I’ve long considered Burning Man a douchey and pretentious festival for rich hipster douchebags and their fellow travelers. I’ve never, however, considered it to be a neopagan rite of passage or some such shit. That takes a wilder imagination than mine. Coup plot conspirator Jeffrey Clark considers Burning Man sinister, not douchey. I consider him to be a sinister douchebag who participated in a coup plot so he could be attorney general.
One of the weirdest online feuds in recent memory happened last weekend between Clark and Neal Katyal. It all started with a retweet (re-X?) of a Katyal tweet by Criminal Defendant Clark:
Why am I not surprised that Neal Katyal made it a priority to get to a neopagan ritual?
See picture below in lower right.
Pray that these folks come to the light & realize that the only path is through and to our Lord.
We are all fallen and need God, and to repent as a Nation. https://t.co/6m9Dk1Ddcj

I think Clark needs to repent his coup plot crimes. He seems to be warming up to become the Chuck Colson of the coup plot case. Prisons always need amateur pastors. Clark could be the Boyd Crowder of whatever pokey he’s assigned to:
Katyal took the high road in his reply:
Dear Criminal Defendant Clark:
I am a Hindu. Are you suggesting I do not belong in this country?
You might be better off studying our Founders, the text of our First Amendment, and (albeit for other reasons), the Criminal Code.
I sincerely wish you the best,

Clark clearly doesn’t understand the first rule of holes because he kept digging:
Dear Neal, I did not impugn Hinduism.
I firmly believe in our First Amendment protecting religious liberty.
I will impugn Burning Man paganism and the drug fests it hosts.
And I will impugn that satanic shirt you were wearing. 😂
Nice try with the Hinduism diversion.
Maybe… https://t.co/Eo8pvIAyx4

Clark is channeling Rudy Giuliani in his implicit attack on Ruby Freeman. That’s been adjudicated as a lie, but Clark keeps the lie alive. I wonder if he’s as drunk as Rudy? If not, what’s his excuse: pardon trolling? The Kaiser of Chaos can’t pardon you in the Georgia RICO case even if it’s removed to federal court, Jeffy boy.
Jeffrey Clark has one important thing in common with the Indicted Impeached Insult Comedian: Everything he touches turns to shit. Culture war smack talk won’t save you from jail, asswipe. Save your bible banging for your future fellow prisoners. You’re going down.
Repeat after me: Neal Katyal is not a pagan baby.
The last word goes to Creedence Clearwater Revival:
I miss the good old days when Burning Man was a super weird festival for hippies and not for rich bros to say “my DMT trip at Burning Man changed my life, the Blue Lady told me that greed is good and I should support anything that punishes the poor.”
