no, because i feel like it has been too ingrained in their culture by this point. they made anti-birthday video propaganda, and not anti-beard/toasting video propaganda. plus it gives them a stronger “not part of the world” mentality

I am voting yes, because I think they will have to allow birthdays based on principle. The same principle that allowed them to give the okay to toasting and saying cheers. They claimed in a recent announcement that toasting was now acceptable because modern society no longer viewed it as pagan.
