The elf in the swamp

This is why I believed in Santa till I was like 10. One year, my sister and I got a couple big presents, but I knew my folks were in a bad financial spot. "There's no way Mom and Dad could afford this, it must've been Santa!"

Turns out it was just more debt :(

“It’s the hope that’s important. Big part of belief, hope. Give people jam today and they’ll just sit and eat it. Jam tomorrow, now – that’ll keep them going forever.”

AND YOU MEAN THAT BECAUSE OF THIS THE POOR GET POOR THINGS AND THE RICH GET RICH THINGS?

“’s right,” said Albert. “That’s the meaning of Hogswatch.”

Death nearly wailed.

BUT I’M THE HOGFATHER! He looked embarrassed. AT THE MOMENT, I MEAN.

“Makes no difference,” said Albert, shrugging.

Yeah Santa is very classist, he believes giving to the poor will create a dependence on welfare and drug checks the poor kids before giving them even cheap things

To be fair, so does everybody else.

I love that meme format. Where is it from?

Every year, Santa gets gifts for every good child

The parents can bribe Santa to redirect a gift that would normally go to someone else to them

Santa is a die hard capitalist, just like his best friend: Supply-side Jesus!

Give the poor kids coal, they yearn for the mines

I think it's far more than that though. I think a lot of parents would agree with me that Christmas morning and birthdays are probably the most exciting time of the year.

Debt is debt. It is nothing compared to the joy your child gets. That joy you see in your kid is worth more than most could ever earn anyway.

And I've seen the poorest families happily dip into that debt. They know it doesn't make things easier.

That's why we need a robot Santa.

Also he's a known antisemite.

Everyone knows that Santa Hates Poor Kids (warning: explicit lyrics)!:-P

This cut harsh with me

Is this Brass Eye?
