Schadenfreude is a German word meaning joy from sorrow usually used in the context of enjoying someone elses 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 hes experienced lately:
Leaders in Whitefish [Montana] say Mr. Spencer, who once ran his National Policy Institute from his mothers $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 Spencers mother, Sherry Spencer, publishing a Medium post (falsely using Sherry Spencers 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.
Anglins 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).

(15,460 posts)...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.

(28,350 posts)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.
