Santa Claus is rarely, if ever, mired in controversy. It makes one think if we’ll see controversial stories come out after all these years. However, we all simply consent to this man we’ve never met sliding down our chimneys every year.
Santa was born some undisclosed time ago to a hodgepodge orgy of global folklore. As St. Nick grew older, he was dedicated to helping the poor, anonymously paying for the dowries of impoverished girls, which sounds like a modern-day Onlyfans membership but stick with us here. Santa is an equitable king, giving to those who are sometimes less fortunate, and propagating a more generous society. He is probably a net positive, regardless of him stealing the shtick of the three wise men, who were people of color, but we digress. In a culture stuck in profit-motive, incentive-based brain rot, it’s actually impressive when some pieces of culture still exist, especially those focused on giving. So, how has Santa traversed time so magically?
Perhaps capital owners do need their mascot that rakes in billions every year but truthfully, we don’t have an answer to any of these questions. A whole society simply decided an immortal, jolly, white guy gets dragged around by 30 reindeer on a sleigh once a year on Jesus Christ’s birthday. Conversely, we somehow can’t agree on anything that makes a material difference in our lives but for at least once a year, we set aside our differences and hopefully find some semblance of unity. The happiest of holiday wishes and peace to you, from everyone at Bulletproof Soul.
