h/t nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m. 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.
