It's legit. I get depression and chest pain every Valentine's Day.

I gave up on holidays when they started celebrating them when most convenient for capitalism. If you can’t celebrate Saint Paddy’s on a Tuesday go fuck yourselves, you don’t get a Saint Paddy’s.

They are all dumb made up holidays to make you spend money you don’t have to buy shit you don’t need for people you hate in the name of equally dumb and made up traditions that people keep following because they are sheep and don’t question anything. It was never about family or love or whatever argument the rich use these days to convince you to give them your hard earned money so they can buy the 10th yacht of the week.

Yeah but that's also why nobody likes you so you've got to decide if this is really a hill worth dying on. Ya Scrooge

No, I just don't like holidays that are being abused by companies to make a buck. That goes for Christmas as well.

The Summer Holidays don't have that issue.

Easy as is.

Also, Valentine's Day is not even a holiday, idiot 😂

What holiday isn't abused by capitalism?
