"Civic responsibility" is a ballsy claim from a bunch of first worlders exploiting child sweatshop labor, wasting resources on aura farming.
Burning Man is to the stated principles what Kraft singles is to cheese.
Just more empty American platitudes, advertising, marketing; watch! as rich capitalists role play rural community their capitalism tore apart!
The Party in 1984 is not just metaphor for a government but any group that puts its rhetoric before reality. Just some first world LARPers telling a story about themselves while the output is there for all to see.
Have you been? Or are you basing this on second-hand information?
Once. Was impressed by the human effort in general, little specifically stood out.
Worked in low voltage wiring through college. Have been a part of groups rallying behind large infrastructure projects; on farms, new office buildings, rapid response to weather related crisis (tornado alley). It's actually a very common human thing.
Been to many an art fair around the world and the minutiae of Burning Man blends right in.
Leave no trace while blowing fossil fuels into the air hauling tons of stuff to the desert. Nice loophole.
That's quite the straw man you've constructed, which I suppose is appropriate for a Burning Man thread.
Appeal to authority you don't have to dictate what is and isn't logical fallacy.
Easier to regurgitate some old philosophy you read than think. You look educated in philosophy if not intelligent in logic.
These are informal fallacies, so logic’s not at issue here. Though you whiffed on your accusation.
