That remark is exhibit A in the repertoire of evidence for the collapse of civil society.
Just because someone does not agree with 'your' opinions does not make that person bad. This is also the core of the whole woke madness which is currently raging, the conviction that anyone who does not follow the current narrative is bad/*-ist/*-phobe or just 'deplorable'. That attitude belongs to religious zealots, not to political ideologies.
- gremloni 5y agoHe’s literally taking pleasure at someone else’s expense. It’s sadism. That’s almost the definition of a bad person. It’s not something I just throw around.
- the_third_wave 5y agoHe is taking pleasure in what he terms the woke brouhaha which to me does not translate to individuals suffering, more to insufferable individuals. It may be schadenfreude but that does not make him bad nor does it make him guilty of sadism.
- gremloni 5y agoSadism can definitely apply to a group of people. Individuals suffering is not antonymic to insufferable individuals so I don’t even know how to respond to that “argument”.
