I really need an explanation on this since people are not shutting up for months that EU is apparently putting insects in food for the people to be forced to buy and feed on like survivalists in jungle would? I know that EU is completely unhinged nazi hellhole and whatnot, but to this extent to feed themselves on bugs? I don't think so.
Can somebody please tell me about this, they are not shutting up about it on social media for months?!
I'm willing to listen to environmentalist arguments for veganism. Likewise, to people who (like monks in certain religious traditions) embrace veganism or vegetarianism as a kind of spiritual practice.
What I don't have time for is the concept that human beings need to stop seeing themselves as superior to other animals. It reeks of muddled thinkers like Count Leo Tolstoy. More importantly, it goes against the basic principal of Juche, that humanity, as "the most precious thing in the material universe," "is the master of all things and decides all things." I am all for humane treatment of animals, but the needs of humanity come first.
That's exactly my thought process! The Juche angle is something I've kicked around for a little while as well.

Actually, there is, because under the Juche philosophy the characteristic human traits -- independence, creativity, consciousness -- are held to be social in origin, not individual. There is no ubermensch in Juche, because there is no individual who possesses his or her "superior" characteristics innately and individually.
Nobody really ever changes their minds in this sort of debate, but -- don't you think it's a little suspect that you arrived back, by a sort of loop, at the Cleanest Race position on the DPRK and its official ideology?
