I assume here the dichotomy is between Spongebob as an earnest, happy-go-lucky creative type who recovers easily from struggles and keeps a positive attitude, and on the other side is Squidward who hates everything and everyone and is a failed creative who can’t stand Spongebob precisely because Spongebob is happy and doesn’t deserve to be happy because he’s doesn’t meet the creative standards Squidward holds leaving Squidward a sad and unmotivated creative who wallows in his criticism of himself and others rather than overcoming his inner-critique to engage in the life-sustaining creative process?

So Squidward is the Nazi, and Spongebob is the “healthy” alternative?
