I've never seen a meme like this for a St. Patrick's Day parade.
You've never seen anything about the corporatization of St. Patty's Day?? You must be blind then, because all types of beers and other groups come out with Patty's Day themed advertisements. There are definitely memes out there about it. Do I need to Google them for you?
Sure. Google it.
Really this is just one iteration of many, I can present a bunch more like this! Just let me know if you still can't find any of these!
These are all about drinking. Not a single one of them is even close to the OP meme.
Is it not clear that drinking beer is what a holy day has been turned into for all sorts of people to make money off of? How is that not identical to people trying to make money off of gays or punks by simplifying and enshittifying what used to be held sacred and real?
You didn't provide a single example of a meme complaining about corporate sponsorship of St. Patrick's Day (like OP's is doing for pride).
This is my favorite.
