In short, schadenfreude was verboten. Verboten wasn’t verboten. Neither was “angst,” nor a bevy of words borrowed from foreign languages. Decolletage? Derriere? Carte blanche? Carpe diem? Gesundheit? All acceptable.

Even children in kindergarten learn about schadenfreude.

Kids are able to wallow in schadenfreude quite without any training at all.

Does that mean they are by nature all future FReepers and the educrats train it out of them? ;-)
