 "If you kill a cockroach you are a hero, if you kill a butterfly, you are evil. Morals have aesthetic criteria." ― Friedrich Nietzsche 
 h/t @Svetski. I was not aware of this quote and can't be more true 
 One of the greatest quotes of all time 
 Few understand this.  
 Cockroach lives matter, I will die on this hill 
 Very true. 
 It's true. 
 butterfly = pollinator

cockroach = disease spreading scavenger 
 Reminds me of the Transcendentals. 
 Honestly, cockroaches eat feces and spread disease, and butterflies are pollinators. I don’t think it’s a very good comparison lol. 
 I think the quote is making a more general point 
 I know lol sorry. That’s just the first thing I thought of when I heard Alexis Svetski say that the other day. 
 😂 
 socialist = cockroach

YES

 Bitch should have been forced into child marriage.  
 bitch should have been told she can't have her my little pony when she was 3 years old more like 
 That's gotta be a parody, or something. 😬 
 nah, seriously, this is the kind of ridiculous spoiling i have literally seen in my life up close, this obsession with identities and pretending to be a lesbian or a boy is a typical manifestation of this damage and it's literally caused by parents giving in to tanties and granting every request... it's most common in middle class families where there is resources to do this kind of thing

they turn into monsters because they are not used to anyone saying no to them 
 lmao
