Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

Not all, the story of Jesus Christ and ultimate sacrifice is one of altruism. In fact nearly all willing martyrs that have had a positive effect on society did so out of altruism. But your original point that something is never done for nothing, I can't refute that philosophical axiom because seemingly it speaks true, but anecdotally how many times have you offered to help someone and you really didn't want to, received nothing in return, not even that feeling of benevolence but you helped regardless?

In my experience that usually occurs under some feeling of duress. In that case relief from duress is achieved. That is rather self-motivated.
I agree with you on Jesus. But he was no ordinary man. Martyrs achieved a good feeling in dying for God. In some cases they probably even went to their deaths knowing they'd be remembered gloriously.

From my understanding Jews are no stranger to altruism when it aligns with nepotism, so long as their teachings promote one of supremacy I don't think any example can be objectively magnanimous.
The sad thing is that in the past 3 years I myself have shifted from general altruism to one of racial nepotism, more and more I find myself thinking as they do. No one can deny their success, maybe subconsciously I believe emulating the jews will produce positive results for our people. Of course it goes without saying that jews do not have a monopoly on nepotism, it seems every racial or ethnic group has coordinated delegation on their behalf, but when you start looking closer you see that the jews promote and support those delegations in one breath while condemning ethnic nepotism when whites are concerned in the next.
