It feels good to do good, so people find numerous ways to help others and spread kindness. Some, though, turn to somewhat unconventional ways to accomplish their good deeds, which results in what can only be called ‘Chaotic Good’.
Unsurprisingly, there’s an entire community dedicated to such instances, which has amassed over 200k members already. We have found some of the best examples of how wholesome they can be, shared by the ‘Chaotic Good’ subreddit, so scroll down to find them on the list below and make sure to upvote your favorites.

Created 15 years ago, the subreddit is dedicated to examples of chaotic good actions, which have attracted over 217k members already. The instances cover everything from fighting hate groups in the most inventive ways possible to supporting others through tough times, reviving people’s faith in humanity one post at a time.
Such somewhat altruistic behavior encourages people to believe in the kindness of others; and the majority of them do. A survey of adults in the US revealed that as many as 83% of them believe that humans are inherently good. Another one reported that the number was as high as 81%, adding that nearly half of the surveyed, though, consider themselves “better” than everyone else they know.

A Very Effective Method Indeed
There is also a company out there that is working on '3D printing' rhino horns. They are made out of the same stuff, but ridiculously cheap. The idea is to flood the market with fakes that are completely indistinguishable from natural ones that are extremely low cost. It would tank the prices and make poaching no longer profitable. Because no amount of deterrents will stop someone, but if there is no money in it the business will stop.
Some of the actions in the pictures shared by ‘Chaotic Good’ could be considered expressions of altruism, the level of which, according to some scholars, might vary depending on the individual’s brain.
Research suggests that people who express strong altruistic behavior have a more active—and sometimes even larger—right amygdala, which is responsible for the way we feel and perceive emotions in others; fear especially. That’s why it’s arguably safe to assume that the level of altruism is tied to people’s neurologically driven ability to perceive and empathize with others’ fears and vulnerabilities.
I Would Do The Same, Tbh
My mate and I stole a kitten from a party once because the dude was going to feed it to his snake as some sort of messed up live entertainment. Boots the cat got a new elderly lady owner who spoils him and owns no snakes not has crazy parties, though I hear she holds a wild Bridge night.
I bet Boots wins all the books.

I would have done the same and not felt one ounce of remorse.
Same here. I hate anyone who thinks they can hurt animals.
Load More Replies...We had two gigantic security guys come in once with a puppy that sadly had to be put down as he was too small for the major corrective surgery after he was abused. (Pup's jaw was practically pulverized) It was surreal. Two gorillas the size of a house cradling this tinie tiny puppy. They reassured us that they have already worked out who the perpetrator was and have upgraded their workout routine. Sadly this was at a time when we still didn't have much in ways of anti animal cruelty legislation so this was pretty much the only way things could be handled. I ran into the guys some time later, they just gave me a thumbs up and a grin. I couldn't find it in me to feel sorry for whoever they've subjected to their new "workout routine"...
OMG, I agree Natalie H. no one touches my real baby or my fur-babies or this mom turns into OPTIMUS PRIME.
Load More Replies...Stuff like this makes me so enraged that honestly, I might have done worse then just beating him.
Right?! Thirty minutes doesn't quite seem long enough.
Load More Replies...Oh my god look at the kitten <3 I hate violence but I understand completely ❤️
Don't even think about harming my cat. Your pain and suffering will be epic if you do.
Totally reasonable response. I would have called the police on that horrible roommate.
Do NOT feel ashamed!!!! That poor defenseless kitty!!!! I hope he hurts for weeks!!!!!! Freaking a*****e 😡😡😡
I would have rubbed his nose in the litter tray just to add insult to injury
I don't like cats particularly but will happily take over the beatings if the chap tires.
Well done OP. You should get rewarded for defending your furry friend. I wish all abusers would get paid back thousandfold for their crime against innocent / helpless creatures, be it human or animal victims. Wish in real life there were people like the protagonist in The Punisher, The Equalizer and Dexter. So sick and tired of evil people getting away with their actions because they terrorise their victims into not daring take action and the legal justice system failing.
Nobody gets to kick a kitten. Or a cat, or a puppy, or a dog, or a zebra. Go ahead and TRY to kick a kangaroo, but you're the one that will get kicked off and on in a 30 minute time frame.

