Christmas is no longer a holiday that honors the Christian god, it’s a holiday that honors the god of capitalism, money.
Santa is pagan, they put that dude on cereal boxes.
The article they share in the issue to explain why Christmas is so offensive is absolutely wild. To quote:
Imagine that between 1933-45, the Nazi regime celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday – April 20 – as a holiday. Imagine that they named the day, “Hitlerday,” and observed the day with feasting, drunkenness, gift-giving, and various pagan practices.
If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.
Santa is the bringer of the New World Order
Santa isn’t red and white for no reason
I don’t think an actual Jew would equate a religious symbol with a swastika
But I do agree that religious imagery should never be in public
And spawned an even longer shit fit.
Some people just want to be offended and we should simply let them.
Jesus Christ what is wrong with people… Microsoft giving in to a clear troll, surprised they didn’t just lock and ignore that shit and move on.
Jesus Christ is not my Lord and saviour. I demand you delete this post immediately and apologise. This is as insulting to me as pineapple on a pizza
Wait, did I read that correctly and they replaced the hat with a snowflake?? Hahahaha
And yes, people often forget that generally offense is taken. When it’s intentionally given, it’s pretty clear.
I’m from Australia and snowflakes during December is hemispherist and offensive to us down under.
We can replace it with an emu.
No, that brings painful war flashbacks.
Guess loosing his project didn’t deter him from using vscode.
I guess “ghost” is just placeholder for deleted accounts
In fact, in the issue they even refer to another username that doesn’t exist anymore
TIL
It’s true that Christians have killed more people and commited more genocides, and are obsessed with putting their religion in everything… I think I’m on the side of this guy tbh
Of course you are…
Wow I didn’t expect so many religious people on Lemmy. Fuck christmas and every religious holiday. No special treatment for pale skins or anybody else. People are so indoctrinated into these rituals that they think it’s “normal”. Keep that bullshit out of my code please.
