    I don’t think you understand the meaning of the prefix proto from the Greek πρωτο- meaning before.

    Specifically proto-fascism is the precursor movements that became fascism, particularly in Italy in the early 20th century. It isn’t some generic term for “kinda a bit like some parts of fascism, I dunno maybe?”

    Most purebreeds are genetic backwaters now with large numbers of congenital defects endemic. Dalmatians being born blind and having seizures being an obvious example.

    Then when you add on the characteristics demanded by kennel club “breed standards” you end up with frankenstein creations not able to support themselves. Daschunds with legs so short their belly is constantly rubbing on the ground and they get infected sores, bloodhounds with such drooping jowels that they get injured, bulldogs that can’t support their own weight. Mongrelise your pets!
