Immediately stomp an insect when they see one inside the house. It's like a reflex or impulse and honestly it's kinda scary seeing an otherwise nice person just stomp an insect or spider or whatever in cold blood almost instantaneously. There's like no thought or contemplation, it's just see the insect, and then immediately stomp it.

Like holy shit what did that little critter do to you? Just let it be.

EDIT: Holy fuck the responses. I guess many didn't actually read what I wrote. I wrote that people who "immediately stomp" without "thought or contemplation" have fash tendencies and I get accused of fashjacketing. Ugh whatever. To those who had thoughtful responses (e.g. if you feel something stinging your skin and swat it with your hand, or if you have an infestation issue in your house, etc.), I gotta say those make sense and I hear you all the way (and even in those cases it's not like there's a kneejerk intentional kill response, it's usually accidental or done after careful deliberation). But to the ones complaining about fashjacketing, maybe do some self crit for fuck's sake. You sound exactly like the fucking man vs bear defender types or a white fragility type, Jesus... It makes me actually think you do have fash tendencies tbh.

Anthropomorphizing little bugs and deciding not to kill them is valid (I do this) but deciding that those who do not are fascist is, imo, an unexamined, myopic and frankly cushy lib perspective

Edit: however if you torture bugs you are probably a pyschopath

Fascism link is sketchy at best, but I do agree that it's something that makes me think way way less of a person.
