To let you know, the reason why we don’t go crazy for Black Friday, is thanks to one of the very reasons that was highlighted by you. There is violence that is associated with Black Friday. When Black Friday happened I think in the UK for the first or second time, there was huge amounts of people building up outside stores and people acting what we considered to be savage. As a result, stores did not want to be associated with such behaviour so we quickly pulled back Black Friday events and now we just consider it to be a small thing that happens across the country rather than anything that gets massive attention so we can avoid this kind of American style consumerism from happening. We don’t like wearing it. Other countries have done the same thing or been even more strict about it. We just find that the negatives most the time outweigh the positives so it’s good to just do it as a cheaper time to buy things and nothing more.
BTW, yes, the whole flag-waving thing really is an American obsession. This whole level done with the Pledge of allegiance is associated more in the rest of the world with brainwashing and indoctrination of obsessive ideology, Rather than anything actually patriotic or democratic. We don’t do it in other countries because literally all the other countries that do it are in our minds and even in the US‘s minds, the bad guys. The other ones that have this kind of pressure on them are Russia, China and North Korea. Plus the hall under God thing is used way too much, probably as a form of ideology to make it harder for people to argue against it. That’s why it is so disconcerting and it really does need to stop in schools.
