The article they share in the issue to explain why Christmas is so offensive is absolutely wild. To quote:

Imagine that between 1933-45, the Nazi regime celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday – April 20 – as a holiday. Imagine that they named the day, “Hitlerday,” and observed the day with feasting, drunkenness, gift-giving, and various pagan practices.

I don’t think an actual Jew would equate a religious symbol with a swastika

But I do agree that religious imagery should never be in public

Or equate a santa hat to a religious symbol.

I don't think Santa = swastika but it is super tiresome when Halloween ends and suddenly there's Christmas shit everywhere. I know it's more a factor of capitalism than Christianity, but it even infects the meager Hanukkah end caps we get. There's frequently products being sold that are clearly just Christmas goods painted blue and white (argh) paraded around as Hanukkah goods. Fuckin blue and white pine tree tchotchkes? C'mon what the fuck is that? Hell, one year I saw "chocolate Maccabes" which were literally just chocolate Santa candies in a different foil.

It's all expected, it happens every year (though the holiday seems to take up more of the calendar each year), but damn is it tiresome. And don't get me started on the music!

It's true that Christians have killed more people and commited more genocides, and are obsessed with putting their religion in everything... I think I'm on the side of this guy tbh

As an organisation they have historically been and continue to be, truly shitty.

But what are you using for sources here ?

About Christians in general? History books. About Christians inserting religion into everything? Gestures vaguely at the USA

Of course you are...

So, we all agree this is obvious rage-bait and just trolling? Nobody is actually believing this is true or that anyone feels like that, or even if they do that they need to be acknowledged and validated by addressing such a ridiculous claim?

Right...? Don't feed the trolls is the OG internet rule, I wish it weren't forgotten...
