    Dog people are some of the worst psychopaths JFC. I don’t get how you can love dogs, but then have nothing but contempt for cats, humans (especially children), and non-mammals. What causes this? It’s probably sadists are drawn to dogs over other living things, right?

      Never met a dog person who actively hated other non-human mammals, did met all kind of racists that loved their pets.

      It’s a distinctly reactionary angle, because these are also people who do not actually respect their dogs

      They like their dogs, but their dogs are their property

      This is why they have such contempt about other animals, because they view them as invaders or detritus

    • because dogs are obedient, humans cats and other animals don’t take a few treats and pets to become subservient, a dog is so domesticated it isn’t an animal anymore, it’s a tool, an animal bred and trained for the sole purpose of being a police dog doesn’t have choice and doesn’t say no. I haven’t slept in a while and I don’t know if I’m saying nonsense but dogs are the last socially acceptable minions, I’ve noticed that the moment westerners stopped making it socially acceptable to make their kids minions they had a decline in wanting to have kids.

        Would this happen to be at the same time that the cost of everything, especially raising kids, began to skyrocket while wages stagnated/fell? That really would be some coincidence

            All good friend. I don’t completely disagree anyway, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here when it comes to conservatives specifically. These are the people constantly whining about falling (white) birth rates and yet they view/treat their children as property. The same people that kick their own children out on the street if they find out the kid is gay. And of course theyre removing any and all economic support for actually raising children.

            And there’s 10s of millions of these people in the US alone

        I don’t hate or dislike dogs. And there’s a bazillion dog owners who aren’t a problem. I’m just wondering who the fuck thinks getting a dog out of Palestine is a priority over the dog’s human companion.

          Oh no I agree, just feel like there’s this anti-dog, pro-cat bias in leftist spaces that flairs up sometimes. Heck r/TrueAnon had a whole thread about how dog owners are reactionary (can’t find it now for whatever reason). I agree a lot of dog owners are asshole but as a dog owner myself some of the dog-hate circle jerking I see here irks me slightly.
