You might not have heard, but the mythology is being perverted anyway this year.
The red-suited white-bearded #CocaCola #SantaClaus now works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and people on the naughty list get kidnapped off the street and shipped off to other countries.
I kid you not.
I dread to imagine what it is like being a child of immigrants at Christmas in the U.S.A. this year.
I forgot that we now live in a Post-Stross Universe, where what Charlie Stross can imagine is now the upper bound on how positive the future can be.
A couple of hours after I wrote that post, I learned that *in reality* the toadies and Trumpanzees have perverted the #CocaCola #SantaClaus into something well beyond people's pessimistic imaginations.

American Coca-Cola Santa Claus is a menacing horror figure, now.
