I don't really hold this against him, tbh. It might sound insufferable but also is a nice piece of trivia. Maybe because I'm autistic I tend to sympathize with people who write tone-deaf and completely pointless infodumps

This is also exactly the kind of thing every kid gets into after they find out Santa isn’t real, they go through an ex-Santa believer nu-grinch phase where they need to find facts to process their new reality.

People leaving religions go through the same process of militant atheism because they have to dispel the lingering doubt in themselves

Realizing Santa wasn't real at 4 years old was the beginning of my radicalization. After that I believed nothing without looking it up first, which of course led me to communism. Idk how all these other contrarian fucks ended up libs

I was the first one in my class to realise it was all fake and I broke so many souls that day. I went to every other kid "you think Santa is real? Guess what you dork it isn't"
