I'm old. I've always used "pig" instead.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 month ago

That's an insult to pigs.

[–] Mindwolf@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Came here to say the same thing. "Pig" is a good gender neutral term and has universal appeal.

I believe the current term is "class traitor"

"Police person" also implies that police are people...

Oh, they're definitely people, just class betraying, oppressive, abusive people, who dedicate their lives to work exclusively in service of even more oppressive and abusive people, in exchange for some power to trip on.

i kno, police bad. i jus don come from US so police here is not so bad at all. i really do feel safer when those peeps are around.

so dehumanizing, at least to me, seems unreasonable.
