I quit my synagogue bc the rabbi told us not to vote for him; is there a German word for when schadenfreude is hilarious?

"It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here, have, thus far, so nobly advanced."
In a year in which the VP argued that "America is not just an idea," it's worth returning to the Gettysburg Address, delivered on this day 162 years ago.
"We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."
"We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

A version of this has been the refrain for most of my earning years. They just find a new thing: you shouldn't have majored in humanities; you SHOULD have majored in humanities; you didn't learn to code; you DID learn to code; you need a PhD; you idiot, why did you get a Phd?, etc ad nauseum!
I know everyone is saying AI is doing this but I think it's the entire economy sucking shit that's doing this and they're just using AI as an excuse.
learn to code, they said nymag.com/intelligence...
