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.

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

He gets mad kickbacks from Big Toy.

[–] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago

All four characters are fictional, what's your point?

[–] Ioughttamow@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

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"

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I believe they were thinking consumerism and capitalism are synonymous.
