Well here is someone who has attended Burning Man several times and here are his impressions.
"Burning Man is an ideal living set, it's a fantasy land where there
is virtually no crime, no personal property, no income, no expenses, a
barter economy based on gifting rather than trading, environmentally
friendly (apart from the massive burning destruction at the end of
course), tolerant, safe, secure and a haven for personal liberty.
Simply put, most human beings can't handle that. That's not an
insult, it's just an examination of reality. Most humans want and need a
sense of structure and order, they need to know that there is a "safety
net" of public infrastructure (non-Westernized nations less so), they
need to know that their personal property and security of person is
protected by an organized and capable force. They need to know that the
mail will come, not because someone has created a cool art project and
is playing mailman, they need to know that the mail will come regardless
of whether or not the artist continues his personal commitment. Most
need to know that there will be oversight of public eating facilities,
clean potable water, etc etc etc. Burning Man delivers all these things,
so to the supporter of Burning Man, they may not understand what I'm
saying, BUT, at Burning Man, these things are FAKE, they are an
illusion. Yeah, there's WiFi now at Burning Man, but it's not
economically stable, it couldn't support a society. There's mail at
Burning Man, but you couldn't trust it for commerce. There's so so much
to see and do and touch and feel and play with and jump on and roll in
and more, that Burning Man FEELS real. It FEELS like something you could
get behind and support as a "lifestyle".
Alas dear reader, it's FAKE, completely FAKE."
He has several other points he makes. And he's right. Burning Man IS fake. What was started by a group of idealist anti consumerists, has turned into just what it claims to be against. And the fact that they are blind to their own hypocrisy just adds the icing to the cake.
Just google search Burning Man + Hypocrisy and see what I mean.

The Hypocrisy of the left and the media - Burning Man
Remember David Chalian getting fired over saying that Republicans want black people to drown? Ask yourself this, what about their own supporters party? Known as Burning Man, it started on Monday and goes to next Monday. Why aren't those people canceling their event if they are so concerned with what happens with the aftermath of Hurricane Issac? At least David Chalian got fired for his thoughtless comment, but what about all those other hypocrites who are probably at Burning Man and tweeting their anger about how the Republicans wouldn't end their party in Tampa. At least the GOP postponed the opening of their convention when it was thought Issac might cause problems for the local emergency responders. and what about the Left's false Idols? Ellen Barkin retweeted a desire for the death of hundreds of people at the RNC Convention, while the very real possibility of people Dying in New Orleans didn't seem to bother her at all. Then Samuel L Jackson had a tweet himself where he wished God would send Issac to tampa to take out the nasty Republicans. And yet while many of their fans are out on the Playa enjoying a hedonistic adventure, they say nothing about them having to cancel their party.
What you didn't catch was something rather important. I saw almost no news reports about Burning Man this entire week. Why? Because they couldn't point out the obvious disconnect of attempting to hold their Leftist supporters out at the Playa , to the same standard that they hold Nasty Conservatives and Disgusting Republicans to. That would allow the light to shine in, and they want those curtains tightly closed. If the light got through to expose the truth, well even the Left couldn't ignore their own hypocrisy.
And the hypocrisy is is glaring and obvious to anyone but a lefty. Anyone who doesn't agree in lockstep is evil and must be humiliated, marginalized and destroyed, for their very existence puts lie to the lefts so called "enlightenment"
