U mean Santa? The guy who give shit tone of stuff for free… is pro capitalism?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You see how many advertising campaigns he gets involved in? Man is a corporate whore to the bone!

His Coca-Cola deal alone has been plenty lucrative.

Santa does not like poor families. If you’re rich, you’re a good kid in Santa’s eyes.

There's an entire Your Favorite Martian song that talks just about this, it came out all the way back in 2011. I have to be honest, I'm not a massive fan of their music style from back then.

He is one of the biggest utilizes of slave labor in the world, not to mention a European colonizer.

But the elves learn useful skills!! Lol

Don't be mad I grew up in fl

That's a myth. Santa is actually an immortal vampire who, through ancient treachery, is contractually obligated to serve the communist elf collective of the north pole.

Yes but Santa is very classist, how else do you explain how rich kids get rich presents and poor get poor presents

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Santa: "Ho ho ho! Those POORS should know their place! MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Or no presents. I wasn't in that boat, but I know that some are.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I hate to be the one to tellyou this but "Santa" is really just your parents buying toys.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He gets mad kickbacks from Big Toy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

yeah, you know what they say: first one's free

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

The toys aren’t truly free. The cost is the elven labor he steals by the sledful

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was thinking it would make more sense to change the x-axis to "materialism"

The Grinch is a comrade, pass it on

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Um Jesus didn't know what Christmas was, as it didn't exist, but would almost certainly be against it and its concept ..

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait until he finds out about Easter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well, I guess he already found out

I never thought there would be a graph where Jesus and I aligned

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

By all accounts he was a pretty chill dude. Hanging out with prostitutes and turning water to wine, feeding the poor and flipping tables at the marketplace.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Unless he was hungry, in which case he'd angrily scream at trees.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The fig tree is a metaphor for people who aren't bringing good into the world but just taking up space.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But the tree was out of season. So it's a terrible metaphor.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Fuck. The Protestants were right. Jesus wants us working all the time, even when we shouldn't be.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Mood, though

based working girl whisperer

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

No, but neither was Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Except it wasn't a marketplace which makes it even better

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Jesus himself seems like he had the right ideas, it’s Christians that are the problem.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Jesus is the adults version of Santa

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is the Grinch anticapitalist?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

In the end, doesn't he succumb to the shallow and empty promises of their capitalist society, though?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

he succumbs to some type of heart disease

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

He does, The Grinch is a tragedy for the ages

Grinch is anti-cheerfulness, not anticapitalist.
