    Indulging in the "eat bug, live in pod" debate is honestly dangerous and plays right into the reactionary narrative. I'm honestly surprised that there isn't much pushback against it from leftists, the narrative was created and propagated by reactionaries to scapegoats the deterioration of material condition away from capitalism into some vague "globalist" conspiracy. And by globalist, they're not talking about neoliberals, but rather the globohomo: the lgbt, minorities, and us leftists.

    I mean yes capitalists are pushing bug burger and pod, but with the help of fascists directing popular anger against such policies into minorities as usual.

      We’ve seen how quickly things can become normalized under the hyperreality of capitalism. If they wanna sell us bugs, they’ll just find a way to not have to list the ingredients. Or to make the ingredients really small on the back label

        Or concocts a narrative that there are "good" bugs that sigma trad chads should eat, and "bad" bugs only soy beta cucks eat.

        edit: ""You will eat recycled shit and live in a cube" don't let the globalist take away your bugs and pods, western men!"

        Or rather, it's accepted as a logical "nonpolitical", " objective" necessity. Those who don't are ostracised as ignorant and illogical.

      On the one hand, it is quite disconcerting to see a 4chan slogan plastered on posts here.

      On the other hand, there are certain valid criticisms that skew very left or very left by minutae. For example, the idea that the world is controlled by a small clique of very wealthy people is either communist or Nazi depending on whether one says those people are capitalists or Jews.

      You aren't free and/or a real man without a perpetually green 2cm high lawn, le steaks on the grill, and two bloated trucks/SUVs in the garage. :grillman:
