Santa Claus: The Dark Side of a Beloved Figure
Santa Claus is a beloved figure in our culture, a symbol of joy and giving. But what if we look a little deeper? Is there something sinister lurking beneath the surface of this jolly old man?
The idea of Santa Claus as a figure of evil is not a new one. In fact, it has been around for centuries. Santa Claus has been linked to some of the most notorious criminals in history, from Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy. These men were all known for their cold-blooded, calculated murders. They were ruthless and calculating, and they had no remorse for their victims.
Santa Claus, too, can be seen as a symbol of evil. He is a figure of power and control, and he is often portrayed as a judge, deciding who is naughty and who is nice. He is also a figure of fear, as children are often warned that they will not receive presents if they are not good. This kind of power and control can be seen as a form of manipulation, and it is not far removed from the kind of manipulation used by some of the most notorious criminals in history.
Santa Claus may be a beloved figure in our culture, but it is important to remember that he is not without his dark side. He may represent the same kind of evil that was present in the minds of famous historical murderers, and it is important to be aware of this when we think of him.
Interesting article! The link between Santa Claus and some of the most notorious criminals in history is thought-provoking. I’m glad the author pointed out the manipulation factor.
