Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The holiday that showed up because of it being the day before All Saint's Day isn't religious?

[–] alekwithak 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The holiday about spooky things and kids dressing up and getting candy is not religiously exclusionary no. Christmas' origins were not, either, but we're not talking about the origins of these holidays, we're discussing them in their current form, so go be a pedant on some other thread. I'm sure there's plenty where the pedantry could actually be relevant to the conversation taking place.

It sounds more like you're just looking for reasons why your capitalist holiday is somehow more pickme acceptable than the other capitalist holiday.

You're not quirky and unique because you like candy more than presents.

Wtf are you talking about? Are you that hard up for an argument? Lemmy.ml is thataway. Anyway I'm Jewish and have been my whole life so the three months of Christmas in America made me feel extremely isolated and excluded as a kid, but I actually got to participate in Halloween. You can try and invalidate the experience of millions of non-christian non-white Americans but that doesn't make you quirky and unique, either. No one is thinking "wow this dude is so smart!" for pointing out the capitalist undertone that's shared by literally every holiday in western society. Now do kindly fuck off.
