more things wrong with social media that I didn’t bring up.


  • What issues could only be address with social media but not normal methods of getting across news?

    It’s ruined generations, Gen Z is fucked,only caring about internet clout, whatever the younger generation is called is even more fucked, their entirer lives documented and uploaded to the internet by their shitty parents, including their most embarrassing moments. Boomers are being brain washed too.

    Like, fuck. Just think about all the misinformation and conspiracies that have been able to thrive online because of social media. It’s a big part of why society is going down the pooper, imo.

    The only positive really is it kills our bordem, but we had to sacrifice our dopamine receptors.
