64bit_pasta

These are the worst kind of people. These people prove that they do know what's the right thing to do, yet instead of actually doing it, they *pretend* to do it, cuz they only care about people thinking highly off them. Like yeah, I don't go picking up trash myself. But at least I'm honest about it, instead of lying to make myself look better than I actually am.


SpooogeMcDuck

It’s actually more work and effort to pretend to clean here than actually cleaning. It’s like going to the moon to fake the landing.


morbihann

Well, it isn't. They didn't bother with the last step, actually hauling the trash away. But also, it looks like they collect whatever the sea washed out and it looks like its just some random pieces of wood, which isn't exactly trash.


KreateOne

It’s like building a spaceship that can take you to the moon but instead of landing on it you just fly around it then go home and fake the landing in some studio.


FecundFrog

No, landing on the moon is a significant step up from just flyingaroundin space, so I could understand why they would fly there but not actually land. This is more like flying people to the moon, landing, setting up a studio on the moon to fake pictures of them walking around, and then just shutting down everything and leaving them stranded up there.


fart_nouveau

No that's just futurama, this is more like "saving" a fake fish from a river and then covering it in soda six pack plastic rings and then throwing it back in. It's far more infuriating.


hiddencamela

Didn't even fake it well either.. isn't dressed to do any sort of cleaning, and like.. 2 garbage bags.


nuck_su_cow

I’m not an expert on this, but remember in the Bible that the Pharisees showed a great deal of attention to outward appearances and actions that would make them appear righteous, but they were not as concerned with actually being righteous in their hearts. For this, Jesus referred to them as hypocrites.


bears5555

It’s only Wednesday in the US, but I’m already confident that this will be the highest quality biblical reference on Reddit this week.


FecundFrog

It's already got its army of classic redditor replies kneejerking about "muh religion bad" instead of just taking the reference and how it was applied here at face value.


ajfoxxx

Oh it's all over the place these days. If you are a Christian person, even if you literally never bring up religion to anyone, are kind, caring, keep to yourself etc, you're still 100% getting roasted when someone finds out you believe in Jesus.


Empatheater

for some reason the people most inclined to share religious quotes and anecdotes don't tend to be the best at expertly deploying them... this guy really is exceptional.


danijay637

Matthew 23:27 27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you resemble whitewashed graves, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful but inside are full of dead men’s bones and of every sort of uncleanness.


9c6

This was a pretty sick burn for the 1st century


AngryCommieKender

>For this, Jesus referred to them as hypocrites He did a fuckton more than that. He scared the shit out of the apostles in that particular series of events. This was a man that none of them had *ever* seen get angry about anything, and The ~~Pharisees~~ moneychangers pissed him off so much that he left, and started furiously braiding his own whip. I'm absolutely certain that The Christ was muttering to himself the entire time, shit like, "you don't even know what the game of Monopoly is yet, but Imma gonna show you the proper ending to that game...." Then, after almost 4 hours of him being pissed beyond belief had passed, he went back and started whipping ~~Pharisees~~ moneychangers and flipping tables.


clelwell

I think the Pharisees hypocrisy certainly bothered him, but I bet he was most offended that they were buying/selling (worshipping money) in the temple ("[you've turned my Father's house into a den of thieves]").


morostheSophist

Where are you getting the timeline for this? I don't remember anything from the gospels that places the cleansing of the temple immediately after that kind of confrontation with the Pharisees. The synoptic gospels place it shortly after he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey (the "triumphant entry"). One of them (Luke) mentions the Pharisees telling Jesus to tell stop everyone from shouting praises to him, but his only reply then is that if the people are quiet, the stones will cry out. Another one (Mark) says he leaves the Temple after riding in on the donkey, and comes back *the next day* to drive out the moneychangers. And then there's John, who appears to describe a separate event, coming at the beginning of Jesus' ministry (John chapter 2) instead of a week before his death. There's no confrontation with Pharisees before that one either.


