No Holidays 2022 Challenge

Why are you still celebrating holidays? Most of us have transcended He-God cults, mindless consumerism, and nationalism. But, for the last 28 years of my life I've been roped into holidays that promote those ideas. Living in the modern reality of the virtual kills our ability to individuate, gain a clear perception of reality, and break free from social pressures.

The flood of simulacra, rituals, and whateverness surrounding holidays forces us out of our routines and into a collective sleep. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day, Halloween, and Easter suck as holidays at an axiomatic level. The amount of time wasted , stress created, and fantasies manifested during holidays wastes is outright sad. We can do better than this.

Escaping the control system requires the masses to ditch the pre-assigned backstories reinforcing that control. Reverting to pagan holidays, celebrating only the ones we like, or acting polite about holidays aren't solutions. Quitting holidays seems like a good first step.

Imagine... No more having to see family/friends you don't want to see. No holiday weight gain from bad food or stress. Spending money on things you care about. Traveling to new places instead of back home. Maintaining your creative schedule.

Let me know what you guys think! I know this is a controversial topic, but it seems like holidays create more stress than joy!
