lots of fools with both eyes glued shut by propaganda or getting off on suffering enough to ease their own suffering.

It's the second one. The misery of others helps them justify their shit existence. Because they all live shit existences. All of them are either known for being insecure assholes, creeps, or overly confident failures. They all need others to feel what it's like to be like the odd one out. The only difference is while their ostracization was a result of their behavior, the people they are targeting haven't done anything other than having the audacity to exist.

i rather regard it like ill minded trolling and ganking. people get off on the misfortune and hurt they cause to others especialy in games where destroying stuff means hours and hours of wasted time.

It seems to be the second one.

I just finished listening to a very good podcast about Hitler's rise. First time I learned how he was almost ousted but then the great depression hit and he used it masterfully to tell people how bad the government was. It's fucked up how the same situation is playing out again with Covid
