    The problem with subtext is that I can’t tell if they’re talking about Israel, or if they’re a neocon ghoul who wants to nuke Iran. Or the US? Or Russia? The political content is completely lost in the subtext

      The subtext does make it clear enough that it’s Israel because there is no other country that is acting as a rabid dog that belongs to someone else.

        Yes, but some decide to live in bizzzaro world instead for some reason.

      To be fair “rabid dog” doesn’t narrow it down much in the US

    sometimes the dog is a beloved pet and the owner would rather annihilate the neighborhood than magdump into the feral beast

      Sometimes the owner is also a rabid dog, tbh. And sometimes the owner’s family is just a bunch of deeply inbred, rabid dogs. amerikkka ukkk kkkanada aus-delenda-est eu-cool isntrael

      It’s rabid dogs all the way down. The community will have to take out all the rabid dogs, not just the smallest and stinkiest of the bunch, otherwise the rabid dogs will just keep inbreeding and further inbreeding…

    If subtext is for cowards, what is cop-talk passive language?

      The negation of the negation is distinct from the original phenomenon, so the negation of text being subtext and the negation of subtext being cop passive language implies that it is actually “domtext”
