A week long vacation in a desert with no natural resources that more or less requires people to ship in all of their supplies for their stay is inherently not inclusive. It is "inclusive" in the same way "just take a gap year and go backpacking around Europe" is "inclusive". The only people who think "anyone can do it" are those who have lived incredibly privileged >= middle class lives.
Like just about all of the "ten principles": Maybe it was true at one point. It has not been true for decades. And, in a lot of ways (especially "leave no trace" and "civic responsibility"), it is antithetical to them.
And, just to make it clear: I am not saying it needs to be inclusive. I am a rock climber. You don't get much more "privileged yuppie white guy" than that. But this "it is radically inclusive" nonsense is exactly why Burning Man is more or less "larping as a poor at a rave" for techbros.
In this provocative piece, a wealthy white guy reads a Slate article and goes on a rant about how fellow wealthy white men ruin everything.
Performance art is truly the heart of Burning Man.
Assuming that sounded more "witty" and less "obnoxious teenager" in your head, huh?
No it still reads solid if you're not as dumb as the guy I'm responding to
