          Santa has an ethnicly homogenous slave workforce trapped in a secret location facing sub-zero work conditions and runs a global child surveillance system supporting an opaque punishment algorithm.

          There is no way he’s a good guy.

              Both are old, bearded, and project a friendly, wise-grandfather image.

              Both lead a closed community with strict hierarchies.

              Both have elf slave labor.

              Both run surveillance operations: Dumbledore has the portraits, Fawkes, the Marauder’s Map (by proxy), and Santa has the Naughty-or-Nice list.

              Both maintain a mystique that disguises how much control they actually wield.

              However, I still think Santa is more likely to be evil.

            The elves should unionize. Let’s see that fat-ass Santa make a few billion gifts on his own.
