Describes the situation in which one is about to throw some shit away then imagines a kid in Africa in a predicament of exaggerated poverty: dirt huts and all, causing said person to think twice about throwing that shit away.
Guy 1 stares at his somewhat empty plate of food. He’s full. The amount of food that’s left isn’t really enough to justify saving it for later, but it’s still enough for one to consider continue finishing it.
Guy 1 just decides to get up from the dinner table and throw it away. As he walks over to the trash can and opens it, he pauses. Guy 2 notices.
Guy 2: “You good?”
Guy 1: “Just.. feeling that first world guilt”
Guy 2: “Dude you’re a bitch.”

"Dude, after I called my buddy a virgin, I got hit with a huge wave of Jester's Guilt."
"I feel bad for making fun of that kid for being a nerd. Total Jester's Guilt."

white guilt
I think there's a little bit of white guilt involved in anything we do even as the audience watching like why am I enjoying watching suffering, backstabbing, lying & strategy so much?
