It’s so funny that Australia prides itself on being multicultural.
Just not american-type multicultural.

This is not an important by the vibrant American expat community though right? This is being pushed by huge chains to sell plastic and sugar, and they push it to kids. That’s what shits me.
On the other hand it was a cool community event to witness and we don’t really see too much of anymore imho. I just resent the aggressive way it’s inculcated on us by greedy companies to suck our value.

Yet, Christmas gets a pass lol.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I’m on board, just that a lot of it comes from “fuck america”, not “fuck capitalism”

It’s cultural holiday shared by any group that traces its descent from the UK and Ireland. Everything else is just what traditions you think are cool, and kids love candy and costumes.

The trick or treaters in our area were so cautious not to be a nuisance - had a skeleton in the front garden bed but many walked by unsure because we didn’t have a sign specifically inviting them to knock for lollies. Those that did were very polite and thankful.
Least of our worries when it comes to malign US influence. What really needs a smack in the mouth is our Google/Apple/etc. dependency.
