Why are dogs like this?
>>
This was one of the aspects of dogs that made them beloved. Before Abrahamism.
Socrates and Glaucon:
>'No wonder we can't find the answer, my friend. We have forgotten the example we set up for ourselves.'
>'Explain.'
>'We forgot that there actually are natural dispositions of the kind we have just decided don't exist, dispositions which do contain these opposite qualities.'
>'What are they?'
>'Well, you can find them in a number of animals, but especially in the one we compared with our guardian. You are aware, presumably, that it is the natural disposition of pure-bred dogs to be as gentle as possible to those they know and recognise, and the exact opposite to those they don't know.'
>'Yes, I am.'
>'So such a thing is possible,' I said. 'And in looking for a guardian of this kind, we are not looking for something unnatural.'
>'Apparently not.'
>'In that case, do you think the person who is going to be guardian material needs another quality as well? Do you want him, as well as being spirited and energetic, to be also by temperament a lover of wisdom, a philosopher?'
>'What do you mean? I don't understand.'
>'It's another thing you see in dogs, I replied.' Something which makes you admire the animal.'
>'What's that?'
>'When it sees someone it doesn't know, a dog turns nasty, even though it hasn't been badly treated by him in the past. When it sees someone familiar, it welcomes him, even if it has never been at all well treated by him. Haven't you ever found that rather remarkable?'
>'I'd never really thought about it up to now,' he said. 'But I think there's no doubt a dog does behave like that.'
>'It seems clever, this side of its nature. It seems to show a true love of wisdom.'
>'In what way?'
>'Because,' I replied, 'it classifies what it sees as friendly or hostile solely on the test that it knows one, and doesn't know the other. It means to be a lover of knowledge if it defines friend and enemy by means of knowledge and ignorance.'
>'Yes,' he said, 'it must.'

That's so fucking cute man.

The ancient aryans believed dogs were godly animals and their religion commanded that men feed their dogs before themselves. Black dogs with eye spots held special significance. Demonizing these dogs was done to attempt to dismantle their culture during the abrahamics bloody expansion.
>>
>>5079970
Dogs are extremely based and filled with love and joy. That is what puts them up there as one of the best animals ever. It's also why 4chan is and always has been a dog website.

Words of a dogfucker that drove /dog/ general into the ground and now want the rest of the board to have the same fate. Notice how /dog/ doesn't exist anymore? Ask them why and watch them shit and piss all over the place just like their dogs do.

Hedgehogschizo is a better schizo than you btw.
>>
>>5079970
Sorry your wholesome thread got ruined by catschizo.
>>
>>5080142
>Ask them why
There are two reasons

One is you and cat people like you, who spammed constant CP and zoophile porn. A lot of this may have been motivated by a certain dogfucker from /horse/ that /dog/ attempted to dox having pedo catfag friends.

The other is surfing sputnik, AKA marcies owner, who had a literal schizophrenic meltdown.

To be fair to marcies owner, he only cleaned up the scraps after the cat schizos (especially that euronigger one) wrecked the thread with several fucking days of child fucking pornography spam. It was just when there was no one left, he was less tolerable, and was, in fact, the only person still posting.

A cat schizo did say it best. Dog owners do not need /dog/. They do not need 4chan. They will not weather child pornography spam. They will just go outside with their dog.
But they still come back here to shit on cats and catfaggots. And everyone who was active on /an/ this year is very familiar with the lows catfaggots will stoop to to try and "win" an argument ergo catfags lost this one forever

/an/ will hate cats for the forseeable future because of what was done to /dog/.
>>
>>5080160
>bestiality obsession
Everyone knows why you never shut the fuck up about dogfuckers and readily dispense encyclopedic knowledge about dog sex, catschizo. The common dog w and pomf link were appalling, but what came after, just bad.

