gollark: If you kill bacteria, you're disrespecting my single-celled-organism ancestors.
gollark: Oh yes, this is yet another great thing about politics, you can randomly bring your personal experiences in to make meta-complaints about people's arguments.
gollark: I don't want anyone exterminated, and I also don't want large restrictions on speech.
