        It’s harm reducing compared to exploiting mammals and devastating the environment with ranching and it’s supporting agriculture. Also - you will eat the bugs.

                It is at this point, 7 comments deep, arguing over whether or not this is a ‘left’ or ‘right’ stance or otherwise how to classify it, that I am going to suggest that I have successfully produced an opinion which does not easily fit on the traditional left-right spectrum.

                  Nah bro, while radical this is solidly left

                  People really actually should learn how to make bugs into more widespread, varied, and tasty cuisine.

                  Advocating for cultural updates to traditional hang-ups regarding disgust over ultimately harmless activities.

                  Meat is about to get much, much more expensive.

                  Recognition of real-world material conditions and their affects on workers.

                  Addendum: Ask the vegans about their most cost effective, most sustainable protein sources.

                  Not insulting vegans.

                    For the record I agree with you, all your points as to why this is ‘left’… but I would mostly just call this practical, pragmatic, realistic, something like that.

                    Yes, that does mesh nicely with ‘material conditions’ and all that, but I still find it amusing that this has generated a bit of a classification argument, ahaha!

                    EDiT: sorry i kind of stealth edited tjis for clarity, fucked up writst makes typing fun

                Oh gotcha, yeah, it’s tied in with conspiracism about the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab that’s based on the standard global elite antisemitism
