the natural response to a shortage of supplies is to destroy them

[kutsuwamushi]

I'm watching the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix.

About one hour into the documentary, the attendees have arrived and have been directed to the ramshackle tent city where they'll be staying.

And like, when I started watching the documentary, I knew that I'd be tempted to laugh at all these rich, privileged kids getting their comeuppance - especially the "influencers" who got owned by influencer culture. I tried to push that down and watch with an open mind.

Of course, they immediately start fighting over who will get their luggage first. They immediately start looting supplies and hoarding them instead of sharing. One of the idiots that they interviewed for the documentary just straight-up admits to destroying tents and pissing on mattresses because he didn't want neighbors. He laughs while he's saying it.

I mean, ????

I do not understand people like this. And I do not like them.

...okay it's one thing to do something like this (very bad), but then admit it on camera? Laughing? -.-

Yeah, not only was he a selfish douchebag, he didn't seem to be ashamed of it at all. That says something about the kind of culture he's a part of, I think.

That documentary was WILD. It's so hard to imagine people acting like that in real life, but THEY DO. Wtf.
