Oh and whoever separated animal and human violence, don't.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I dunno, bro. Hammering a piece of metal is pretty destructive. Using explosives in mines is pretty destructive. Some... other... things... Look, all I had were metal-work and mining as destructive processes that still create something, okay?! D:

None of these are violence.

You cannot create via destruction. You can break something and then rearrange it into something else, but it's the act of rearranging that makes the new thing, not the act of breaking. Even whatever is left after being broken is defined by its existence afterwards, not the act that breaks it. Violence is occasionally a tool used to prepare for creation -- and has merit precisely to the extent that it does and no further -- but it cannot, itself, create.
Dude, did you not see my supernova example? It's the extreme heat and pressure of the explosion itself that causes the elements to combine in ways that mere fusion cannot do itself - in other words, the very act of destruction is creating new things.

Does that apply to the human world? Possibly not.

Your supernova example has nothing to do with the kind of violence that was being discussed and does not apply to neither the "human world" or the discussion at hand.

Lichen is a fungus with a symbiotic plant or bacteria. So you'd be a plant, an animal, or a fungus.

That's even worse! You best check your privilege, Earthling scum. Other chemical makeups are lifeforms too.
Okay, this is just gonna get silly.

Interchangeable, AFAIK. So there's not much reason to dump excess letters in there.

I like to think that plants, as multicellular organisms, have some form of awareness. They'd have to at least have the level of consciousness affordable to a procaryote.

It's generally what I bring up whenever vegetarians get up me for eating meat.
Trees can bleed, trees can scream. Just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it isn't happening.
