            the idea we need to export or celebrate more america

            TIL, having fun by dressing up is a uniquely American tradition that nobody else in the world has ever done.

              Americans invented giving away gifts and treats to the community. No one else was able to conceive this before 1845 in Wyoming

            Yankees gonna yank. Bacically every christian country celebrates the 1st november in this or that way, but the halloween is uniquely US thing, way more than even current iteration of consoom christmas, and its spread should be worrying since its only spreads on the wave of US cultural offensive.

            Like we even have this in Poland now ffs despite (or rather thanks to) our version of that holiday is probably the most boring and awful of entire world. We should get the LatAm version instead, but the TV drilled the pumpkin shit into heads for good now.

            What no grass does to a mf

            As I said, have fun. Let me not have fun

            No. I will not “just let people enjoy things” nor will I “just let people not enjoy things.”

      I don't understand what people on this board don't understand about Halloween. Idk if you live in America, but Halloween seems to be considered an American holiday on here. Everybody roasts the nation for having no real communal connections, for the isolation the workers and their children feel, but whenever there's an event that is completely dependent on neighbors to be good to each other to work they get all up in arms about how it's "stupid" to participate when its literally just giving children candy. It may seem dramatic, but Halloween (in the US) is pretty much the only time of year you can knock on your neighbor's doors without any reservations.

      Handing out $10 worth of candy is the most many people will give back to their communities that year. That is definitely worth being critical of. But the one time US citizens decide to just do something cool for no real reason other than to see each other's costumes and give each other free shit really shouldn't be on the chopping block.

        Where are you seeing anti-halloween posters?

        I see exactly one poster on hexbear with the extremely normal take "giving out candy on halloween? p sus."

          There are a few people who have made multiple threads about how Halloween is America brainrot that Europe is too good to participate in. Said threads are usually split on the subject. Personally, I just think Halloween is too good of a holiday to roast Americans for. Like I said, one day of year you can knock on any of your neighbor's doors without the worry of being shot or berated. It's one of the only Western holidays that shouldn't be any sort of struggle session.
