"Only a few of us can actually decipher the bullshit enough to know that both sides are out to screw the American Public."
Which itself is bullshit, because each side believes earnestly they are in the right. Neither side believes that in the long run it's position is worse for America, but is instead better. One or both sides may be incorrect in this belief...but each side believes in the truth of their fundamental principles.
It's good that you put "Sovereign" in quotes, because they certainly are'nt Sovereign States. They can't choose to make war, for example, which is something a sovereign state can do.
They are also bound by the federal laws of the government of the United States of America, some of which will be the ACA laws which will be funded shortly. So get ready.
"But no matter how hard we stop our ears, we can't stop hearing you people talk about how awesome you are and how great it is to be away from us, if only for a week."
And yet you clicked on the article about how to have fun at Burning Man. No one made you.
So now, not only are you a hipster for hating on hipsters, which is the latest trend, you are also a hypocrite.
Except that hipsters are in self-denial, and would never be caught admitting they are part of something so trendy, as apparently hipsters revel in their uniqueness while at the same time acting like other hipsters.
And so I deny that I am a hipster.
Which makes me a hipster.
Which proves how utterly stupid the term hipster is to begin with.
No, I think there needs to be a lot more hating of the haters for this to happen. At some point the folks who crawl out of the woodwork to hate burners will slowly disappear, and then those hating the haters will start to disappear. Unless you hate the idea of the haters of the haters disappearing, in which case you will be starting a new trend, which some people will hate.
No. People appreciate it when you offer them hand sanitizer after using a portable toilet in a hot desert. It's a nice thing to do. It's not on the scale of building an orphanage or curing AIDS, but its a nice gesture. Deal with it.
There is no hipster code, you moron. This may come as a shock to you, but some people like to do things, not because they are cool or trendy or in, but because they find something inherent good quality in that thing. Some people listen to indie rock bands or drink craft beer and extol the virtues of said band or beer because they LIKE IT. Not because it is cool. This is why idiot hipster-haters are idiots. They think people who do these things do it because other people are doing it, when often it's because they find some good quality in the trend they are following.
For example, I have a massive, gigantic long handlebar moustache. Supposedly I am a hipster, although my age places me outside the normal hipster age range, whatever the hell that is. My massive moustache gets comments all the time...little kids love it, women comment on it, it's gotten me laid more than a few times, and I have met a ton of other gents who compete in bearding competitions and have made a ton of new friends. I like my "hipster" moustache because of the benefits it brings me, not just because it's the cool thing to do. And apparently defending something that I like, whether it be beer, music, or facial hair, for example, makes me a "pretentious douche".
In any event, most of the so-called hipsters I know don't give two shits what people like you think about them...they just go on being themselves.
Yep. You are definitely a hipster. You don't happen to have any facial hair do you? Hipster-haters tend to put folks with facial hair in the hipster category. Be careful.
Only some people go to Burning Man and engage in "radical self reliance". Some people just go to party, and having to bus out your own trash and cook for yourself is a minor inconvenience. People go to BM for different reasons. Doing the self-reliance thing is fun the first time, but it gets tedious; I personally don't want to spend a ton of money to go do that. I go to BM for other reasons, just like tens of thousands of other people.
Bullshit. Hipster is a meaningless word; it's a word used to describe anyone who does anything trendy nowadays. If you are a square and young, and pretty much do anything that statistically a majority of the population is doing, such as drinking a bud-light rather than a craft beer, or wearing a button up shirt on a regular basis rather than a t-shirt with an obscure rock band logo on it; then you are not a hipster. Everyone else, well, get ready to have to deal with all the hipster-hating crap people such as you spew all the time. Pretentious douchebag.
And of course, its the same comment every year...Burning Man has jumped the shark; it's no longer cool....people were saying that 15 years ago. And every year people have to point out to people like you that the event keeps getting bigger and bigger and yet advertisements are STILL banned at Burning Man.
Careful with your hipster-hating attitude. Hipster-hating is the latest trend. And a slavish attention to the latest trends...well, that makes you a hipster.
Because it turns out that a large portion of people who go to Burning Man are in the tech field. Many are from Northern California, and Burning Man is a place where a lot of folks with tech experience come and put their knowledge to use by cobbling together interesting technical devices for fun. It's not just camping in the desert, although it is that at a bare minimum.
Be careful about your hipster-hating ways... hating people who want to take a fun vacation in the desert is the latest trend, you know. And following the latest trends might make you...a hipster.
Ah and here we go with the Burnin Man hating folks. Anyone who wants to do something different for vacation than go on a cruise or sit on a back porch drinking a crappy beer...yeah, those people are douches.
Of course you know hipster-hating is the latest trend...be careful about following the latest trend...it might turn you into a hipster.

OK. "correctly".
Stop with the hipster hate. It's the cool thing to do now, so hating on hipsters makes YOU a hipster.
tl:dr

Which makes you a hypohipstercrite or something.
What's wrong with Daft Punk?
Do you like football?
Do you ever extol the virtues of your favorite team?
Hipster.
And as we all know, hipsters love irony, so the OP, I'm afraid, is quite the hipster.
Except that hipsters are in self-denial, and would never be caught admitting they are part of something so trendy, as apparently hipsters revel in their uniqueness while at the same time acting like other hipsters.

Which does in fact make them cool.

I go to BM for other reasons, just like tens of thousands of other people.
If you are hating on hipsters, you aren't just following the latest trend...you are actively engaging in it.
By the definition of the hipster-hating morons who frequent these boards, that makes you a hipster.
Bullshit. Hipster is a meaningless word; it's a word used to describe anyone who does anything trendy nowadays.

And they wish you'd stay away, square.
Be careful about your hipster-hating ways... hating people who want to take a fun vacation in the desert is the latest trend, you know. And following the latest trends might make you...a hipster.

Some people go to Burning Man, so those people might care.
Also, why should I care whether you care or not?
What basis do you have to believe that if he is granted asylum in one of those countries, Russia will allow him to leave?
