Covid would have decimated them while the Grinch wouldn't have even noticed. Bet the Grinch also has a zero carbon footprint.

The amount of gadgets and other miscellaneous items he has tells me otherwise. Also, how is he powering all of that? I don't see any solar panels or wind turbines close to his cave on the top of that mountain. E: Pretty sure powering it all with dog power leaves a bigger carbon footprint than a generator.

Carbon footprints require fossil fuels. Burning wood is carbon neutral and if he and the dog are hunting or gathering, they'd be doing in a sustainable way just by happenstance.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I believe they were thinking consumerism and capitalism are synonymous.

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

21

Uhhmmm, Christmas is Jesus birth. Im pretty sure he knew He was born.

What capitalism has twisted it into now would most certainly not be what Christ wanted and probably would have said the similar things He said to the pharisees.

Christ is born! Glorify Him!

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.

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

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

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

cardiomegaly leading to diastolic heart failure more than likely

Am I reading this right? Aceofsquiddles is much more pro-Christmas than Jesus and a little bit less capitalist?

1

Didn't someone point out that Grinch wasn't anti-Christmas, just anti-people?

I'm with Jesus. St Nicholas of Myra sent gifts down a chimney; not some coca cola drinking, milk and cookie chugging, overweight demon that obsesses on children and uses slave labor.
