gollark: BACTERIUM RIGHTS WHEN?
gollark: You can't objectively have a "should" without an "in order to".
gollark: > this is how everyone's mindset should look like for building a better society.This is also subjective.
gollark: > but I don't care about human rights of people who don't care about human rights of other peopleGreat, so you picked that *subjective* judgement, okay.
