Lets goooo!
The American accent was spigot on 😂
Man, I loooove your vids, but please dear god get rid of the embedded captions, it's super distracting.
Your American accent is on point.
You forgot to mention at the end that most charities are corrupt and only 30% or less of the money you give actually helps the target people in need. Have you ever looked up the salaries of charity ceos?
I am so glad when I was homeless this BS wasn't a trend because I'd be so sad if I blew up on the internet but only made like 100 off of my lowest point being put online. I feel so bad for the people in these videos because they usually have no other choice but to participate.
I mean to be fair if I’m in that point of life I don’t care if my face is being posted
As long as they actually help me I’m ok
Unless they take full advantage of those poor people
@@user-ff1ue6lu8q giving a homeless person 100$ to go and make a fuckton more off of a youtube video isnt taking advantage of them ??
Your comment really ads perspectivrto the whole trend.
I guess it’s about perspective because if I were homeless I’d just be happy that someone gave me $100 not griping about the fact that someone else made more money off of it. That $100 could feed me for quite a while if I stretched it out. Sure it’d be nice if someone gave me more but as a homeless person I wouldn’t rather $0 over $100 just because someone else made more off of it lol.
Homeless people feel shame and if they pull themselves out of situation they will have this shame published lifelong. @@user-ff1ue6lu8q
Hi
This was the perfect response my giy
I received that disappointment
Best comment ever
Thanks you too
You mean society not humanity
A very old saying in the high-class business world: ''Charity is between me and God. Advertised charity is not charity, it is marketing.''
This saying alone explains the whole bad feeling about charity streamers.
(Btw, xQc reacting brought me here.)
This!!!
Exactly
They might look like just some cool dude exploring UA-cam for blogging, but they are shrewd businesspeople, with all the cynical marketing tools at their disposal. E.g. if they do a raffle, expect them to be cheating. If they use a comment random picker, that doesn't mean they don't add a filter list configured to their liking. The corporate crap we see plaguing the internet, they often do it all, too.
Facts!!
For those unaware, the reason why Eli Vance is in the thumbnail is because the face scan used for him was actually a homeless person.
"ehhhhhhhh" - eli vance 2004
It keeps me up at night knowing that pretty much everyone doesn’t know where the man is, hope he’s out of poverty and not getting his mind licked by an advisor
A little bit related to the video, the man on the right side in the thumbnail is actually a fairly popular and mysterious figure. He was the face actor of Eli Vance from the video game series Half Life. The creators of the game pulled ordinary people to do face acting jobs. One of these people was the person in that thumbnail. His last known appearance was about 20 years ago, around the same time the games released. Nobody knows if he's dead or alive, or if he's doing well or not. As far as most can tell, that is the only known record of his face to ever exist. Nobody knows what his name is either. He just kind of vanished after that.
That's the only reason I clicked on this video, I didn't watch a single second of it
I recognized that face too. Judging by how old he looks and the fact he was a random homeless guy, he's probably dead by now, but at least he has been immortalized in Eli.
I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
Well that's sad :(
Gordon Freeman! Let me get a look at you, man! My God, you haven't changed one iota! How do you do it?
I ran charities for many years. Feeding stray dogs in Thailand. Getting them neutered and spayed. I'm poor. Collected toys/clothes/books/etc for kids and people living in poverty.. For the first few years I never posted online but just asked people at local restaurants and bars to donate. Didn't get much. After throwing a donation party people asked me to post and share. I was reluctant. After I did we got hundreds of people donating stuff. Their time. Cars and transport. We started getting so much that we had to get people to donate space to store all the donations. I see both sides of it.
there is no connection between your story and this video.
@@j.w.213 "Charity" "Poor" "Poverty" "Donations" "I see both sides of it"
what about cats bro and other animals
@@j.w.213 bro ur dense or what
@@j.w.213 If the donation is anonymous, less people are willing to do it. If the event was publicized online, however, people will pile in bc it gives them recognition aka online brownie points. That's the connection
Not Eli Vance on the Thumbnail 💀
The best charity youtubers are the ones who give jobs and follow up with the same people to make sure they're on a good track. Giving cash or expensive supplies makes them bigger targets for theft and assault. And absurd amounts of money when you don't know someone's story means it could literally just end up going into drugs and alcohol.
