[edit] Symptoms of Humanitarianism

  • Claiming to act purely to help others, despite being purely for their own benefit.
  • Selfless, until they realize no one around is regretful
  • Value vigilantism, until they're the ones being vigilante'd
  • Value freedom of speech, until their privacy is broken
  • Value open source, until their system breaks
  • Value socialism, until they are broke from paying for niggers' health care.
  • Value morality, until the world finds out about their own mistakes.
  • Value the opinion of others, unless it's critique, then you are hater.
  • Believe in the power of the people, until they realize they can't dictate what happens, X is not your personal army.
  • Starting an internets genocide against all trolls. It is important to note that TROLLS ALWAYS WIN.
