I fucking LOVE believing in mystical things we all agree aren't real. I LOVE sharing a cultural idea with many different people around the planet. Most of all, I fucking LOVE implanting the idea that you can't blindly trust authority figures in children when they figure it out. I love you Santa.
wait wdym 'not real'
Was literally saying this yesterday.
At what point did the entire human race collectively agree. We make up a fictional characters that has elves and shit and can space travel with magic reindeer.
It's not just western world. Other parts just agree to go along with our madness
At what point did the entire human race collectively agree.
My guy, have you heard about religion?
Collective delusion in humans and teaching it to our children goes way back.
Religion is a different kettle of fish. It's pretty loose. Interpretation is a massive part. Why you've hundreds of different sects of Christianity. Loads of different ways to pray to worship and even what to do in terms of Christmas holidays and birthdays.
Christmas with Santa is similar with varying degrees. But it's still got some characteristics throughout. Plus it's only been what 50/ 60 years. It's come up fast and lasted.
The agreement was made on December 25, 1902 and codified in the Yellowknife Accords. Signatory nations passed laws requiring local compliance in the subsequent decade, often with significant jail time for those who violated the psyop.
Many scholars believe the Yellowknife Accords were a template for the subsequent 1932 Zurich Pact (which implemented the Easter Bunny) and 1968 Johannesburg Protocol (defining the Tooth Fairy, although original drafts referred to the Mouth Monkey).
Am I the only one in here who treats Christmas like a cultural tradition? Obviously none of that reindeer and Santa crap is real but it’s a fun tradition that breathes life into my year nonetheless
I thought the title said satan for a second, lol.
Hail Santa!
It doesn't... Psy Op
