Are they still attempting to force that Halloween be a thing in your non-American country?

Are they still attempting to force that Halloween be a thing in your non-American country?

Every single year they attempt it here and every year no one cares

They had big pumpkins at Woolies for halloween. Muppets can fuck right off

it's just corporations forcing homogeneous global culture for maximum profit and political/cultural ownership, yet again

One world, one culture, one government. Stop trying to fight it :3

Why does your cunt hate costumes, candy, and fun?

they do Halloween themed night at clubs though

Yeah I saw weird pumpkin shit in target the other day

Fucking yanks and their degenerate culture.

They have targets in Australia?

Oi do you clubba m8?

Yes. Companies love holidays. However, nobody celebrates that American garbage here. We have our own old confectionary-collecting tradition in Easter.

Yes but in australia, targets are shops, not people

...

>the city of america

Yes and it's very annoying. I think Halloween is exciting but it's an American thing and my country is already Americanised enough. Kids go all October trick or treating because they don't understand it's on the 31th yet they don't come at Fastelavn (danish holiday where kids dress up, trick and treat, hit a barrel with a bat)

The only good thing about Hallow*en is the Steam sale t b h

kek

If I was a normie I would appreciate it because it's an excuse to throw a party, get drunk with friends etc. but I'm not so I'm indifferent

...

Isn't Halloween Irish in origin? And what's up with the autism about kids getting candy

Well during halloween most channels put on horror movies and the movie theaters get a make over to be spooky but that's it.
Aside from rotterdam though those cucks gobble up everything as long as its foreign.

Yes, they try that every fucking year. Especially german-owned media loves to push this idea.
And children are especially gullible for that.
Really sucks but the campaign of the church to keep amerikike holidays at bay are largely successful.

Only 13% of polled children declared as celebrating burger-style halloween.
While at the same time 95% of all questioned people declared to celebrate All Saints Day.

Truly the worst part of the year, especially since literally every single movie released around Halloween is some shitty horror flick.

It's Irish

They try really hard (but it's only little Blacks and Arabs trying to ransom you), also Black Friday tries to be a thing too (but French sellers are too cheap to make substantial price cuts, and it fails).

Waiting for Thanksgiving to be a French holiday at this point.

The Irish halloween were nothing like what it is now. It has gone from a religious holiday to a commercial one

sure thing fatso

That's not funny. You know hundreds of people have died due to gun violence?

It is dipshit. It was originally a religious thing (pagan papist bs)

v. impressed

I really hate how the media is pushing this shit here.

Malls and shit put up decorations, but it's a for profit thing to amuse Shitfians.

>black friday
They are pushing this here too.

No one has ever knocked on my door. If they did I don't even know what I'd do

if you don't like it, then why do you celebrate it?

I don't care, stop acting like I care each time you say "I don't celebrate this dumb amaerican holiday that people in my country celebrate!"

lmao

...

We don't, that's the point. Every year the shops that can sell Halloween-related stuff try and push for it but there's zero real world buzz. They've been trying for decades. It has diminished a lot now to basically a small stand in woolies+coles with some discounted candy and a few decorations for the losers that throw parties

ultimately, non americans here are frustrated that so many of their countrymen eat up american products and sometimes even traditions/holidays

it's why the catalog is constantly filled with "do americans really ____?" threads and threads on other major boards will always have someone sperging out about the US

posters here are impacted by the US in various ways, and they can't do a thing about it outside of leaving the internet

I find it ironic that Australians complain about Halloween homogenisation yet they have to speak our language to make this thread.

>our language
WE

Superior paganic-christian tradition coming through

...

>Halloween
>American

...

what kind of jaded fuck doesnt enjoy halloween

>can wear costumes anywhere
>can pig out on candy
>spooky movie marathons
>parties
>mischief and shenanigans
>spooks

show us your tits Maria

are you a child?

Halloween parties are the best, I guess you wouldn't know

Ahhh yes when the """""""outsiders"""""""" celebrate a Irish holiday for their excuse to larp globally.

It's not like you cunts could make your own holiday for your OWN country but you're just lazy cunts.

Yes, it's pathetic

>Especially german-owned media loves to push this idea.
hmmm

alright nobody gives a shit

>Irish come over in droves
>Celebrate their holidays
>It catches on and becomes something unique

>Evil America stealing our traditions

Nobody asked you to to partake in it but you're so starved for any semblance of culture is any form what so ever you'll take what you can get

Wow that looks super pretty.

Don't see why people can't have fun celebrating Halloween (All Hallowes Een aka Eve of All Saints) AND All Saints AND Dia de los Muertos AND whatever else.

>It's normal for Aussies not to celebrate Halloween
>It's weird that Americans don't celebrate Easter
At least Halloween observes an historical event.

...

I heard Irish Halloween is a shadow of the American version (much like Irish St Pattys Day). Irish Halloween was originally just some bonfires and jumping horses over them (wtf). All the fun comes from USA

Kek, good post

...

>invent holiday
>don't observe it in any serious way
>complain when superior countries take it from you and actually do something with it

BTFO

I'm surprised you can hear anything over the gunshots but

>Throughout Ireland and Britain, the household festivities included rituals and games intended to foretell one's future, especially regarding death and marriage.
>Apples and nuts were often used in these divination rituals. They included apple bobbing, nut roasting, scrying or mirror-gazing, pouring molten lead or egg whites into water, dream interpretation, and others
>youths were led house-to-house reciting verses—some of which had pagan overtones—in exchange for food. If the household donated food it could expect good fortune from the 'Muck Olla'; not doing so would bring misfortune.

No sorry we didn't invent your slags dressing in nurse outfits so DeShaun can fuck your ex girlfriend while you wank in the corner lad.

...

>some of which had pagan overtones
Wouldn't the church have problems with that?

Serious question, since Ireland was so Catholic until recently

>Apples and nuts were often used in these divination rituals. They included apple bobbing, nut roasting, scrying or mirror-gazing, pouring molten lead or egg whites into water, dream interpretation, and others

So a bunch of lame medieval-tier fortune telling to do with modern Halloween.

>youths were led house-to-house reciting verses—some of which had pagan overtones—in exchange for food. If the household donated food it could expect good fortune from the 'Muck Olla'; not doing so would bring misfortune.

So a stupider version of Trick or Treating which is something seen all over Europe anyway.

Anything can have "pagan overtones" if you reach for it. The super secret pagan roots of Halloween were really popular for Protestants to complain about (and later on for modern neopagans to get excited about).

>so an original version of everything we have today because everything I have has to come from something else since I've been looking at a made in china tag on my clothes for the majority of my life
>seen all over Europe anyway
>wasn't at the time

I feel like your post deserves to be in one of those spurdo images, either way amazing analyzation my thick skulled African American friend. It's almost as if it was originally created here and through the years developed different tropes but still attained it's original meaning to fit in with modern times.

Had a bit of a chuckle, mate.

Can't believe someone saved my OC
