Just gonna come out and say it: the Who's of Whoville are shitty neighbors.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

4 fictional characters celebrating a stolen holiday after substituting new fictional events.

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. Disgraceful

[–] SpookyCoffee@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (9 children)

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 42 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

His Coca-Cola deal alone has been plenty lucrative.

[–] radiohead37@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] cmhickman358@thelemmy.club 28 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

But the elves learn useful skills!! Lol

Don't be mad I grew up in fl

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He gets mad kickbacks from Big Toy.

[–] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Ioughttamow@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] raef@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I believe they were thinking consumerism and capitalism are synonymous.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 31 points 2 years ago

The Grinch is a comrade, pass it on

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years 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 ..

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait until he finds out about Easter.

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Well, I guess he already found out

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

[–] sab@kbin.social 25 points 2 years 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.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago
[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Mood, though

[–] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

based working girl whisperer

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

No, but neither was Jesus.

[–] Cicraft@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Jesus is the adults version of Santa

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How is the Grinch anticapitalist?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he succumbs to some type of heart disease

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"His heart grew three sizes that day"

Sounds like cancer to me.

[–] Jesse@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

cardiomegaly leading to diastolic heart failure more than likely

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

He does, The Grinch is a tragedy for the ages

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Grinch is anti-cheerfulness, not anticapitalist.

[–] mayotte2048@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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