reblog to send three ghosts after elon musk

Okay so this is in fact fake, but there have been articles that aren't satire written along the same lines. Apparently, these are attempting to defend Scrooge's original business model by saying that the long-term reduction of poverty introduced by methods like Scrooge's are worth the short-term suffering of the Victorian poor. This, as I think we can all tell by both logic and the text itself, is bullshit. Scrooge had no intention of helping others, his business produced little in and of itself, and he has extreme malice towards everyone that is not likely to produce him more money. It was also a bit of a trend in journalism from 2008-10, around the time of the financial crisis and also of A Muppets Christmas Carol being released. Altogether, this article is fake, but the comments still apply, since there are definitely people out there going "BUT!!!! SCROOGE WAS HELPFUL!!!!!!!!"

For anyone out there of the opinion that Scrooge was actually fine the whole time, Scrooge only began to distribute his wealth after he had received divine intervention in the form of multiple dead people and that is the whole fucking point. Also, go blow yourself.

imagine simping for capitalism this badly

"Scrooge said that he would see him—yes, indeed he did. He went the whole length of the expression, and said that he would see him in that extremity first." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

2,469 words so far. Newkirk has done his part as Jacob Marley, and the Heroes are gearing up to send Kinch out for his turn as the Ghost of Christmas Past. Which will probably be the most difficult part, since a) I don't know if it actually is, but it feels like the longest part of the book; b) we don't get to see Kinch have this kind of fun much (ever) in the show, so I don't as much as I'd like to draw from; and c) I've got to go into detail about Klink's childhood and young adulthood, and we don't know a whole lot about either, so I have to come up with most of that, too. Or maybe I'll use that to my advantage--the Heroes don't know much about Klink's past, either, so Kinch just makes a whole lot of generalizations and lets Klink fill in the details. (which...still means that I need to know those details so I can put them in Klink's mouth. dang it.)

I might skip ahead to Colonel Hogan's turn as the Ghost of Christmas Present and come back to Kinch as the Ghost of Christmas Past later. I'm trying my best to be as easygoing about this fic as I can, because if I get too mired in details and perfectionism, I'll never get it done.

A Hogan's Heroes Christmas Carol!AU where the Heroes take turns taking Klink through his past, present, and future one Christmas Eve to keep him from discovering that night's mission.

one of the things i love about ebenezer scrooge, and a christmas carol in general, is that, unlike most fictional rich people, scrooge doesn't allow himself the luxuries that he denies to others.

like. he is enormously wealthy, but does he spend his money on good food and nice things and indulgences? no. he keeps his house dark because it's cheaper to not light things, he eats gruel, he barely even makes a big enough fire to heat himself, let alone the room. he scrimps and pinches pennies everywhere he can - including in areas that other people would consider "necessities" rather than "luxuries."

the story of a christmas carol is as much about ebenezer scrooge coming to realize that his misanthropy and miserliness is making himself as miserable as it's making everyone around him, and learning to once again take joy in living in a way he hasn't allowed himself since he was a boy.

it's genuinely cruel to ebenezer scrooge to compare him to assholes like elon musk and jeff bezos.

for all that he is a terrible, terrible person, at least scrooge isn't a damn hypocrite.

Being as it's New York, do you think the Ghostbusters ever interrupted a Christmas Carol situation?

Like some Rich Jerk is about to get his world rocked by 3 ghosts only to pay overtime rates on Christmas for the Ghostbusters to put an end to that.
