The leader of a neo-Nazi extremist group based in eastern Europe has been charged with plotting to have an associate dress up as Santa Claus and hand out poisoned candy to Jewish children in New York City to sow terror, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Chkhikvishvili, who has various nicknames including Commander Butcher, allegedly leads the Maniac Murder Cult, which prosecutors said is an international extremist group that adheres to a “neo-Nazi accelerationist ideology and promotes violence and violent acts against racial minorities, the Jewish community and other groups it deems ‘undesirables.’ "

Growing up is finding out that santa isn't real, but "commander butcher" - the accelerationist neo-nazi 'maniac murder cult' leader who dresses up like Santa to poison Jewish children is.

Why Santa? Chanukah has no Santa. This cult leader clearly has no idea what he's doing.

Well, how much sanity and competence were you really expecting from the leader of a neo-nazi murder cult?

There are good Santa's on both sides...

Conservatism is a plague of death.

As long as we keep pretending conservatism is a valid political ideology, nobody is going to be safe

I really wish we could, as a society, treat conservatism the way conservatives treat socialism
