:: It is obvious that schadenfreude is not an English word &#8212; it&#8217;s German, and it&#8217;s made up of the words Schaden, which means &#8220;harm&#8221; and Freude, which means &#8220;joy.&#8221;\u00a0 \u00a0By definition, schadenfreude means finding joy in someone else&#8217;s harm or misfortune. Schaden Freude would be exactly against, or &#8221; anti -&#8221; the teachings of Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/h3>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As the social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt, noted that an &#8220;us&#8221; versus &#8220;them&#8221; mindset &#8220;&#8230;. often leads to comparing one&#8217;s enemies to infectious &#8220;parasites.&#8221; It results in using metaphors that evoke the moral emotion of disgust.\u00a0 Disgust, according to psychologists Buckels and Trapnell &#8220;appears to have the unique capacity to foster the social-cognitive dehumanization of outcast members.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hitler understood this perfectly, and with his dehumanizing rhetoric, promoted an anti-Jewish exterminationist mentality across Europe. In 1943, Heinrich Himmler, whose mission was to make Jews &#8220;disappear from this earth,&#8221; declared that &#8220;Anti-Semitism is exactly the same as delousing. Getting rid of &#8220;lice&#8221; is not a question of ideology. It is a matter of &#8220;cleansing&#8221;. Nazi leader Hermann Goering referred to Jews as &#8220;swine.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When the Nazis described Jews as &#8220;subhumans&#8221;, they didn&#8217;t mean it metaphorically, they meant literally &#8220;subhuman.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;When a person dehumanizes another human being, they actually conceive of them as subhuman creatures.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Psychologically, to kill another human being or to inflict atrocities against a human being is against our nature. So, when it does happen, it can be useful to understand what it is that allows human beings &#8220;to overcome the very deep and natural inhibitions every human has against treating other people like &#8220;sub-humans&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">President Trump uses similar dehumanizing language. New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and correspondent Maggie Haberman noted that Trump&#8217;s terminology of &#8220;infestation&#8221; makes immigrants into insects. Using metaphors such as insects, vermin, parasites, garbage, and such elicits the feelings of disgust one has for those things and connects that emotion of disgust with the person or group of people described.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to psychologist David Matsumoto and his colleagues, combining feelings of disgust with contempt and anger is particularly potent. Leaders who generate these three emotions at once can engender violence against the targets of their dehumanization.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During the Holocaust, over 40,000 concentration camps and ghettos were established in Europe. Today, almost half of Americans cannot name a single one. Not even Auschwitz. In fact, when asked about it by name in 2018, more than 40% of American adults and fully two-thirds of American Millennials did not know what Auschwitz was.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/happiness-and-the-pursuit-leadership\/201909\/human-beings-are-not-insects-vermin-parasites-or\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/happiness-and-the-pursuit-leadership\/201909\/human-beings-are-not-insects-vermin-parasites-or<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Amts sprache&#8221; &#8230; (This expression was used by Nazi officials to describe a bureaucratic language that denies choice, with words like: &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;have to,&#8221; &#8220;ought.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnvc.org\/what-nvc\/articles-writings\/anger-and-domination-systems\/anger-and-domination-systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.cnvc.org\/what-nvc\/articles-writings\/anger-and-domination-systems\/anger-and-domination-systems<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 27px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">..::&#8221; The most dangerous psychological mistake is the PROJECTION of the shadow onto others.

Non-Violent Communication that Marshall Rosenberg teaches includes understanding anger. \u00a0Anger, Rosenberg believes, is never the problem. \u00a0The problem is that the angry person is supporting what he calls the Domination System. \u00a0The Domination System consists of four parts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Suppression of Self<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Moralistic judgments<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Amtssprache<\/i>\u00a0(this expression was used by Nazi officials to describe a bureaucratic language that denies choice, with words like should, have to, ought)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The crucial concept of\u00a0<i>deserve (entitled class)<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This system trains people to think and communicate in ways that support the system. \u00a0In the Domination System there are only two types of people:\u00a0nice (passive) people or bullies. When you are in a position of authority you are justified in being a bully. You don\u2019t call yourself a bully \u2013 you call yourself an authority. In domination systems authorities are given legal power to bully through the system of deserve, in which punishment, rewards and other forms of coercion get you to do things.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 19px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rosenberg believes that when we buy into this system we\u00a0\u00a0have to make people feel bad about themselves and be penitent. The whole idea is you have to make people realize they are wrong, so you need a language that does that, you need moralistic judgment that implies evil or bad, with words like: good, bad, right, wrong, abnormal, incompetent etc. \u00a0Rosenberg writes, \u201cYou have to make violence enjoyable for domination systems to work.\u201d \u00a0Bullies feel great when they are bullying. \u00a0Employers trying to intimidate employees with nasty letters and scare tactics feel justified in their bullying because they are supporting the domination system. \u00a0They feel good when they are punishing. Employees sitting back passively doing nothing out of fear feed the system. We allow the bully to feel justified because we think we deserve whatever we get. \u00a0All of this is part of the domination system.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 19px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, what do we do? \u00a0We break this cycle. \u00a0Do not suppress who you are; do not judge; do not succumb to the bureaucratic language that denies your freedom; do not under any circumstances believe that you \u201cdeserve\u201d what the domination system is telling you nor believe that someone else \u201cdeserves\u201d what the domination system is giving