Instead of hating dogs to cope with your fetish try chemical castration for a change. You’re like a fundie closet case that has fag cock in his mouth one way or another.
>>
>>5079982
Surely Plato is taking the piss here, right? At least a little? It's obviously unwise to be automatically hostile to strangers like a dog.

Well, the last statement is what is telling. He’s describing a healthy aversion to ignorance and the unknown.

I was going to post that, but I think you've said it better. It's one of the anti dogschizo's classic tactics.
I hope the anti-dogschizo enjoys all the dog threads that will be on the catalog in the coming days now that there isn't a general.

It doesn't have to be full blown hostility. Just aversion is sufficient.

Watch some basic biology and how prisoner's dilemma helped people understand interactions. It's great example, but it's just simplification of real world. That's because in social group you don't deal with only one other human, but whole groups like families, friends, neighbourhoods, religious or political affiliations etc, so potential revenge might come not from person you interacted, but anyone close to them. On top of that it's not as simple as 0 and 1, either defection or cooperation, because both helping stranger get to railway station by giving pointers and letting homeless under your roof and letting him take a shower so he'd look better and had higher chance of finding job are acts of cooperation, but of entirely different degrees with entirely different risks, meaning it's full spectrum of cooperation and defection between 0 and 1. This example beautifully shows mechanics of trust, and those who trust completely without previous interactions are retards to be exploited. That's why welfare in the west is destroyed by browns from cultures who exploit it and take it for free thinking westerners who set up these institutions are naive suckers and deserve to be exploited.
Also notice that animals don't jump to each other's throats the moment they get into eye contact. They almost always keep distance and either pass each other, or try to scare the other away via non-physical methods like growling, hissing, fake-attacking etc. Remember that webm with dogs barking at each other through gate, but the moment gate is opened they pretend nothing happened?
Being in a group is also confidence boost. I noticed that my dog was much more likely to participate in chasing away neighbor cat who attacked our cats when I was taking broom to do it myself. They instinctively cooperate by cutting off escape routes and flanking. I never taught her that.

Than why is it that Christian countries venerate our dogs while your beloved "Aryans" venerate cows while demonizing dogs?

You know the answer, he just can't bring himself to say it out loud.
>>
>>5080321
Because when he said aryan, he meant the now absent ruling caste of india that only has remnants still alive in pockets of iran and afghanistan. The blue eyed people they built statues of.
>>
>>5080321
The most Christian Western nation (USA) is full of fat, angry, middle-aged dog abusers (beating, choking, shocking, locking in crates without water, "weeeelll you see my shepherd naturally knows who's da alpha" types) that think they perfectly understand dog behavior through caesar millan, the bible, and k9 training. Conversely, on the coast you have atheistic yuppies who treat their dogs like royalty. Dogs are seen as well below man in the Bible, whereas cultures predating Judaism see dogs as all-good, holy animals who are praised for their loyalty. Like Argos.
>>
>>5080398
The bible speaks of dogs like it speaks of rats. No good has ever come from taking the laws of the jews seriously. Anything good in there was already known to every other civilization, most of which knew additional goods christians hesitantly accepted much later.

The indo aryans are maybe 1% related to their hindoo ex-slaves. Amazing how when their descendants returned their first instinct was to subjugate hindoostan for no particular reason (and the hindoos helped them)

That's basically all of Plato. The Republic legit reads like he's taking the piss half the time.

There’s a commune of redditors called r/dogfree, and a much smaller commune of redditors called r/ifuckinghatecats and r/petfree. These people are so prone to hostility, extreme sexual deviance, and legally questionable comments, that they frequently get global bans on reddit (hard to evade because a lot are from third world countries) and when they do they come straight here.
>>
>>5081315
Like you, I'm convinced they're larping, too. I don't like cats and I hate monkeys but I would never hurt either, have never watched any videos depicting either being hurt and would never want to see either being hurt. I can't imagine what sort of foul, loathsome creature would seek out that sort of media, nevermind create any. Just unbelievably vile behaviour overall to the point where it has to be a larp.
