It’s always sparkling capitalism if you’re an Atheist.
Shareholders thank you for buying many of their junk with precalculated breaking points though!
Not the most horrific thing, wanting to give people gifts. You don’t even have to buy them, could make something yourself and whatnot
Maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion here, but how about you just let other people have their fun with a holiday however they want? With everything being a constant firehouse of shit coming at us lately, just let us be happy for a day and indulge in this nonsense.
Exactly. I believe Halloween decor spending has been catching up to Christmas decor spending, but some people get particularly touchy about Christmas. People just want some joy. No, it shouldn’t have to be associated with purchasing, but many people have more money than time to invest in creating the ambience they want. There are so many more important things to get worked up about than people spending money on things that make them happy.
I’m sorry but tge fact that we can’t even say “Fuck Christmas” is part of the problem. toxic positivity is baked into the holiday. it adds pressure to an already dark time
historically the holiday was about banding together through the darkest part of winter, so you are definitely speaking from a place of tradition, but…
we’re allowed to feel differently from the culturally accepted way of thinking about this holiday, even if we all enjoy it. fuck christmas.
For the schismatics in the room Christmas is in January 😔
I’ll be damned before bending the knee to the king of Rome!
… in this case, it’s sparkling (for 5 minutes) consumerism enforced by capitalism 90+% of the time.
Idk, but I can’t believe plastic reindeer & plastic cocacolaman (Santa) everywhere really bring any joy to most people.
Everyone is free to enjoy the holidays, working retail kind of sucked the life out of it for me personally.
Okay Buzz Killington.
I imagine huffing their own farts this much must catch them a buzz, at least.
It must suck to be miserable 365 days a year.
