Schadenfreude is a German word meaning “joy from sorrow” — usually used in the context of enjoying someone else’s pain — and a New York Times article about alt-right neo-Nazi organizer Richard Spencer has provided a generous serving of schadenfreude for the holiday weekend, describing a long list of misfortunes he’s experienced lately:

Leaders in Whitefish [Montana] say Mr. Spencer, who once ran his National Policy Institute from his mother’s $3 million summer house here, is now an outcast in this resort town in the Rocky Mountains, unable to get a table at many of its restaurants. His organization has dissolved. Meanwhile, his wife has divorced him, and he is facing trial next month in Charlottesville, Va., over his role in the deadly 2017 neo-Nazi march there, but says he cannot afford a lawyer.

The Times details how Spencer and his former wife had gotten in a dispute with a local real estate agent named Tanya Gersh regarding a commercial property in downtown Whitefish owned by Spencer’s mother, Sherry Spencer, publishing a Medium post (falsely using Sherry Spencer’s name) in December 2016 accusing Gersh of attempting to blackmail Sherry Spencer into selling the property.

A predictable flood of harassment and threats soon followed, especially after Andrew Anglin, the founder of the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer, launched an antisemitic hate campaign against Gersh that included publishing her personal contact information and social media accounts.

Anglin’s readers sent Gersh hundreds of calls, text messages, and emails — even Christmas cards with threatening messages — and they also targeted other Whitefish residents who were Jewish (or whom they just thought had Jewish-sounding names).

21. Gee, and going full Nazi seemed like such a good career move

Oh well, the best-laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley.

[NBachers]

22. Tailspinning right into the hard ground

[Silent3]

23. I'm sure his wife and his mother knew all along he was neo-Nazi scum...

...so I'm guessing that his wife divorcing him and his mother (I infer -- it's not directly stated) ejecting his office from her house is merely because they only liked him when he was successful neo-Nazi scum, popular with his own kind and not well known enough among civilized people to get booed out of restaurants.

31. His mommy's antisemitism is part of what launched him out of obscurity

She was bitching that her Jewish realtor was ripping her off and blackmailing her when in reality the realtor thought of her as a friend she fell sorry for and was trying to help her get the best possible price on an overpriced poisoned shithole of a property.

The wifey left him not too long after she gave birth to a girl. Perhaps she wanted more for her daughter than fascist ideology where men rule and girls are second-best.
