Very interesting.
As I love the roots of words, lets look at

Christ

https://www.etymonline.com/word/Christ#etymonline_v_11332
This leads to the root:

*ghrei-

ghrēi-, Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to rub."
It forms all or part of: chrism; Christ; christen; Christian; Christmas; cream; grime; grisly; Kriss Kringle.
It is the hypothetical source of/evidence for its existence is provided by: Greek khriein "to anoint, besmear;" Lithuanian grieju, grieti "to skim the cream off;" Old English grima "mask, helmet, ghost," Middle Low German greme "dirt."
Now let's look at

Krishna

https://www.etymonline.com/word/Krishna#etymonline_v_1947
eighth avatar of Vishnu, 1793, from Sanskrit krshnah, literally "the Black One," from PIE *kers-no-, suffixed form of root *kers- "dark, dirty" (source also of Old Church Slavonic crunu, Russian coron, Serbo-Croatian crn, Czech cerny, Old Prussian kirsnan "black," Lithuanian keršas "black and white, variegated").
On this day, December 25th the Sun rises after 3 days of laying low in the northern hemisphere. December 21 starts the winter solstice. This is the Sun's birthday celebrated for 50,000 years in various myths.
Horis the Egyptian god of the sun who we get the word hour from daily is killed by his brother Set (Sunset). This is a balance between night and day, darkness and light.
Think about the light of the day. Everything on Earth is illuminated but do we really see everything or do we just see the obvious? At night we see the solar system, the galaxy, the planets, the moon, and the Universe. We see more. But we don't see so well in our immediate surroundings.
Black Santa and White Santa are Yin and Yang. Masculine and feminine energy. Left and Right hemisphere of the brain.
As a parent you teach your child to listen for the intuition that leads to virtue. This is the written law and unwritten law. Unwritten law is virtue.
The darkness is a balance to the light. Light is a balance to the darkness. It is not Bad and Good!
What this is is accepting responsibility verses manipulation by another. Regardless of the manipulation once you see it you are no long irresponsible.

Your point about yin and yang reminds me of something. In Chinese culture, 8 is an auspicious number because it sounds like “prosper” in Chinese. However, for Germans, it’s a number that they dread because 8 is the eighth letter of the alphabet, which corresponds to an infamous war leader

I've learned about "green language" that's where a meaning is abstracted from the word symbol.
Like: "The War on Terror" sounds like the "War on Terra (Earth, the truth, Torah, Dhamma, GreenTera...)
Or
"The War on Drugs" means "The War (while being) on drugs."
There are Sorcerers who employ green language to manipulate others into doing things that essentially put the karma (proof of work) onto the doer. This action by bad actors leads to the actors thinking, "I'm just doing what I have permission to do."
Mind control. Govern + ment. Kubernetics of Mind.
Why being a swami (self master) is so important and why Swastikam (Is the love of SELF and Action together) .
