This is exactly what I’m talking about. People are taking pleasure in other people’s misery, foolishly choosing to respond negatively to negativity. It’s toxic and harmful to both you and the other party. Plus, you’re modeling antisocial behavior for other people, effectively enabling similar behavior in others. Imagine choosing instead to respond positively to negativity. The fact that you enjoy someone else’s suffering suggests that you are insecure, and you’re finding false solace in others’ lack of solace.
Dude you're way too concerned about people's emotions. "Your emotions will hurt too if you hurt other people's emotions!".
It's like you've delved so hard into spiritual introspection that now your head is lodged INSIDE of your anus, and you can no longer apply these great, navel-gazing wisdoms to the people who oppose you.
Instead of analyzing the world through the "unconditional benevolence" lens, try analyzing them through the "practical, results-based" lens. Turning the other cheeks has got us where we are today, and the only people who want you to think that "fighting back" has negative spiritual connotations are the ones who want you spiritually blind.
No, you misunderstood what I was saying. What do you gain from defending people who choose to shoot themselves in their own foot instead of making productive choices? I hear what you're saying - if people want to respond negatively to positivity, it's their choice - but why do you think it's more beneficial to raise your cortisol levels than to lower them? Don't you prefer to be healthy instead of unhealthy? Plenty of Americans are currently engaging in self-harm, so maybe you are a masochist?

Pratically, looking at results, it makes no sense to choose to shoot yourself in the foot over trash. Just take the trash out. Why get angry over it?
You're implying that ridiculing our enemies is "shooting ourselves in the foot" and that it's "anger". Look at the picture. Does anything about that suggest impotent rage or anger? It's a meme. It's humor. We're neither angry, nor hurting ourselves. We're laughing at our enemy, and we won't stop for your brand of ideals.
