    Honestly, I've been liking how just downright Correct "dog" feels as invective for those types. What else do you call a servile animal that somebody else housebroke specifically to sit in their laps and lap at their boots?

      Even most dogs have a stronger moral compass than these libs though, I don't want to disparage good pups

        True. I've just been working to excise explicitly gendered slurs out of my vocabulary given where I grew up and honestly 'dog' somehow feels more raw

          It does have a good impact and reminds me fondly of the speech from MGS2 where Gurlukovich calls the Marine commandant a dog, it has a connotation of anti-imperialism in my mind, I just love dogs doggo-matapacos

        I feel like your average dog has the subconscious intuition to empathize at least somewhat with human emotions without explicit training, something that liberals are clearly lacking

          I think most dogs are capable of learning to suppress that if a malicious owner is diligently training them towards that from a young enough age. But somehow I think I'm not going to be interested in distributing blame for how this attack dog is acting until I'm no longer in the same room as him.

      We've come from the days of only sort of understanding communists of old using phrases like imperialist dogs, to understanding it very viscerally and personally
