The Grinch is a comrade, pass it on

ChiefSinner,

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.

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

Hiro8811,

Jesus is the adults version of Santa

Crashumbc,

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

ChiefSinner,

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!

Landmammals,

Wait until he finds out about Easter.

Landmammals,

Well, I guess he already found out

mayotte2048,

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

DreamAccountant,

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

Yup. Disgraceful

VubDapple,

How is the Grinch anticapitalist?

VubDapple,

Grinch is anti-cheerfulness, not anticapitalist.

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

PugJesus,

He does, The Grinch is a tragedy for the ages

burgersc12,

They all realize that christmas means a little bit more. Did you even watch the movie??

“His heart grew three sizes that day”

Sounds like cancer to me.

Jesse,

cardiomegaly leading to diastolic heart failure more than likely

SpookyCoffee,

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

Wodge,
@Wodge@lemmy.world avatar

He gets mad kickbacks from Big Toy.

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

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.

Kusimulkku,

Unlike Jesus ofc

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

PugJesus,

Remotedeck,

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

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

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

AngryCommieKender,

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

radiohead37,

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

@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Ioughttamow,

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

cmhickman358,

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

Saint Nick is from Asia though

yardy_sardley,

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,

But the elves learn useful skills!! Lol

Don’t be mad I grew up in fl

raef,

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

scbasteve7,

I believe they were thinking consumerism and capitalism are synonymous.

marretics,

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

phoneymouse,

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

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.

IWantToFuckSpez,

He also liked feet.

TheLowestStone,

No, but neither was Jesus.

ivanafterall,

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

PugJesus,

Mood, though

AlfredEinstein,

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

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

Oh shit

ivanafterall,

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

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

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

Cicraft,

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

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

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

burgersc12,

He should move further away. The grinch was not their neighbor, he was literally living off their trash! Damn freeloader, living off the hard work of the Who’s /s

Duamerthrax,

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

Piemanding, (edited )

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.

Duamerthrax,

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.

ColonelSanders,

And all of his gadgets and such are recycled from the garbage.

Duamerthrax,

Truly the role model we need for the 21st century.
