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.
This is what happens when you mainline internet politics and refuse to touch grass for 10 years
It's so funny that Australia prides itself on being multicultural.
Just not american-type multicultural.
This is not an import 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. Thatβs what shits me.
On the other hand it was a cool community event to witness and we donβt really see too much of anymore that imho. I just resent the aggressive way itβs inculcated on us by greedy companies to suck our value.
Why canβt they sponsor existing local cultural festivals or something?
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"
100% agree with you but tbf the US accelerated capitalism to the extreme, faster than any other country could have, so I get why people see it that way.
Its beyond absurd though. I had people get angry because I called a 'footpath' a 'sidewalk', or dared to enjoy a peanut butter and jam sandwich.
Shit tastes good man, I don't care where it's from.
Nothing wrong with peanut butter and jam, as long as you don't call it "jelly" haha
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.

Is this meme depicting a kangaroo decking a child supposed to portray the kangaroo as the one in the right?
It's a remake of the Batman meme where he's slapping Robin. That one is just as bad.
So's that kfc you chow down after netball, karen but I don't see you memeing that shit.
(And it's a celtic tradition, a large chunk of which makes up the Australian population.)
And it's a celtic tradition
Even the buying of candy, handing it out, and dressing up?

Fun fact, it was actually a Canadian import to America, and before that came from Ireland and Scotland.
Damn now I feel stupid for getting mad at nothing

Halloween has been celebrated in the UK and Ireland for hundreds of years, and the Irish brought it to America.
There has been dressing up and going door to door for hundreds of years too, and even jack o lanterns have been around for ages.
The holiday is much more a UK thing than it is an American thing, it's rather surprising actually that it's not as much a thing in Australia...

Haha bonza, old mate's dressed up as a boxing roo! Ripper costume, might wear something like it same time next year!
(Waiting until all youse weirdoes with a hate-boner for this one particular cultural tradition to chuck a wobbly when you find out that christmas, easter and new year's as defined by the gregorian calendar are also foreign imports)

Halloween is a Celtic holiday that was changed by the Catholics and brought to America via Irish immigrants, then further corrupted.
We just gotta change it to " Oi, fuckin, give us some ~~candy~~ lollies cunt or we'll fuck your house up!" instead of trick or treat.
*Lollies.
Fuck.
Shouldn't they be bumming darts not hunting candy
Nah they do that down at the shops.
Fun fact, if someone's coming on your property and stealing your bumpers from your ashtray, what you do is collect a few ashtrays worth of them, piss on them, let them dry and repeat for a week, then you put an ashtray of the fermented piss infused bumpers out and let them steal it, do this for a few days and they will stop.
Well fuck off to you too.
If you hate it that much practice what you preach and go back to England, colonizer.
I donβt care that Halloweenβs an American import, itβs still the best day of the year.
Disclaimer: I think I got lost in the wrong community; what is written below has nothing to do with Australia of course, but maybe you also have similar traditions.
I guess you never experienced full on Walpurgisnacht celebrations (incl. Waldmeisterbowle and females with scissors trying to maim males) then, or Dark Carnival.
As an American in NZ I did not expect any trick or treaters this year as we didn't have any last year. But we got a few dozen Indian kids.
Instead of "trick or treat" say "Give us some sweets ya fuckin drongo, or we'll egg your house! Gettin this outfit together was hard yakka."

Somehow I don't think travelling around in the suburbs with your kid in your SUV, going to stranger's places because Facebook told you these houses give the best goodies is how it should work.
That might be the scariest American thing I see all year.
