Pyramid Lake is now a fully autonomous collective in Nevada. Hexbear users are sitting in their nice, air-conditioned, bedrooms while actual workers are out there building community support during a disaster. They are pooling resources, rationing, and helping one another survive. I thought the point was to have support, albeit critical, for AES, but I guess not. Burning Man is closer to Marx's ideal socialist state than China ever will be.

Can we just defederate from them already? What is the point in continuing to exist with people who actively spew hatred and misinformation about our comrades in Nevada?

These are people not rulers.

The majority of Burning Man participants these days are members of the bourgeoisie, with those that are not, many of them in direct control of the policies that dictate the majority of our social interactions online. Some are influencers, a cancer upon a dying society.

They are closer to 'being in control' than not.
