For anyone who hasn’t seen it, give David sedaris’ “6-8 black men a listen.”
Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains.

There is no way he’s a good guy.

The elves should unionize. Let’s see that fat-ass Santa make a few billion gifts on his own.

Dumbledore is Santa Claus?

Both are old, bearded, and project a friendly, wise-grandfather image.
Both lead a closed community with strict hierarchies.
Both have elf slave labor.
Both run surveillance operations: Dumbledore has the portraits, Fawkes, the Marauder’s Map (by proxy), and Santa has the Naughty-or-Nice list.
Both maintain a mystique that disguises how much control they actually wield.
However, I still think Santa is more likely to be evil.
