What kind of persond delights in seeing other people's misery when they're literally trying to follow the law for legal immigration.

[–] GoodMonson@lemmy.zip 68 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I mean, it seems beyond sociopath. Sociopath is lacking empathy, but to delight in someone else’s misery.. it’s psychotic.

Curious if you mean psychopathic?

I mean, it's easy to joke that Republicans suffer from psychoses (hallucinations and delusions) but in the context of extreme antisocial behavior and lack of empathy, psychopathic might be the right word.

Word you're looking for is sadist

Literally a dangerous psycopath.

This is basically 'tortured kittens to death as a kid' level shit.

If you made a TV show or Movie where a character did this, people would say it was heavy handed and lacked subtlely, it is too over the top, it isn't a well written bad guy (gal) character, it's schlocky.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sociopathic phychosis, to narrow it down a little more.

It's that lack of empathy that seems like the initial trigger.

Edit: Sadistic sociopathic psychosis.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 11 points 1 week ago

They tell themselves the people deserve it.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

We have many technical words for this. Sociopath comes to mind first.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Some people are just evil.

“I have to tell you – one of my favorite things to watch on YouTube these days are … court hearings where illegals are in court and Ice shows up to drag them out of court and deport them,” the South Carolina representative said during an appearance on Sunday on Fox Report Weekend.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago

I think thats the sickest part. She could have said she delights in seeing violent criminals getting rounded up. She could say anything really. Its not like honesty is required of her (in her opinion).

Instead she admits she delights in seeing them interfere with the system. If she was referring to immigration court then these are people doing exactly what we ask of them. If this is criminal court, they are already caught and there isn't a need to abduct them from the courthouse.

So glad people like this insane cunt are voted into positions of power

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Got a love electoralist politics and hierarchical power structures. All of society being controlled by the outcome of the lowest common denominator. Such a wonderful system, ain't it? (/s)

Those "positions of power" only have power because we collectively "agree" to concede to their authority.

We could always collectively organize to do something else ... but that means effort and risk needs to be taken. Sadly, in my experience, not enough people are ready and willing to take those risks . . . yet.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 1 week ago

The problem is you want real actual change for the better, most voters just want their team to win because they think it's the lesser of two evils.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If the majority of voters are voting for this, then that’s your majority willing to collectively organize to do something.

What the actual..

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a scene in Cocaine Bear involving an ambulance.

Yeah, there's one part in particular that Mace deserves.

nothing more American’ than Ice dragging people out of court

She is a terrible person but this is indeed how rest of the world see America today.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

And will see it for a very long time.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This still cracks me up...

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

She's 47 years old, and the best she ever felt is this one time when she got taken out for dinner? No wonder she enjoys watching other people suffer.

Nazi likes being the villain. Got it.

I wish for her what she wishes for immigrants.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would absolutely watch videos of her being deported to CECOT.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Will there be waterboarding? I feel like there should almost definitely be waterboarding

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I mean most Nazis enjoy watching unnecessary human suffering and degradation. It's baked into the morals and personality.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

It’s going to be so much fun seeing these people arrested and tried after the coming civil war.

She totally rubs one out while watching.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I was just thinking about the old "not hurting the people he needs to be hurting". Well now they see it as hurting the people that need to be hurting. This is who they are.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So, advertising that you're a complete piece of shit and a sadist. Well, at least you own it.