All people that are houseless aren't in need of a job. Goddamn yall sound stupid rn
Not to mention, when homeless your mental health is on spiral, drugs, suicide and such are nore tempting. Money doesn't solve that issue. Community and a supportive helpful environment woild. The issues are alot bigger than people think
It has to be a community effort not individual efforts. It's still a long way to go. Like raising awareness is part of a community effort.
Yeah, I kinda consider it predatory. When I give money to someone in need, I try to make sure nobody else sees it...
good on you mate. i make sure that i try to help regarding a deeper cause, there was a homeless woman near my home, i didnt shove a camera in her face or just throw 1000 bucks at her, i helped her with some neat and clean clothes, paid for her to get a shower, a hot meal and sat down and talked in a small cafe about what happend etc, then i hooked her up with an ngo so that she has a place to sleep at night.
because of this she got an hourly job at kfc!! mainly companies dont give jobs to homless ppl since they arent clean and dont have a def place to stay but now she can work because she has a place to stay at night at a homeless shelter and she is neat and well dressed when she shows up. i rarely talk or tell pplp about this because i dont like to make myself good beacuse i did this lol, i just did it to help her period. and the best part is it barely cost me any money, it was around 80 bucks i think and this completely changed her life she calls me and thanks me every other week and gives an update!
best sunday aftertoon i ever spent, it was just a few hours of work for me but it helped someone else, this is what i deem is good charity work not just throwing money at ppl for youitube views.
Just because you do it doesn't mean everybody else has to
@@lemondrop8203yeah I think it would depend on the situation honestly
Same here.
@@lemondrop8203not everyone has to do it but it’s kinda lame if you do it for a part of attention…
I noticed a lot in these homeless charity videos that the UA-camr is mostly asking for some small amount of money and then the homeless person gives them that money and then tells them they deserve "x" amount of money. I see this as slightly wrong and unethical because if the homeless person says "no" to giving money because they don't have much and need that money, that doesn't make them a bad person. I feel like videos perpetuate that the only homeless people who deserve huge sums of money. are those who give a small amount of money to people who don't need it (aka UA-camrs).
thats one of the unethical parts.
its true that they are the people that are helping others so it most likely wont be used in a ... bad? way.
but a lot of the people saying no are trying to get money for another person! so yea. lame.
Those homeless people only exist in scripted youtube videos anyway.
@@Quintessence4444 You underestimate people's stupidity.
And it's a small amount of money to the UA-camrs and even a majority of the viewers. $1.
but to that homeless person that $1 can be the difference between eating and not for a day, so asking them while dressed perfectly nicely in a pure white tshirt with no stains or marks. Of course most people arent going to give them it, only those that could kind of do without that $1.
E L I
a "fraction" to the charity isn't what they want sadly, they will want a MUCH bigger portion of the finances if they choose to work with one of these UA-camrs. Most charities will claim that they know how to properly distribute the finances and unless they have a lot of control over it they wont be part of it. Finding a good, local charity will often help even more than the big ones.
My local homeless charity actually recommend not to give to give money to homeless people but to give to them instead since a lot but not all have drug and alcohol problems you think you are been kind but you are just fueling addictions and hastening they death
is that eli vance in the thumbnail 😭😭
as an addict if I was homeless and you gave me $1000 id probably die of an overdose within an hr of you leaving
For real. When I was an addict, I would have spent that in an hour. Enough heroin for life, bro! Which would be only a couple more hours of life lmao
I was an addict from 2007 to 2020 & would've fed that addiction if I'd been given money. Sure, food is more important, but most that have never been addicted to anything have no clue how strong that temptation is. you see so many look down on addicts or say "wow, what an idiot, just don't use any" essentially being like saying "just don't eat" to a morbidly obese person or "just be happy" to a depressed person. Doesn't work like that.
Also, if going through withdrawal at the time of receiving the money, well, you'd DEFINITELY buy more. One would do anything to stop it.
and that's why i say to never give homeless people money give them food or water but never money
unless you know them personally of course and know that they won't buy drugs
@@dexnacorn7807 This kind of thinking is backwards, stigmatic and wrong. Think like this and you're no better than those UA-camrs. Studies show that when homeless people were given a simple cash transfer of ~$5000, they "spent fewer days homeless, increased their savings and put more money toward essentials" compared with a control group. There's an assumption that you and many other people in the comment section have that says "if you're homeless, you must have done something wrong. It’s your fault. And therefore, you cannot be trusted with money." That's completely false. Scientific study tells us not to decide what these people need but to give them the agency to make their own decisions. Any other view is paternalistic and classist.
