Dozens of hippies who got stuck at a festival in Panama due to coronavirus realized that the collectivist utopia they sought after is actually “hell” as they bicker over food and territory. One doesn’t want to laugh too much at their misfortune, but dear God, this is funny. The Tribal Gathering Festival, billed as “paradise on earth,” was supposed to end on March 15, but 40 western hippies remain trapped at the site because Panama announced a national emergency due to COVID-19 and placed them under quarantine. A subsequent ban on all entry and departure flights now means the hippies are likely to be stuck in “paradise” until the end of May. A VICE documentary short about their plight shows attendees complaining about how they are “stuck in hell” as they struggle with bad weather and major sewage issues at the campsite. “At first it was like a paradise, but when you are locked in, it’s not paradise any more,” one attendee said. VICE reports that the festival was “designed to be a temporary paradise where people from western cities could learn from indigenous communities about how to rebalance society and live in symbiosis with the earth.” However, any sense of communitarian oneness appears to have been washed away as attendees bicker and fight over food and territory. “Don’t try to steal our food, I’ll get really upset with you,” one organizer tells the rest of the crowd. “And remember where you are, you’re in my fucking manor,” he adds. “I’ve been camping on a beach for 80 days!” said Doug Francisco, who led Extinction Rebellion climate change activists last year. “While the festival was still going on, the police came in and tried to shut it down.” Food, cleaning products and tobacco is all in short supply, with some hippies having to do manual labor to stay fed. Attendees decided to visit the festival at the end of February despite serious government warnings against international travel and the expectation, which was obvious by that time, that coronavirus would devastate flight routes. “While the situation is terrible, of course, it has also become extremely comical,” reports the District Herald. “The hippies are now being forced to live in their theoretical utopia — and they aren’t having the amazing time that they imagined.”

Fascinating story and nice video documentary. On the one hand, my concerns would be money, food and returning home, but then you can't complain about the weather or location. It beats house arrest in my humble abode by miles.
Places like that are great vacation spots because the change of pace is scenery & weather are extremely welcome to an overworked and overstressed person living in a place with lousy weather. Problem is, after 5-15 days, you get bored, even with the weather and surf. Even in one's home, there are things to do, like those pesky projects you'we put off for months and years. Not so on a permanent vacation.

What a SCREAM. I didn't know hippies still existed that much.... Friends in PA say this supposed free wonderland is just copying the USA re the virus hoax, and from this it sounds like Panama has run itself ragged trying to keep up with each new stance and regimen DC announces. This could be deliberate gaslighting of the masses, BTW. Bombarding ppl with two completely contradictory statements or orders is a known way to break them down psychologically. _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA! Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
