Wouldn't the loss of interest in Halloween be a positive thing? Halloween is a Catholic holiday and every aspect of Halloween today and in the past comes from Catholics. The dressing up, "trick or treat" and giving out food on 10/31, to the pumpkins/jack-o-lanterns are practices within Catholicism that European Catholics imported to the US. The suggestion that Halloween involves paganism, druid witchcraft, satanism or the devil comes from US Protestants trying to make Catholic immigrants look bad. I find it weird that anarchists engage in these Catholic rituals and actively encourage it without a second thought. It's bizarre and doesn't make a lick of sense to me. The only issue people on here have with Halloween, that I can decipher, is the consumerism aspect of it. I wonder if they'll be a Passover and Ramadan totw on this site in April.

The Ever Green boat that got stuck in the canal happened this year so if you partake in Halloween, you still have time to dress up like a boat wedged in a canal. Though one can have parties and engage in cosplay, the furrydom, or just wearing something you normally wouldn't. I guess society and Christian rituals have a significant influence on people for when it's acceptable to wear a costume, knock on people doors, and/or have a costume party?

Cosplay and/or the Furrydom always seemed like peak consumerism run amok to me.
