Maybe it's the latest way of writing us off

• You're all bots!

• You may not be bots, but you're all paid agents!

• You may not be paid agents, but you're all blindly ideological tankies!

• You may not be blindly ideological, but you're all terminally online basement dwellers!

I suppose it's just another one of those words that makes ebic bacon redditeurs feel smart when using it

They'll switch to something else next week lol

Why the fuck is "troglodyte" an offensive word anyways, seriously, underground dwellings are great for temperature, noise, security, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, cost of construction, disaster preparedness, you name it, they've been used by countless peoples since the dawn of mankind because they're a genuinely great form of housing, honestly we should fucking ALL be troglodytes instead of deforesting the world to build fucking suburbs killing the planet filling the sky with so much light pollution and actual pollution that I can't even see the fucking stars half the time. The McMansion and its consequences have been a disas

Very recently I've also seen "Unga Bunga" being said by totally-not-racist racist liberals, and they pretend to be innocent smol beans that totally only think of 90s video games with cavemen when they think "Unga Bunga."

To be fair, our go-to insult for reactionaries is C.H.U.D.

Trogged up and PROUD.

They are clearly taking a radical housing modernization position, attaching negative connotation to cave-dwelling due to its vulnerability to earthquakes. In a word, psyop.

Sounds like a dog whistle for "sub-human" fascist language imo

I've been using it for a while in real life to refer to who we normally call ghouls. Maybe they all got it from me?

When i was a kid i wanted to be like saint francis asis because he lived in a cave and could talk with woodland creatures. So in a way ive always wanted to be a troglodyte.

I've been using that word for ages. Aaah I'M THE LIB

Pretty sure it's the same group of people who were saying sch*zo 2 weeks ago.

I've been calling people troglodytes for years

The unit from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 always pops into my mind

left right and centre

wrong - they only punch left

The word troglodyte has real "smart kid in fourth grade trying to own his bullies" energy.

troglodyte left right and centre

I live in the US and in the few decades I never heard a right-winger use that word. It seems insane now but long ago many republicans used to see themselves as worldly and intellectual and liberals the opposite. In the 1980s when I was old enough to be interested in politics - it's possible I saw or heard a republican like William F. Buckley use it. I can imagine somebody like him using the word to describe any liberal who in their mind was uncouth, unrefined, unsophisticated with "radical" interests like a fondness for the Grateful Dead or granola or something.

Way back in the day - republicans used to be (very) unintentionally funny. Now they tend to be tedious, corporate drone humorless freaks like Ted Cruz.

Could it be the same person doing it on alts?

wish i had a shell

It's because all libs have started playing HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC III.
They were infuriated that the scene was dominated by russians, so they've taken to using the weakest unit as an insult (Pirate town best town)
