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.

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

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz -1 points 2 years ago

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

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

I believe they were thinking consumerism and capitalism are synonymous.
