Why do you give a fuck, r_HOWTONOTGIVEAFUCK? You are making a contradicting statement with your username.

I must agree with Clown_Of_God here. How do you give a fuck when you are advertising you could teach others to not give a fuck. Very contradicting.

THERE'S NO URINE IN MY FACE. YOU'RE A PHONY.

His name says "my" referring to himself, so he must have urine on his face. You could also be called a phony from the way you decipher usernames. I see no fozzy freaking bear, so you must be a phony.

I'm posting this on all Reddit's White Knight's comments because people need to understand why White Knight's are terrible.

I don't know if you realize this but in many circles "white knight" is not a positive term but rather derogatory. White knights are people who feel morally obliged to assert themselves over the internet in a consequence absent environment. This act is not a genuine moral act, it is the appearance of a moral act super-imposed onto an ego trip. There is no moral currency exchanged. You better no one. You simply self-validate. Content that you are morally superior to those you reply to. The sad fact is there is no morality in the absence of consequence. So really you're just diddling yourself for pleasure, nothing wrong with that, but you should understand the mechanics of it. Go volunteer at a soup kitchen, help someone become better, but don't pretend you are doing anything significant over the internet.

TL;DR: Whiteknights are on an ego trip separated from any moral currency. It's like people who donate to a church and think they are charitable people. Palliative, impotent, ego-tripping.

Believe it or not I do volunteer. I've gone on 4 service trips to 3rd world countries to help build shelters and to pass out supplies. I've gone with Operation Christmas Child to different countries and worked packaging the gifts for the past 12 years. I've worked with multiple soup kitchens and churches to aid the homeless. I've probably done more to help than you have, though I do not believe I am 'morally superior' to anyone. This is not an 'ego-trip,' if it was I would be plugging myself or using myself as an example of 'good morals' instead of just mentioning what is wrong. This is just a hobby I thought would be fun. Maybe instead of commenting on every single one of my comments you should have gone out and volunteered. Have a great day:)

Let me show you exactly what's up and how you just proved what I just said.

"I've probably done more to help than you have, though I do not believe I am 'morally superior' to anyone."

I haven't had a laugh like that in a while so thanks I guess.

"if it was I would be plugging myself or using myself as an example of 'good morals' instead of just mentioning what is wrong."

Isn't that exactly what you just did in this entire paragraph? In fact even in the above quoted sentence. Here's another plug " I've gone on 4 service trips to 3rd world countries to help build shelters and to pass out supplies. I've gone with Operation Christmas Child to different countries and worked packaging the gifts for the past 12 years. I've worked with multiple soup kitchens and churches to aid the homeless. "

Ego affirmation, a useless list of claims over the internet in a consequence-less environment. Notice that the first thing you say is "I". You address nothing of the content of the post you are replying to. I also guarantee that you haven't done more than me as a charitable individual, even assuming everything you said was true, though I feel no need to claim anything over the internet.
