Harmony day is aimed for by oppression of liberties in China, and is therefore impossible to achieve in a democratic country.
The problem with the harmonious society is not just the disconnect between the rhetoric and the reality. The truth is, while superficially sweet-sounding, the idea is illusory and utopian. We may all wish in the abstract that everyone got along, but the reality is that free societies by their nature are cacophonous, argumentative and full of dissent.
"If it is decided that we must restrict speech or avoid discussing certain subjects to keep the peace over an apparently combustible population, might now not be the time to ask whether this type of harmony is worth celebrating?"

Get the harmony daymug. The walls are made of styrofoam. We had a kid join the school with an ankle monitor and got kicked out the same day. Too overworked you'll start taking shots of espresso in the middle of class. There's 3 white people in all of highschool. We used to eat the poisonous berries off the trees. Half of the school closes occasionally. The great mold outbreak of 2018. Water leaks are common, what are electives? never heard of them. Our staff members either never care about us, are crazy, and the times they are actually good staff, they probably end up leaving. Teachers throw their wallets at us telling us to "TAKE EVERYTHING ALREADY" and throw away our papers because we made them too mad. Rats are common cockroaches are our best friends and moldy food at least better than the frozen pizza we could use as frisbees. We've had student reports of the teacher starting with "The numbers are dwindling". Everyone's either Mexican or Middle Eastern and you'll never see a white kid unless you look for them. The lack of money is so big we're still working with the budget from bake sales from 3 years ago not wanting to waste a penny. Lastly, students are clueless about everything.

Get the armonía/Harmonymug. When a song is playing or person is singing a song and another attempts to harmonise to sections of this music causing either good or bad harmonies.
Someone will then proceed to use there sniper hand to shoot them yelling 'Harmony Sniper'
