Christmas, the celebration of the birth of the messiah or in a secular sense a day to celebrate our common humanity, selflessness and goodwill to all being celebrated like this is just depressing. Imagine taking a holiday like that and twisting it like this. Just…fuck man. General Sherman better be the Horseman of War because this shit is ridiculous.
Except even then he was, but he wasn’t. Pontius Pilate didn’t really see the point in executing him, but the Jewish religious elite wanted him dead whereas the Jewish people seemed to like him. So not all that different from politicking today: one faction is indifferent, one faction is threatened and the people writ large like something that neither faction wants at the end of the day. 2,000 years and not much has changed.
