bacteria, fungus, plants, protozoa, and (arguably) viruses are all alive, too. bed bugs. rattlesnakes. being alive isn’t actually that special, nor a reason, in itself, to refrain from eating or killing that thing.

‘Genocide Joe’ was an alt-right psyop

this claim requires evidence. who, when, where?

thank God

^ This is what forum sliding looks like disguised as progressive concern.

no, it’s not.

Fuck every one of you and I’m not putting in any more effort to keep the shit out of lemmy

thank God

the assassination itself is a comedy of errors. they actually managed to escape only to happen to turn down an alley with an assassin.
