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

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Duamerthrax 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

His Coca-Cola deal alone has been plenty lucrative.

[–] radiohead37 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] RagingRobot 10 points 1 year ago

But the elves learn useful skills!! Lol

Don't be mad I grew up in fl

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] AngryCommieKender 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Wodge 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He gets mad kickbacks from Big Toy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TheLowestStone 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

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

The Grinch is a comrade, pass it on

[–] Crashumbc 21 points 1 year 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 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait until he finds out about Easter.

[–] Landmammals 6 points 1 year ago

Well, I guess he already found out

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] AlfredEinstein 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Mood, though

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

[–] Hiro8811 10 points 1 year ago

Jesus is the adults version of Santa

[–] VubDapple 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is the Grinch anticapitalist?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

[–] veganpizza69 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he succumbs to some type of heart disease

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"His heart grew three sizes that day"

Sounds like cancer to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

cardiomegaly leading to diastolic heart failure more than likely

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He does, The Grinch is a tragedy for the ages
