Negro Matapacos (“Cop-Killer Blackie”) was a famous stray dog from thestreets of Santiago who joined student protests across the city from 2010, and in particular during the 2011 movement for free education.
he was a stray dog from the streets of Santiago, and began joining student demonstrations in 2010. The following year, one of the biggest social movements since the fall of the military dictatorship began, fighting for free education and against neoliberal reforms to the education system.
Negro Matapacos was then seen regularly at every demonstration, defying tear gas and water cannons and always barking at or attacking only the riot police, and never any students or rioters. He subsequently continued to appear sporadically at future demonstrations, and hung out on university campuses, becoming beloved to student and radical movements as a symbol of resistance to violent authority.
His last days were spent resting with people who took him in, with a crowdfunded veterinarian.
Some people who knew him sent us some of their memories of him, telling us how he defied tear gas and water cannons, and only ever barked at or attacked police officers, and never students or rioters.
After his death, his legacy lives on in songs, street murals, an award-winning documentary and in the memories of all those who knew him. He was a good boy.

In New Vegas wouldn't it make more sense if even people outside of Caesars legion pronounced it Kaiser? It's not likely there's particularly high literacy and it being 200 years into the apocalypse the salad is long gone and the average dude isn't reading up on Rome in any capacity. Wouldn't they just repeat it the way they heard it said?
this is an interesting point because Arcade talks about how Eddie Sallow has the same information that the Followers and NCR have, so if the sources said Kaisar then why are the NCR saying it wrong, or if the sources said Caesar, why did he fuck it up?
anyway it does create a nice sense of otherness between the two groups
Sallow probably swapped to the more og pronunciation to differentiate himself and cause he's a nerd. I could see Followers and NCR soldiers and the more in rhe know civilians going with Caesar cause you don't change how you've been saying a word just cause your enemy did and I'd have to imagine the ncr brass did think about the Roman empire a lot when preparing to fight it's larpers. I'm talking myself out of my point now, I guess most people picked it up from NCR patrols. Maybe traders or whatever should be going with Kaiser if they've come from back east.
well if it's meant to make him seem like more of a nerd, just like his Hegel rant, he's actually wrong in the details. lmao

I always thought caesars legion should've spoken spanish since it's a romance language. You live in the american southwest, you larp as romans, why aren't you speaking "neo-latin" aka spanish?
