>disinterested critical discourse is really just a willful schadenfreude?
I think the writer has misunderstood the word "schadenfreude". He seems to understand it as
"joy you get from hurting somebody else".
I always understood SchadenFreude to mean
"the joy you get from somebody else's loss
or other misfortune" - with no active
participation by you in causing it.
