I keep coming back to Fanon's observation, that the colonial situation dehumanizes the colonizer. They're ontologically evil, at the core of their being they are creatures that have made themselves inhuman so that they can benefit from colonization and imperialism.

inhuman

I agree with the other commenters who say phrases are better.

With single words, for it to have punch it has to be uncommonly used like a slur or a "smart" word.

Slurs aren't an option for obvious reasons and most "smart words" fall short because no one knows what they mean (the exception are words like "ingrate" which vaguely sound like a slur but are actually just "smart words").

Even with phrases, it can be tricky. Quips like "fatherless behavior" are funny even amongst those with a dad sized hole in their heart- but you risk hurting people all the same.

One thing that works for me is to make uncomfortable comparisons:

• My contemporary that watches mass shooting videos a little too often isn't "evil", he's entertained by cannibalism.
• Your coworker isn't a pedo for liking loli, they're someone with an "Epstein-like fascination for little girls".

Being laughed at ostensibly can be worse than being called any slur, I like the above examples because they have a pretty good chance of igniting laughter in a group setting. Getting other people in the room to clown on your target is a quick way to shut them down. And the pain of social ostracization is one that lingers for a long time.

demon

say it with as much disgust and venom as you can muster

prob bonus points as the target is likely a christian supremacist

Parasite is my goto. Vampire might also work, but they are romanticized to all hell.

I think insults tend to have that ableist skew, turns of phrase however (eg 'they ain't seeing heaven') can be evocative without the ableist connotations imo.

Describing someone's actions nakedly (such as: murderous, manipulative, incurious, gullible, cowardly and so on) feel more appropriate and truthful than the 'innate' descriptors like the ones you said you want to get away from (which I think is where the ableism is rooted in)

• Failed bourgeois
• Epstein cultist
• Future Kirk
• Demiurge worshipper
• Deathcult solicitor

Related, but I'd also like a punchy non-ableist word for someone who is just monumentally and deliberately ignorant. Like, whatever the fuck Matt Yglesias is.

Predator is a good one. The only reason groomer is so firmly in right wing vocabulary now is because their feelings were hurt with it first.

I think the word is "sadist."

"Satans" or "shayateen" is where my own inner monolog tends to go. Or sometimes I'll say "shaitans" or even the double plural "shayateens". I also sometimes call those types of people KESS-kə-SAYZ (spelling varies) in my inner monolog, but given that that's a reference to the song "Psycho Killer" maybe it inherits ableist baggage from that song? Not that I'd expect anyone but myself to use such a term, anyways.

Edit: "Alex DeLarge types" or "droogs" are some more terms I use.

asshole

I always think of sociopath for this. perfectly reasonable people who just hate the idea of working with anybody or anything to construct or maintain society, or seek to exploit its dissolution. but i dont know if that isnt just swapping one bad word for another. i like my words to have some complexity or academic vibe.

I thought maybe sociopath, but looking it up I find it IS a medical condition.

Unfortunately culturally the words that resonate with the most power are ableist. You don't find the other words to generate the same feeling because we've culturally turned people's ailments into our regularly used pejoratives; other words that aren't ableist don't strike the same because of culture. Heck, those people can take those words and turn them into a cool descriptor rather than be offended. It's probably why they hate the word chud; they can't try and turn it around to sound cool. Ghoul, vampire, demon, these can be turned around to sound cool; try mutant, I don't think they can turn that one around and it also carries that inherent insult to their belief in their racial superiority.

• The rot of us
• Human predators
• Wendigo

Evil and cruel fit the bill

Call them what they are - supremacists

I feel like any derogatory term for someone who should be shunned and made to feel lesser that doesnt have racist or exist connotations has been used as an ableist insult cause that's what people has left. So while some may feel this way, I do try to avoid terms where the literal meaning is ableist. I call these people freaks very often, etymologically a freak is an overly capricious person, which later led to it being used to describe a capriciously obsessive person and then broadened into a term for a hateful circus act. The adjective Disgusting gets passed around alot in my speech, I feel it fits the bill.nicely. I use monsters and ghouls a lot cause the bill fits. They arent hot enough to be demons. I don't think Butcher gets thrown around enough. I generally make it up kn the spot to suite whichever loathsome fuck i have the the displeasure of being aware of. Loathsome fuck was on the spot for example. When seeing how much impact a word has, try it out loud. Be poetic. Or anti poetic, 'loathsome fuck' is a decent example. It sounds like a star wars alien name, and those all sound like slurs. Do a 5 dollar word followed by a really childish insult and you've got the best combo generally. Just don't go 2010s reddit and call people Incandescent Dunderheads. Informative adjective followed by a swear word. Ricky from trailer park boys herd it right. Just call someone what they are doing followed by Dick. Security guy bothering you? Security dick, sometimes describing the kind of dick someone is tskes a paragraph but the summary can hurt.

Geek seems to get under people's skin in a weird way. Same with weenie