@@dread_nought i am not saying all homeless people are addicts i am saying a large nuph chunck is that it's a big risk because if say a 5 or 10 precent chance that they are an addict happens they could die of am oversose
For me the idea of charity is knowing what being in a shit position is like, why do you help your friends through difficult times. It's the same thing, it doesn't always cost money
Exactly half of the giving is the mutual understanding of being without or suffering and not forgetting it
Holy fuck, you need to feel the pain yourself before you're willing to help someone? Pretty shit dude
I spent 16 years working with the homeless, especially, those with mental illness. They are a very vulnerable population. I gave my time, food, clothing and sometimes money. I volunteered at a homeless shelter two nights a week as a screener and I served on the board of directors for two terms. Yet, funny thing is, I never thought about filming any of it.
mrbeast is eli vance from half life?!??!!
solid video jimmy. found out about you through the parkour scene years back and i like the direction you've taken your content. keep up the good work man
Appreciate it!
@@JimmyTheGiant are you planning on making a parkour video again, or did you fully switch? Enjoy the vids either way
Seconded!
What most of these people need isn't a camera shoved in their face and a couple thousand bucks. What they need is a job and help for whatever issues they have. That would actually help them get out of their situations.
Edit: careful, there's no shortage of idiots in the replies
That could not be more accurate.
The people who are being donated to are not drug addicts who would squander their money instantly
And these UA-camrs that give them chunks of money shouldn’t? How tf can the UA-camr give all these bums jobs?
Purpose!
@@lemondrop8203No one said they were?
bro, who invited eli for the thumbie
I like your message on creators joining up with charities to better tackle the issues of homelessness.
My favourite of these creators is Just Knate. He never gives out money and instead keeps backpacks (containing clothes, toiletries, a medical kit and other basics), tents and sleeping bags in his car that he gives out to people. He then asks them if there's anything specific they need (like shoes, specific clothes, propane, a phone, a night or 2 in a hotel, a shower or just food) and goes and buys it for them. He always ends with a hug or a handshake which I interpret as an attempt to make the people in the video feel loved and like a human when they're often ignored by society.
Studies show that when homeless people were given an unconditional transfer of ~$5000, they "spent fewer days homeless, increased their savings and put more money toward essentials" compared with a control group given no cash but rather belongings, food, etc. There's a horribly wrong assumption that says "if you're homeless, you must have done something wrong, and you can't be trusted with money." Scientific study tells us not to decide what these people need but to give them the agency to make their own decisions.
This is a subject that I’m surprised isn’t getting more coverage.. great work Jimbo
Yeah people only helping others if its filmed for clout
Because vanity runs the world.
What did Eli Vance do wrong? Man didnt deserve to be depicted like that in the thumbnail...
lil bud used eli in the thumbnail and didnt think we'd notice
Benefitting off someone’s misery, whether financially like these UA-camrs or through warm fuzzy feelings like the viewers, is horrible. Imagine being at the worst point in your life knowing that people are deriving pleasure from that. We should help people anonymously for no other reason than it’s the right thing to do.
Is their misery earning 100 dollars for free?
Yeah but its biologically impossible to give $1000 without it being selfish, also it doesn't really matter. Sure, its horrible, but its horrible morally but objectively what Mr beast for example is doing benefits society more than what somebody else who isn't doing horrible charity doing. I would rather get filmed and get 10k than to not get anything at all.
I'm sure the people going blind that had their life saved by this kind of thing are so upset about someone making ad revenue and sponsorships off them. Jesus christ dude, go outside
@@feluto7172 1:this is about homelesness and giving them small sums of money
2:the problem with the blind issue is that the medical system must be changed so that it is trully universal, what mrbeast did was amazing, but it did not fix the issue by any means.
Your PFP is a big oh no.@@lemondrop8203
If you'll give money to a charity instead, people have to really do their due diligence on said charity foundation because it's been found that many "charity's " will hike up the prices of the food or items they give out. And then funnel back some cash into their pockets. Charity isn't so charitable when someone benefits highly off of the misfortune of others.
Yep, it's disgusting.
Most charity, be it youtubers, NGOs , and sadly even churches at times are just using the goodwill of others to profit immensely. Oh and not oy that but unlike normal corporations, they don't pay taxes either. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that is actually against helping others. The issue is that people who are actually focused on helping others, generally don't make a spectacle of it or try to showcase it, rather they do their in silence because they are doing g it to actually help, not to make others think they're good people.