Can I come over? I just got a new pair of hiking boots and I need to break them in.
A few weeks ago, a guy poured some orange juice over my dog. We were just sitting on a terrace, she was calm, not bothering anyone. I shouted at him, he ran away, I caught up and punched him on the back of his head, grabbed the bottle and showered him with what was left. People thought I was the crazy one, when I explained the situation, they took my side and told me I should actually call police on him for animal abuse. I am not a violent person, but if you hurt an innocent animal, you will receive my full rage.
You haven't said, but I hope you are no longer living with that jerk, because he's liable to abuse your cat again behind your back. Animal abusers, like pedophiles and serial killers, don't just do it once.
Should been a straight up, solid, 30-minute, sober-inducing, mud-hole stomping, floor-wiping, can-opening whoop-a*s, somebody hold my earrings, beat down. You kick an animal around me, especially a 6-week old kitten, you better give your heart to God cause your a*s belongs to me!
You are defending a valued family member. Purrrrrrfectly fair response!
I feel like most people’s response to this would be to ask for his address and a picture of his roommate so they too can come over and beat them up.
The only thing to be ashamed about is not having the stamina or determination to make it one single beating that lasted the whole 30 minutes.
Nothing to be ashamed of here. People who deliberately hurt animals are scum.
a 6 week old kitten should be with it's mother and silings :( Not that I don't understand why the guy beated the roomie up, I would have done that too.
I don't totally agree with their response; but, I understand and I'm would assist them if I were there.
I understand your shame. 20 minutes of beeting would have been reasonable
I see no problem with this as long as you kicked his @rse out of the house then sold all his junk and gave the money to a kitty rescue.
Don't be ashamed. Pretty sure he deserved more than 30minutes. Some people need pain to learn
Anyone else find it concerning that commenters condone quite extreme violence as a valid response? Of course protect your kitten and make sure your roommate understands this is not ok. But responding to violence with more extreme violence doesn't seem like a sustainable solution.
I don't see the issue here. Hurt my child or animals, get hurt back. FAFO.
Abusing any animal is bad. Abusing a 6-week-old baby kitten? Yeah, multiple beatings will be a good lesson for that a**.
30 mins was too short. I would have given him at least an hour lesson on what not to do to an animal. Don’t feel guilty, you gave him exactly what he deserves
For obvious reasons, I will not go into detail about defending my animals. Scum humans don't deserve respect.
Someone kicks my cat..... one cut takes Point zero one second to inflict if you do it right.
So what's the problem? Sounds like a damned good reason to knock the c**p out of someone.
Completely justified. And I guess what the room mate wanted by the sounds of it?

The research also suggests that altruism is ingrained in live beings at an evolutionary level. It is believed that in its basic form, altruism helped preserve species by members helping each other.
It pointed out that it can be witnessed not only among people, but in the animal kingdom as well; for example, among worker bees that “choose feeding the hive’s young over reproducing” or ravens that alert others of their species of a food supply they all can share.

When it comes to people, their level of altruistic tendencies often depends on certain factors, such as age and social proximity of the other person, as well as the nature of what is being sacrificed in order to help others.
A 2017 study revealed that people feel less altruistic sentiment to those who are more socially distant; for instance, they might not help a stranger, but they would a relative in a similar situation. It also suggested that individuals tend to feel more health altruistic towards young kids and more wealth altruistic towards adults, showing that altruism can be somewhat situational.

It’s not only adults feeling altruistic towards kids, though; children as little as two years exhibit signs of seeking to help others as well. Studies suggest that toddlers feel greater happiness when sharing treats rather than getting them themselves. In addition to that, they feel more content giving up their resources rather than sharing something at no cost.

A Mildly Chaotic Good
It's the modern equivalent of noticing patterns of low spots in friends. Fair play to you
Luckily, people seemingly don’t grow out of feeling happy about doing good when they exit the toddler years. Based on Michael Steger’s—a psychologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky—findings, good deeds (even if somewhat chaotic, in my opinion) make people happy.
He carried out a study assessing people’s involvement in pleasure-seeking behavior, versus meaningful activities, such as helping others or listening to people’s problems. Steger learned that the extent to which people participated in meaningful activities was positively linked to their level of happiness; pleasure-seeking behavior, on the other hand, didn’t seem to reap similar rewards.

In addition to the sporadic cases of chaotic good, people also take up volunteering—another activity arguably capable of restoring one’s faith in humanity. According to TeamStage, over a billion people globally take part in volunteering, whose labor equals to over 109 million full-time workers.

Load More Replies...A lot of this is revenge. Revenge isn't justice, revenge is the opposite of justice.
Liked most of these - not the ones that advocate violence. Good does not resort to violence except when absolutely necessary. Good people try peaceful, nonviolent solutions FIRST. On the other hand, some people won't respond to kindness and olive branches. Sometimes you have no choice but to open a can of whoop-a$s.
All these people like 'oh no you can't react negatively to a horrible thing' like bro at this point the only thing that's gonna fix America specifically but the world in general is full on anarchy. Being peaceful and nice will never change anything, you need to actually f**k s**t up and make people notice
