Thread 216371418

It's insane how deeply Americanised we are. The stores are Halloween themed and have entire isles full of candies. Some people even put decorations on their houses. I've seen so many kids outside in costumes. They knock on doors but they don't even say "trick or treat" they just stand there like fucking idiots because this isn't our culture, we just imitate.

extremely déclassé

I remember the first German Halloween. It was 1991, and the first Gulf War had brought protests and carneval was cancelled because of the war. Some companies sat on stores full of unsold costumes and thought what if we introduced Halloween into this country and try to sell the costumes later in the year? They lobbied the media to buy and dub Halloween specials of American TV shows and their plan worked.

Basically it was just like in this Simpsons clip:

>>216371559
Nobody knows they have to say trick or treat. We're just like negroes imitating the white man, we don't know why we're doing it but we do it because we saw it on the telly

>>216371418 (OP)
I know that feel but we share a language with the yanks, what's your excuse?

>>216371515
To be fair that's a very French thing to do. ESPECIALLY the seething at the US part of it.
It's just their culture anon.

>the americanisation of france is a deep issue
>oh but millions of syrians immigrants? that's fine

>>216371418 (OP)
Arte France said Halloween was first celebrated in Gallia (France), before it moved to Ireland and from there later to America.

>but sacre bleu halloween iz not francais

>>216372224
That sounds as ridiculous as Varg's claims that ancient Egyptians were germanics

>>216372006
Halloween isn't American though. It's akin to people repeating the lie that 'Coca Cola made Father Christmas start wearing red!'. That isn't true, but people who think they're clever repeat it and so keep the brand name in the public consciousness at a time when everyone is that little bit more spendthrift than usual.

Ironically, the 'Americanised' aspect of English society is thinking native English traditions and customs are from the US.

Halloween is actually irish

>>216372224
>Halloween was first celebrated in Gallia
like saying early Christians listened to mariah carey and left cookies for santa next to the plastic tree

>>216372297
>>216372331
You can watch the documentary. It's documented in 1st century France. Documents about Halloween in Ireland are over a thousand years older than that.

>>216372304
>It's actually a pagan tradition!
All the plastic tat and other crap is American

There is a great evil on this night...

Absolutely barbaric
L'empire est perdu

>>216372367
yes but we're talking about something completely different.
Halloween for the pagans was completely different from the Halloween of the Americans. Only thing in common is the date

bet you think a yorkshire is a wolf

>>216372567
Please explain why you use Asian technology to watch American TV shows and use American sites to complain about le americanization while immigrants are destroying your country
Come on Pierre

>>216372409
By that logic Christmas is American. The only major change Americans made to Halloween was using pumpkins over turnips because they're easier to carve.

>>216372304
>>216372617
>Eternal
Father Christmas and Halloween are both American. Celebrate the carnival if you want to dress up.

>>216372588
You don't get it bro, Muhammed is raping and chopping off heads in his country but dressed up little kids knocking on doors and getting candy is the problem

>>216372588
complaining about one thing doesnt mean i have to bring up every other thing that merits complaining
perhaps you'll hear more from me in ramadan
fucking bruce

>>216372735
>ah mon dieu, le 'allo'een is americans destroying our culture!
>but immigrants coming in by the millions and literally destroying and burning our cities is fine, bring more in

>>216372735
Halloween is not a problem it's a wholesome holiday for kids and it's not just American either. The entire anglosphere celebrates it. When English is the world language it's a given that they will export lots of media and culture, French shouldn't have lost its top spot retard

>>216372567
What parts did America invent?
Dressing up as monsters has been a thing for centuries. People here did it because tonight is the night that the cattle herds would be brought back from their Summer grazing in the mountains, to the Winter pastures back home. The young people who had been up there herding them for the last several months would disguise themselves to lower their odds of being harassed on the way home.
Trick-or-treating was also done for fruits and nuts here long before America was discovered. It's not even uncommon for Irish holidays. Wren Day had children dress up as wrens and go door to door asking for a coin, and there was another holiday celebrated in the Claddagh that had a similar tradition.

>>216372567
Of course it is. It's different for the Irish, too. The documentary is about the origins. It's not like Americans said one day "let's invent Halloween". They just misunderstood old foreign customs and turned them into a celebration and the sale of merchandise.

>>216372769
and who are you quoting?

>>216372935
You

>>216372835
so how does that refute what i said? the halloween of 2000 years ago has nothing to do with the halloween of today. I know you're not actually arguing it, you're just wasting my time, so bye nigga

>>216372943
crazy how i literally didn't say any of that though isnt it

>>216373005
You're complaining about "Americanization" of your country while using the benefits of said globalisation and you're complaining about le american culture while your own French culture is literally being destroyed

>>216371418 (OP)
You're right and everyone is just mad because it reminds them their own countries are also being conquered by America.

>>216373024
french culture isnt "being destroyed" its fuck ass dead you nigger
come over here tell me one difference with italy or germany or spain except we speak a language everybody associates with africans

all i'm saying is we are americanised. Just a fact, no need to get your yank owned ass all upset for no reason

>>216373169
>everybody associates with africans
You say that as if your people weren't the ones forcing them to speak french

>>216372706
Thanks for your expectedly-retarded input, Nagy Chong

a night of spooky creeps and tasty treats?

