Runs sweatshops but claims they're not sweatshops because it's too cold to sweat at the North Pole. Operates a factory in a remote location with no labor laws. Disporportionately gives presents to rich kids. Outside of presents his chief export is fossil fuel. Pretty sure Mrs. Claus was at the Capitol on January 6 (disputed).
Enemy. :gulag:
His elves don’t control the workplace
His work is not as grueling as the elves, yet he receives all the compensation in the form of cookies, milk, and cultural importance
Hi, this is capitalist propaganda, please stop spreading it.
His elves don’t control the workplace
His work is not as grueling as the elves, yet he receives all the compensation in the form of cookies, milk, and cultural importance
He only sees “good” and “bad,” doesn’t account for the reasons
Asked Jesus to share the spotlight, got condemned to eternal labor
you have no evidence of any of these. He's a saint, so he id directly working for Jesus. He can magically see everyone, so I think he does take motivation into account and you are blowing your own biases into this. And we have no evidence that the elves are kept in poor conditions or that he doesn't work with them. You just assumed that because of capitalist realism.
Santa is the enemy
-Pushes other holidays out by advancing Christmas' presence earlier and earlier in an attempt to create a Christmas monopoly
-Violates your privacy by "seeing you when you're sleeping" and "knowing when you're awake"
-Sees morality as binary by putting everyone on a "naughty" or "nice list
-Supports the polluting coal industry but does not support coal workers
-Factory is built in the Arctic, a region particularly vulnerable to climate change
-Does not publicly disclose the labor contracts between him and the elves, reindeer and other workers and thus we can only assume the worst.
-Tokenizes and exploits minorities who are "useful" but otherwise are complicit in bigotry (see case "Rudolph")
-Demands non-vegan treats such as milk and cookies
-Sees morality as binary by putting everyone on a “naughty” or "nice list
Hexbear does this too tbf
AFAIK he only visits homeowners wealthy enough to have an operational chimney.
Like all things, Santa has been co-opted and warped by capitalism. We must release Santa from his chains and establish a new paradigm.
New Santa will literally just be Karl Marx. If you’re good, he gives you a copy of Capital. If you’re bad, he gives you the unabridged version.
:stirner-cool: as Krampus. If you're bad he comes to your house and disagrees with you.
and drinks your milk. You have to get him and all his elves to agree to a fair price to buy new milk from him or he won't leave.
Santa is a paternalistic monarchist, he probably thinks the German Empire with its social welfare state was the historical apogee.
And he definitely would have armed the Finns in the Winter War.
Saint Nicholas, on the other hand, is based.
Lots of assumptions about the elves working conditions in this post. This isn't the 90's, dudes. Their union is really fucking strong.
St. Nicholas fucking hates Arianism, he slapped the shit out of Arius for shit talking the trinity
