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

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months 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@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

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

[–] SpookyCoffee@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago (9 children)

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 45 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 15 points 9 months ago

His Coca-Cola deal alone has been plenty lucrative.

[–] radiohead37@lemmy.world 37 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] cmhickman358@thelemmy.club 32 points 9 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

But the elves learn useful skills!! Lol

Don't be mad I grew up in fl

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months 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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He gets mad kickbacks from Big Toy.

[–] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 9 months ago

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

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ioughttamow@kbin.social 15 points 9 months ago

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

[–] raef@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

The Grinch is a comrade, pass it on

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months 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@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait until he finds out about Easter.

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Well, I guess he already found out

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

[–] sab@kbin.social 30 points 9 months 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.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

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

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago
[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

Mood, though

No, but neither was Jesus.

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

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Jesus is the adults version of Santa

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How is the Grinch anticapitalist?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)
[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 months ago (5 children)

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

[–] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

he succumbs to some type of heart disease

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"His heart grew three sizes that day"

Sounds like cancer to me.