>>216373250
>forcing them to speak french
kek read a book
You know how you force a people to speak a language? mandatory schooling, for everyone, while oppressing other languages. Didn't happen there, but it did here.
nah the africans speak french the same reason the rest speak english and the indians do too: it's convenient and useful. They didnt speak a word of it when we were still there

>>216373462
But unfortunately for them, French is mostly useless.

>>216372331
Lol

Pierres have genuinely been brainwashed that what's happening is normal

Bitching about Halloween is so stupid, especially coming from non-religious people who wouldn't give a rat's arse about fucking All Saints' Eve anyhow. Let the children have fun and go have sex with a woman in a sexy costume at a party. I saw a bunch of gorgeous Swedish backpacker girls in costumes yesterday and it was grand.

>>216373579
it wasn't useless back then. it is now

>>216372304
Yeah I always found it funny when people here in Australia complained about Halloween being a Yank Import even though we're literally a country built by Irish, Scottish, and English migrants and Halloween is literally referenced by fucking Robert Burns way back in the 1700s already

>>216373952
People are generally very retarded and they lash out to get approval from other morons. They'll say that eating macaroni cheese is 'Americanised' (it isn't), and yet I never saw anyone claim that singing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' to a baby was (it is).

doesn't happen in my town

that being said yes we're a vassal state of the muttjew empire which is a fate worse than death, at least when you got invaded by the roman empire you got roads, free running water, laws and various other benefits of an advanced culture, when you get invaded by america you get child trannies, israel worship and total slop fake food for posthumans

>>216372006
I'm visiting shitain currently (WiFi is rangebanned) and not a single kid rang this evening. I assumed it'd be more, seeing how there's actual suburbs and houses here, and you lot are otherwise very Americanized already

>>216371418 (OP)
it's just a holiday to dress up have a party or go around collecting candy
what's the point of seething about it

What does pumpkin taste like? It looks like something you would not want to eat.

Don't care. I like Halloween, I like Thanksgiving too and celebrate it. I also like hamburgers and hotdogs and McDonald's.

>>216375497
thanksgiving is best holiday
genuinely dont care bout halloween but every year i think ill make an attempt to do thanksgiving

>>216375394
I can't imagine anyone here has ever had pumpkin by itself. It's usually baked into something with cinnamon/sugar added for taste

>>216371418 (OP)
Thought it was a post made by Italy, same shit here, some neighbor kids knocked at my door, once, never did it again. Recent polls said 60% do "celebrate" it as another Carnival despite it almost replacing the actual All Saints day where people visit and greet the deads at the cemeteries.
Some parents were upset the school didn't allow their kids to dress up for the lessons...???????? Of all the problems rhe national education has.
Also just saw a shitty Poirot movie "A Haunting in Venice" where it shows an occupied Venice full of American chink and nigger kids celebrating Halloween with a parade on its streets somehow with all kind of masks and costumes and this EVEN under the Catholic nuns approval. I have no idea why did the movie went even more Netlix than Christie in here by adding black and asian orphans in a 1947 Venice.

today i stayed home instead of going to the gym to give kids treats. it was nice seeing them happy. i don't wish to be a kid again, but I wish shit was better in my life

>>216372835
>They just misunderstood old foreign customs and turned them into a celebration and the sale of merchandise
Halloween was celebrated by Americans of Ulster Scottish and Irish descent since the colonial days. Everyone in the US celebrated it as spooky time for parties and ghost stories by the mid 1800’s except for crazy Calvinist cultists

>>216375394
They’re just a kind of squash

>>216375497
>I like Thanksgiving too and celebrate it
How? I want to do it too

>>216372835
We’ve celebrated Halloween since before we were a country

>>216375394
Tastes horrible when its raw, but pumpkin pie is absolutely delicious. Its sort of like a fruit pie.

>ze children are dressing up for fun and whimsy?
>and zey are asking for children too?
>OH NON NON NON MY IT IS OVER IN MY CUNT
Do they really

>>216371418 (OP)
LMAO

>>216371418 (OP)
Comfort yourself with the knowledge that Halloween is not an American thing originally. It was imported from Ireland.

You roast a turkey, and serve it alongside mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie for dessert
t. america pro

Just wait until Carrefour starts putting out the Christmas trees in October.

>>216377752
Das right, French women are built for nafri cocks only

Irish/scottish/celt/this part of tbe world holiday/celebration mashed with a few other harvest festivals observed before the new world was even known about and then went with immigrants to the new world and the likes of australia.
Costumes/guising was to mimmick the souls of the dead and be safe, later to emulate them and make people think you were them to recieve offerings (treats instead of livestock and such) or then playing a trick on someone as a spirit would.

>>216379744
The myth of Halloween being a yank holiday is common even here. That's ironically a symptom of how Americanised we are, that we'd forget our roots from North-Western Europe.

>>216379929
It's a weird one that, being americanised to the point you paradoxically believe that a holiday of your actual roots and heritage is american imported nonsence. Saw that post doing the rounds in the normiesphere socials of an australian leaving a note out that it's an american holiday etc not australian so fuck off cunts, and people lap it up then fail to connect the dots on how australia came to be (which is funny because any other day of the year they'll bang on about australia and colonialism given half a chance) i think one fella came close and pointed it out along with it being mentioned in an old book by an australian /settler of note that pre-dates the formation of the us, or around about then. John someone I think it was?
