Finding pleasure in the suffering of other people is quite literally the definition of sadism. Be proud of it if you want, but that’s what it is.
Also, it’s very obviously not true that all the people who lost their jobs are highly paid. It’s curious how this self-deception keeps appearing among people who are cheering it on.
But I read the GP to mean they've seen people crossing a thin line.
I doubt any of us are above a bit of schadenfreude when the fates deal a fair dose of karma to someone we think deserves it.
But actively cheering (and trying to multiply, in the case of aggressive trolling) the sadism in public is a kind of dark prayer.