I just go with some Catholic Church sponsored charities, they've got charities where they send you personal updates on what they've done with the money including photos and give you options on what you want your donation to go towards. It can be anything from buying some clothes to installing a well in a small settlement that doesn't have access to clean drinking water. And just donating to the Church itself goes to funding schools, universities, and hospitals in addition to the Church. They're a good charity organization.
Wait till you find out, how one person is a "full time" paid manager in several charities and funnels out multiple fulltime salaries into his own pockets, this is also how "philantropic" billionairs commit tax evasion, they are not there to do actually good stuff and they kind of want problems to persist, so they have their tax evasion loopholes.
you just explained capitalism
why is eli vance's face actor in the thumbnail 💀💀💀💀💀💀
BRO ELI WHAT HAPPENED MAN, YOU SUPPOSED TO BE LEADING THE UPRISING
he dieded
theres no way that the second side of mr beast is eli vance
Homelessness is a systemic issue that needs systemic change. You can't deny the impact of giving a homeless person money, or clothes, or shelter. It's a good thing. But dramatizing the impact on one individual over emphasizes a practice that won't solve homelessness.
It's not always about coping, you do realise a lot of people are doing it because it's kind
@@lemondrop8203 Thank you for pointing that out. I was too hasty to generalize. I've revised my comment.
Wholeheartedly agreed. Considering the obscene amount of money the 1% in our society make, it should be unacceptable that anybody has to go without a home and nutritious food. Unfortunately, people at large would rather sweep the homeless under the rug (and certainly most politicians), than enact policy changes that might solve the problem. Nobody wants to address heinous income inequality, access to health care, access to higher education, the bloated and corrupt real estate market etc.
Damn. I never knew Mr. Beast was Eli Vance from the hit game “Half-Life” this whole time.
No way bro used Eli Vance for the thumbnail 💀
Not to mention all that charity crap is just a tax write off for all those people

Dayumn, he got eli vance from half life 2 on the thumbnail
Bro really added the guy from half life 2 on the thumbnail 😢
This is such a great video! You made me think of this in such a different way. Keep it up!
What makes the magic of Rahat story heartbreaking was the fact that eric lied for years
My friend 5 years ago gave a homeless guy 2000 rupees, and that guy spent it all on alcohol and was found dead the other day from choking
That's why I never give money to homeless people but donate it to charities that use it for feeding poor kids
and then those charities might be greedy and use the money for other purposes to make more money for themselves mwahaha.
@@playversetv3877that’s actually the world tho it’s fucked up
every homeless person needs help
Great video, very insightful and well researched... excellent!
As a brand new channel trying to actually grow and make a difference in this "space" really appreciate this video, gives a lot to think about as we grow. Kudos for this!
There is a saying in India :
"if you donate something with your right hand even your left hand shouldn't know about it."
the reality is these people are not doing it out of kindness they are exploiting these people for views which then translates into money for them if it was for pure kindness they would not make a video about it
So?
They get something that folks like you would drink bleach before doing without cameras.
The thing is they make videos so they can get donations to help. Of course some people take more than give which is a problem.
They are still helping people so why tf do you care so much? GIving money to the homeless is not exploiting
@@lemondrop8203exactly! These poor homeless people don’t give a shit about any of that as long as they receiving hundreds or thousands of dollars.. we should all be happy that they are getting help however it comes. No harm no foul
imagine being accused of "exploiting" homeless people after giving them $500🤓
I feel very confused on how I should feel about it because at one side they are using someone’s struggles and pain to make money and the other side is tat they are still helping the ones in need and promoting it to the little kids.
Why did bro use a picture of the guy from half-life (Eli-Vance actorl) in his thumbnail 💀💀💀
I’ve been an electrician for 15+ years and for the last 8 years or so, myself and a few friends within the trades have been working with a nonprofit company in our area that builds community centers, tiny homes, and other temporary or permanent housing for the homeless. We do this in our free time and donate our skills, tools, some materials, and have used our relationships with people in other trades to help get these projects completed when they come up. None of us have ever financially benefited from any of it or would even take financial compensation for it. We do it to help others. I have met so many amazing people, had all kinds of conversations with people from all walks of life, and the thought of one of these “influencers” trying to use one of these people as a prop in a video just angers and disgusts me. I couldn’t even imagine doing what we have done and somehow trying to make it about us and turning a spotlight onto us in the process. There’s a lot of people that need help, and being in a position to help them should be something that humans just do without needing to be compensated or recognized for it. I really hope one day people can start to realize that and make some changes but unfortunately I have very little faith that it would actually happen.
