    I’d be a bit hesitant to call Burning Man attendees liberals. It’s a big crowd and there are plenty of right-wing types there

      I’m using “liberal” in the sense socialists use “liberal” - someone who supports corporate capitalism but pretends waving a rainbow flag puts them on the left, someone who pays lip service to “equality” while shunning the radical change necessary for genuine equality.

      Liberals are right wing capitalists. Republicans, Libertarians, and Democrats are all liberals. And I think that covers 99% of Burning Man attendees. The actual progressives and countercultures long since moved on.
