Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls 
What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

Halloween? At least it got some social meaning behind it.
Wait until you realize how many countries specialy in the global south have “Black Friday” discounts now. I don’t think there is anything quite as pathetic other than being a literal gusano.
Anyway one of the best examples of cultural imperialism by capitalism, shoving some meaningless sign in the language of the imperial core to signify a holiday that these people don’t even celebrate.
I don’t know if there is a better source somewhere or if it was discussed before, but anyway its quite obvious even on the wiki entry just look at the around the world section and you’ll notice it literaly became a thing “overnight”, since 2010s with the growth of online retail around the world.
Actualy thinking about it now its quite scary to think, western capitalism was extremely effective here.
