On the contrary, I like to see people succeed. What I don't care for is arrogance and egotistical self righteousness.
Justice-Based Schadenfreude is the type of joy a person experiences when someone that the observer views as immoral or "bad" is shamed or otherwise harmed. It is the pleasure associated with seeing a "bad" person being harmed or receiving karmic retribution. For example, many people would feel happy upon seeing a politician who recently won an election, fall from grace and get indicted for campaign finance violations. Schadenfreude is experienced here because it makes people feel that an fairness has been restored for a previously un-punished wrong.
100%. You're marginally less a scam than Polenta, but you're far more prolific (post count). Perhaps you should stick to your stops and stop editing your posts. You ignore stops and still, by your own admission, made $18K last year? I suppose a PT gig at McDonalds wouldn't blog well. The Dubai thing was cringey. You're back after five days from the "Phillipines" (sic) and Dubai? Mr. Mitty, you would have spent almost three days IN THE AIR. Yes, the entire board knows you are FOS.
A large number of people on the left and indeed some on the right experience and exhibit justice-based and other sub-types of schadenfreude towards our president.
Mods: please move thread to Politics forum. "Our" President is running a multitude of scams as well. I can see why you're aligned with that POS. Perhaps you can chair his "Department of Tick Phucking"
Classic example of schadenfreude on the part of the responder in the second quote to the writer of the first quote---
Many folks feel the effects of schadenfreude at sporting events. This occurs when you see the misery and despair on the opposing fans faces when they are losing. --but a real sad fact is that an awful lot of people get delight when opposing players are hurt. This cannot be effectively disputed.