Reading this comment made me feel like you're a great man and I've never even met you. Bless you bro fr. I hope the help you give to people comes back to you also.
Yeah, had a feeling. I can never trust someone that’s too ‘good’ to be true.
i ain’t reading all that
@@dogcool3103 you should, it has some very valuable opinions and info
Just because you don't profit from it doesn't mean everybody else has to join you. If it angers you then it's your own problem and you should probably fix your view on it
you can NOT tell me that is not eli vance from half life 2 in the thumbnail.
Guys MRBEAST turn into ELI VANCE real.
no shot eli vance in the thumbnail lmaooooooo
Great video. so happy you created it, I feel so bad for the people in these videos because they usually have no other choice but to participate. And I wish they were placing this money into hands were you can track the process but that would be to much work and less praise for the UA-camrs
"have no other choice but to participate" ?
So you actually believe that they turn the camera on, and right away the first person that they see is the one that makes the video?
How naïve and innocent you are. Stay that way!
why the hell is eli in the thumbnail
Interesting channel. This is the first video I've seen and I love it. I know I will most likely binge watch it and get few tips from you.
Keep it up, I love it!
Lmao you used the face model for Eli Vance as a homeless man.
Dude actually said, "We're not doing this for the views, we're doing it to give back to the community" before checking in with all three cameras 😂
Just in case.
It's satire.
Ian Kung makes really funny short videos.
its satire roanne goddamnit
he is really funny@@Taromisaki666

The issue is that you can't save people from themselves no matter how hard you try.
yea sometimes people are just dumb (sorry i had to say that its the truth please dont kill me)
So very true
That's not the issue. It's one aspect
real af
And these creators know it! They still do it for content and money.
No way did you just used the actor of Eli Vance from Half-life 2 for the thumbnail
Throwing money at a problem often does not fix it: see government.
IS THIS A HALF-LIFE 2 REFERENCE?
damn, when did Eli Vance become a charity youtuber?
Bro remember his video where he was destroying the citedal for charity?
Great way of approaching this topic.
I always told my kids never to donate money to charity. As soon as money is involved, you fuel greed. If you want to help people, donate your time. The most valuable thing we have. But with short attention spans, donating loads of time does not convert to views.
What an absolutely idiotic take.
You know a charity video is fake if there is a camera involved.
But how else are they supposed to make money to give away?
There's a very, very, very, very, very, very small chance that it's genuine.
@@kuhpunkt that is a stupid arguement fed to you by the likes of mr beast etc, you see they make millions from videos but they give back avery very small fraction of it and they are not making content to "give back to the community" because theyre making it only for getting max views.
if they really cared they would spread awareness and fight for the deeper issues, that is, what can we do as a bare minimum to help homeless ppl? there is actually a lot, many hourly jobs are open but they cant give them to homless cause they arent clean and well dressed, hence helping them with some neat and clean clothes, a hot shower and a meal for a start is an excellent way to help a lot of ppl because with 10k u can help 10 or way more ppl but giving it away to some potentially substance addicted man down on his luck is the worst possible idea.
@@kuhpunktis it charity when you make $1000 and only spend $100 ?
I'd call that a business
@@SergyMilitaryRankingseven if its a business, theyre still helping people arent they? 🤔
Charities can be crooks, always check the percentages that they actually donate before giving any of them your money.
What does Eli from Half Life 2 have to do with this?
tbh I'm sick of "charity" videos putting "sad" background music with camera man following around all over...
IS THAT A HALF-LIFE REFERENCE ?!
its actually really funny you mentioned jimmy darts because he actually came to my local skatepark one day to use the little scooter kids for content and when my buddy got in the shot he yelled at him to get out of the shot and that he only wanted the kids.
Dr. Vance in the thumbnail is crazy

Oprah, Mr Beast to the lesser known UA-camrs, anyone who publicly exploits vulnerable people for their brand lacks humility - it’s all self serving bs.
I also really dislike UA-camrs sticking their cameras into homeless people’s faces to tell their story as though they are doing a service when in reality it’s all about promoting themselves.
I am unable to understand this paragraph , could you please explain. , sorry for interrupting you .
