Trying to sort out what's a hoax, what's an op, and what's a grift can be a fool's errand, especially given that you can kinda drift from one to the other based on how much traction you're getting.

I was listening to the TrueAnon episode "A People's History of SantaCon", which took a long and confusing walk from the Birth of Jesus Christ, through the Progressive Era labor movement, past subsequent class conflicts and derivative left-wing protest campaigns, into and out of and into Burning Man, and then into a naked money laundering scheme predicated on buying tickets to what was originally an annualized theater school stunt.

What is SantaCon? A generational grift? A populist avante garde reaction to crass consumerism? Cover for criminal activity? For espionage? A consequence of crass consumerism gone off the rails? A stupid meme? A "mind virus"? All of the above? Idk.

World's a crazy place, though. That much is clear. You've got Santas getting hand jobs in the local drug store and nobody can explain how it happened.
