Man that reason I made up for why they are protesting sure makes these protesters dumb.
Maybe it's because you got 80.000 tech bros and other rich assholes driving hundreds of miles in gas guzzling trucks and RVs to have a bourgeoisie orgy and leave a huge mess behind.
The protesters were actually focusing on the people who fly their private jets into burning man. IIRC Burning man has a private airstrip and celebrities will fly in on the jets, which is environmentally terrible and goes against the ethos of the group.
The protesters were blockading the road calling on BM to ban private jets from the event. As well as a few other demands.
