I look at it this way, the dumbing down of America has been happening for a long fucking time and one of the ways that has happened is by stripping meaning from the meaningful and replacing it with vapid consumer bullshit. The fall of society is precisely because of holidays like this and the mechanisms which support them.

This isn’t a hill to die on, it’s a symptom of a larger ill.