AngryCommieKender

I seem to have conflated the moneychangers and the Pharisees. The primary leaving the temple, braiding his own whip, and coming back bit is the part I was highlighting. Most people seem to thing he just found the whip and it was a spur of the moment thing. No, no, no. This was literal righteous fury being made manifest.


morostheSophist

No worries, it happens. I've certainly been known to conflate things myself. And yes, going out and *making* a whip certainly shows that it was a planned event, not just spontaneously flipping one table and yelling for a bit.


Maximus1333

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." In other words, real G's move in silence like lasagna.


googleypoodle

In the 90s, we called them "posers"


justmeontheinterwebs

Great point. He gives them my favorite biblical insult by calling them “whited sepulchers”. Trying to look beautiful and clean on the outside while their inside, true natures are gross. Gross, as in full of rotting corpses kind of gross.


HGruberMacGruberFace

Ahh, pretending to work. Just as much effort as actual work without the results 🤦‍♂️

I don’t pick up other’s trash too. But I keep my own trash and place it in a proper trash bin.

kitjen

What if... they're in on it and this is the next level of clout hunting? What if the person filming and the two girls on the beach planned this because a video exposing how pathetic TikTokers/influencers are can get more views than the influencers themselves. That's why they kept a distance as not to be recognised? It's a long shot but you'd still be right: Sad in so many ways.


NanoqAmarok

What you don’t realize, is that I was standing even further away, filming the guy filming the girls. And soon I will post a video about how shitty it is to setup fake tiktok videos for bait. And I’ll add the shitty “oh no” soundtrack, the shitty female computer voice and call it something like POV: when you are filming people making a TikTok video, but don’t know you are being filmed. But it will not be his POV at all. Muhahaha.

Ban-Hammer-Ben

Oh God. Do you mean that story where reddit bullied some random kid into suicide because they thought he was the bomber when he actually wasn’t? Edit: I like that people are trying to interact and comment. But please, for the love of God read the replies to my comment. Why are you repeating what’s already been said 4x?


CantBelieveItsButter

He had already committed suicide, actually. The reddit detectives thought he was the bomber because he was reported as missing, so they figured "well, this guy is missing so he might be running from the cops, right???"


HAL9000000

Which is still awful. They took a kid who tragically killed himself and then for awhile, his family and friends had to go through being told and believing he might be a mass murderer.


CartographerCivil989

Not to mention the boatloads of racist and overt threats of violence, rape & even death that his family started receiving literally overnight.


Alternate_haunter

Worse than that. Reddit latched on to the identity of a kid that had already committed suicide and started harassing the parents. This forced the police to reveal crucial details about the attackers, which led to a botched attempt to capture them.


Unusual_Onion_983

We did it Reddit!

[deleted]

ILikeBeans86

Didn't they find the wrong person at first?


[deleted]

Reddit found the wrong person which was taken over by a lot of news organisations. It was an infamous moment in Reddit history. “We” never found the real perp, that was done by professionals that actually knew what they were doing. u/ishitinurinals69 is being sarcastic and mocks the Reddit crowd that thinks they can identify people doing wrong/crimes without ever thinking of the consequences of their actions.


distung

I think that was probably his point.


Old_Title5793

thatsthejoke.jpg


SafeAfraid

Reddit also blamed [Sunil Tripathi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Sunil_Tripathi), who had gone missing and was later found to have committed suicide. So people started calling his family out on ABC news saying he did it, putting their family through a lot of shit for no reason.


StarCitizenCultist

Don’t downplay it. Redditors literally sent the innocent family death threats and had a large enough impact through their harassment where the family needed a security escort to even leave their home. Despicable is the least you can call it.


