I'm trying to imagine someone from Sri Lanka or Indonesia reading this. How do we call that when we deeply sympathize with the schadenfreude you'd be the subject of? There has to be a german word for this.

Reporter imagines how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now.

This is by far the most clear-eyed description I've seen of the severity of what is happening.

Relevant to HackerNews partly because it includes descriptions of how Big Tech executives are effectively bribing the Trump Administration in exchange for removing federal watchdogs.
