On the contrary, it encourages kids to be critical. When a child learns that Santa doesn't real, the child realizes that things they are told may not always be true and firmly held beliefs could be false. Things should be questioned and evidence should be investigated.
Take that as you will, christfriends, but questioning dogma is good if the dogma is detrimental and it is better to be a smart person that questions dogma than a smart person who does not.
Personally I find the anglo interpretation of Santa to be distasteful and even degenerate. The fat man has become a god of consumerism. He drives people towards expressing affection through senseless moneyspending and bastardizes a holiday that is supposed to be about family and all that shit, or at least more wholesome forms of hedonism. Further, he makes parents lie to their kids. It is a good lesson that those that you love and/or look up to can be wrong, but you should be able to trust your folks to not intentionally deceive you. It breeds contempt and distrust.
I'm not saying it's jews. But it's jews.

It's sad.
Hotwheels used to dickwave at everyone: The russian government, the "aussie" media, copyright bullies, etcetera. It was hilarious. And he used to come to /b/ and occasionally other boards to shitpost with us. Now we never see him and the website has been castrated and is falling apart. People are leaving and interesting topics are becoming fewer and further between. Even the shitposting has become lame.