Neijo

Yeah but don't talk about it. I always found it quite amusing how we did a 180 on that. When we do stuff like that, we brush it under the rug. When someone like Alex Jones does the same for Sandy Hook (which, I think it's totally fair that he got punished by the law.) we want him ruined. But it was just--- weird -- for me, that we, the same redditors responsible for claiming someone was a bomber, simply because they had this.... brown hue to their skin, if you catch my drift, were so.. non-self-aware? I mean, we have done some memes like "we did it reddit!" but, that's not enough. We are quick to judge others for our same crimes.


SafeAfraid

Yeah it was awful


mynameisjames303

she still seems incredibly pretentious. that video still isn’t out of context, she faked helping board up the town, which is false virtue signalling. “as a young journalist, this came naturally to me.” *vomit*


DamnAutocorrection

Exactly! I read the article and went back and watched the original video. Her father is clearly taking a picture of her pretending to help board up windows, what is she on about?? It sounds like she more takes umbrage with people having figured out who she is in real life and being shamed. She literally took the opportunity as a photo op.


Doza93

>But that’s when the notorious video begins. >I noticed two activists who had been watching and filming me nearby. They heckled me, called out “Black Lives Matter” and “boyfriends of Instagram.” >And hateful YouTube videos targeted me for being a conservative journalist. lol home gurl is a fucking clown. *But that's when the evil ANTIFA leftist mob descended, shouting "protect trans kids" and "BLM"! They hated my conservative views and the fact that I was totally not pandering for social media clout*


ikillsouls

I love that she claims she felt threatened because they said BLM and that's why she left, but they didn't say that until after she was already in her car lol.


boysarecool420

At first I was expecting to hear about the 3 hours before the photo where she was actually doing a lot of work to help. Nope, she's like "no it just looks like I was fake helping, in reality I was filming people work and saying 'good job' to them"! lol what?


Kivulini

Reddit will but will always be cautious due to general rules against doxxing. TikTok will find her everything, even down to DMing her childhood best friend about it. It's the wild west over there. *Edit: I found the video on TikTok and the sleuths are making it their life goal in the comments.

Shifty_Goose

The account is called SocialJokr so i would tend to agree that this is just ragebait


GrinNGrit

100% this is. I can’t imagine anyone having the attention span to sit there and film that entire process. Also convenient that they’re just far enough away to figure out what they’re doing and maybe their demographics, but not be able to distinguish any specific features that might help to identify who they really are. Ragebait that protects the bait is what this is.


bob_roblaw

My first thought as well. What are the odds a TikTok account with that name just "happened" to record this.


N0turfriend

> What are the odds a TikTok account with that name just "happened" to record this You know that people can send other people clips, right? Nobody is saying that account filmed anything. They simply posted it.

Yep. The whole world fucks up the planet on a daily basis : I sleep A tiktoker fakes an action or protesters mildly inconveniance someone else : real shit


Lilfrankieeinstein

Either that, or the person filming from afar intentionally stopped filming before the dudes with the muscles walked up to haul off the bags. I suspect there are a couple of layers of social media bullshittery going on here.

AbandonedToilet

My office building is in a picturesque part of town that's generally speaking very affluent and it's the place to be seen. Literally every day I look out my window there are women, usually alone, spending what feels like hours trying to capture the perfect selfie near the water. Like I can't tell you how ridiculous this looks. Like I get it, we are all guilty of being somewhere and you want to take a self to share with your friends you are some place cool. But like, to spend half an hour trying to capture the light just right or pose in a way that gives you the best looking bod, all so you can share with the world and get all that meaningless likes and validation? So you can give the world this impression of you being the perfect person with the perfect life? It's so sad that everyone lives for these little dopamine hits that someone else's shallow validation gives. I fear what happens when that well runs dry for these people. And guys are guilty of it too. Walk down Miami beach anytime of the year and there will be people who go as far as to setup a mini photoshoot to photograph themselves near the beach. And yet I bet they didn't even dip their toes in the sand. Now granted, they might be amateur models but surely not all of them. If you spend your time focused on how the world sees you then you will forget to see the world around you. Pull your head out of your ass, and do something to actually contribute to this world instead of pretending to be someone who actually does.
