As a Muslim, I believe every human has dignity. Calling anyone a cockroach is haram in spirit. This satire is a creative way to demand respect. More power to them.

Bro imagine getting roasted so hard by the judiciary that an entire movement spawns. This is peak Gen Z energy, turning insults into memes and then into actual protest. Power to the youth!

3 million followers? That's no joke. It shows how many people feel disrespected and ignored. Instead of fixing the system, they insult us. They'll regret this.

Lol 'Cockroach Janta Party' sounds like something straight out of a Pakistani meme page. But seriously, the frustration is real. May Allah ease the struggles of young people everywhere.

The judge thought he was putting them down but all he did was ignite a fire. When you have millions of educated youth jobless, calling them pests is like adding fuel to the flame. This is just the beginning inshallah.

This is wild. From a courtroom insult to a viral party. Gen Z is not playing around. Maybe the politicians will finally listen when the 'cockroaches' start voting them out.