They are still getting money so you are just mad at a narrative created by you, not Mr beast

@@Luuuuuka It's not his actor it's his face model, who was actually homeless apparently.
The thing is you can’t expect people to spread awareness without being aware, without showing other people the situation that others are in fact in, if they don’t want to be on camera it’ll always be their choice to not be, to ask not to be filmed but still chat with whoever wants to chat. Although there may be the type that choose to stray from the crowds some want the crowds to see, the corruption and destitution of themselves and how they got there.
This is a great summary.
The thing I dislike about MrBeast is how fake he is. Everything he does, he always tries to put a feel-good spin on it.
He goes around saying that he started Beast Burger to help out restaurants struggling during the pandemic, but his manager revealed that they started working on opening the brand in 2019 before the pandemic even started. He always tries to paint himself as some saint even when he's doing a cash grab
mrbeast is actually eli vance
This video was much needed hope it reaches them who needs to see this
Why did you choose Eli Vance's facial reference for the thumbnail
You're an intelligent guy Jimmy, nice job on the video! "loved it" I'm glad you have the balls to "say what needs to be said" this must of been a difficult subject to script! but you have that delivery / mindset, that is neutral, although relevant whereby you want to talk about it as UA-camr and almost placing yourself in the firing line to other youtubers but your not really not tearing anyone down.
Well did you love it or did you "love it"?
What’s with the “”😂😂 weirdo

"Not tearing anybody down" but putting MrBeast in the thumbnail like that does NOT make him look good
Bro used Eli vance from half life 2 on thumbnail
Charity is such an interesting topic. I always had mild fascination with level of organization it takes to make something like this actually work.
People always talk about global issues with bandaid solutions in mind "Rich people have money, just make them buy food and send it to Africa" and all that. And average person can't comprehend how difficult it is to start, maintain and expand even smallest of charities.
For example i always found interesting how one of the things that help people with addiction isn't getting them "off the stuff", but rather creating infrastructure for dissease prevention and providing people with means of combating side effects of drugs and OD. Injection centers filled with compasionate staff, shelters and just human interaction with people. All to make sure that people survive whatever they are going through and get an opportunity for a better life.
Oh my god! The thumbnail! It's Eli Vance!!!
Very good, humble and honest video about the psychological effects and reasons behind modern charity and the internet

As someone who is working their way out of homelessness. I dont need your money. I dont need your pity. But if you want to help just leave me be in peace. That's the best thing you can do.

Just being honest, if I was a homeless man and someone spent the day treating me to haircuts, shopping, and food. I would gladly take it even if the person filming me profited from it more. It's literally a win/win compared to the opposite scenario. Now you might say "Well they should do that off camera" but then they would not generate money to repeat this kind act again. Imagine it like this:
Help homeless person > make money > use that money to help next homeless person
As opposed to this: Help homeless person > make no money > no funding to give next homeless person
Mr. Beast is the perfect example of this. His charity videos make so much money that he can just keep using it to help the next person. He is proof of this system working really well.
This is a good video, it's sad to see how giving back is usually interpreted now as an asset to people rather than a mindless act of caring.
Key word: interpret
Who the fuck cares if its an asset or not? What matters is someone struggling got some help, not the optics of the situation.
@@feluto7172Are you really defending these types of videos?
@@NemesisFromResidentEvil yes
WHAT DOES ELI VANCE HAVE TO DO WITH CHARITY!
is that the face model for eli vance from half life in the thumbnail???
I think this points to a bigger 'Charity' problem in general. The engine that drives the institution of charity is that they need to have more money than they are giving out, otherwise, the whole institution collapses. People who give from their hearts usually feel a sense of embarrassment when the person they have helped is thanking them publicly because they do not want to draw attention to themselves. These televised acts of kindness are usually done by horrible people for their own self-gratification.
What did Eli Vance do to be homeless!! lmao
The Combine took his home 😢😢
Bro he got a new house in the Borelias we up 🔥🗣️
Empathy is an inherent, pro-social part of mammalian mind. It’s meant to bring us together so we can be stronger and survive
Yeah, so I egoism, what's your point
The last time I heard those words was back at Black Mesa
I've been saying this for ages, I hate these fools.
Great video, subbed.
been looking for someone saying these things for a while, agree with you for sure! charities backing these kinds of things would be much more useful
edit: spelling
So would people complaining online.
Seems like you guys rather just complain, though.
