    There’s a lost word in English, epicaricacy, joy upon evil. We use schadenfreude now, but that only covers delight at misfortune or embarrassment. Epicaricacy is darker as it’s the satisfaction taken in cruelty itself. That distinction matters.. especially when we see leaders and commanders who don’t just accept suffering, but leverage it.

    It’s Orwellian that we’ve lost the word epicaricacy, joy in evil itself. Without it, most can’t quite name what they see in the likes of Ben Gvir, Smotrich, Miller.
