This is the sort of behavior opposition would post. What on earth would possess someone to post this themselves?

You might even say slammed.

Free stuff is SOCIALISM!

Isn't this the guy who pussied out from a fight with a union boss?

People like this are what the current slate of Republicanism is breeding, I guess. Nobody asking them for anything and they bust this shit out with no reason other than just trying to be a shithead to get people to react so they can call them snowflakes.

Sun rising in the morning? Woke.

Santa Claus? Woke.

Jesus Christ? woke.

Everything is woke to modern republicans. If somebody invented a virus that made people slightly more compassionate they would hide indoors for the rest of their lives.

Hmm. Maybe somebody should get on that.

Looks like a war on Xmas right there

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

... I mean, it's a war on the commercialisation of christmas, as opposed to its religious source...

although St Nicholas, whom Santa (saint) claus is based, is a... saint.

[–] AstaKask@lemmy.cafe 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Christmas isn't Christan at all. It's all older traditions that the sick Yahweh cult inserted itself into.

I already made a boondocks / saturnalia comment a while back

[–] gointhefridge@lemmy.zip 26 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I don’t understand what he was trying to accomplish. Like simply: why? Is it cause Santa is a commie or something for being generous?

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

Well, he gives away toys out of kindless and live for childhood innocence.....

So he is at least anti-capitalism....

funny that the rest of the holiday is all capitalism.

Attention whoring

Man, the one time it was appropriate to use slammed in a headline…

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

Journalists seem like they forgot how to use a thesaurus. You don't always have to have a different headline than others, sometimes the same words are the right words.

Unfortunately, he was not actually run through an industrial shredder

[–] chellewalker@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've seen photoshop images more realistic than this. These aren't even the usual uncanny AI that creeps people out.

Oh, and it's idiotic, but that's self-evident.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

I'm wondering the same. Like was it really some standard cut and paste work and then some generative fill? It's got a certain 00s vintage look to it like it's not current interpretations of "AI" with text prompt input.

The only thing this jack off beats is his tiny dick.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 21 points 8 hours ago

Probably his wife and children, too.

And I wouldn't be too surprised if occasionally he goes out to recreationally hunt the homeless.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 14 points 8 hours ago

Is this the new "War on Christmas?"

That guy? He wasn't even born here. Off to CECOT he goes....

One shred is equivalent to three slams.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Buy buy buy!

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 7 hours ago

I can’t pick the funniest aspect here, but the sleeveless shirt and jacket deserve a mention.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 8 hours ago

It's Indiana

Sadly, there will be plenty of fucking morons who think he's great
