The vice mayor of Cudahy is under fire after posting a shocking message on social media, allegedly calling on street gang members to stand up against immigration raids.
I think the reason it feels like schadenfreude is the context of the community.
Like, the only version of why someone would post this here that makes sense to me is, “haha, yeah, go gang members, eff those cops.” The person with that mentality would view this as “upliftingnews,” which would fit in the schadenfreude bucket to me.
Is that what OP thought? I can’t possibly know. But I don’t know why else they would have posted it here if they didn’t.
It’s good to question intent of any op. I’m personally was also really happy with the no schadenfreude rule, so no downvotes from me. This feels as the maximum level of political news for me, but because there is less of that here lately my tolerance has grown as well.
This would be schadenfreude to me if the point was to discredit the politician / the party in question. I can’t tell if that is the intent, but maybe if i had a different world view (and thought she did something bad), i could have.
