I think that's very true, but spite is just a toxic emotion in any context

I'm angry. I'm angry at them for making their brain dead decisions my problem. I don't have a lot of sympathy for them, I'm not very motivated to help them

But I don't enjoy their suffering, because their consequences are going to be felt by all of us. I don't really want them to suffer at all, it gives me nothing. Not even the satisfaction of being right - there was no question this would be the outcome

When they come crawling back, if they ever have a moment of rational thought, I don't want to say "I told you do". I want to say "I want what's best for everyone, including you, and what's best for everyone is you stop having opinions. Shut up and find someone smarter than you"
