edit: now it’s a meme and we can all hug in the comments.
I don’t mind people putting up decorations early, it’s when stores swap out their seasonal stock early that triggers me
Halloween is the only good holiday. It is the only one that maintains any connection to it’s pre modern roots. It is about giving candy to children for free fuck capitlaism. It is about enjoying everything society says is wrong. It requires some creativity in ways most people don’t get to experience the rest of the year. It invites experimentation and self expression.
Halloween is still pretty capitalistic. You have to buy the candy you are handing out, and are encouraged to purchase decorations and make your home thematic to the season
Have you just never been to a club on halloween? Halloween is, by no stretch of the imagination, free from capitalist endeavors.
Those between 18 and 34 participate at the highest rate, and they end up spending the most on their costumes (capitalism).
You can like Halloween all you want, don’t kid yourself into believing that it’s somehow “pure”
