Lying to children
There are a number of ways that cultural pressures (deliberately, by design) induce parents to lie to their children.
The Santa Lie
Group pressure
Through the social momentum of Santa Claus (and The Easter Bunny and the Tooth fairy), parents who send their children to mainstream schools and other activities will inevitably be obligated to lie to their children in order to not spoil group harmony of all the other parents who may (or may not) want to push these falsehoods themselves.
The result
Setting aside the occult origins and implications of these traditions and rituals, when the lie is eventually exposed and the child 'outgrows' this phase, a few things happen:
- The child realises the parent lied to them, and a bond of trust is broken.
- The child wonders what other things they have been lied to about.
- The child subconsciously places other ideas or traditions related to these exposed lies, into the same category - ie also a childish fantasy to be abandoned as they mature.
The purpose
For (1), this is an ideal situation for every government, which wants the populace to be individually atomised and reliant on the state itself, rather than being insulated and independent from government influence by a trusted network of family and friends.
Just like the feminism agenda was used to put women into workplaces and have their children put into institutional education (brainwashing) at a younger age, the Santa deception also creates a wedge within the family that the government can step in and capitalise on. How many people default to the propaganda messaging of their big-brother government rather than entertaining 'independent research' of certain family and friends?
For (3), it's not hard to imagine that a young child who was taught about Santa, the Easter Bunny and Jesus Christ as interconnected parts of the same narrative, would - once two are exposed as blatant lies - discard the third as a similar fantasy. Evil genius as always.
