Editor's note: These graphics were put together several years back. Aside from slight improvements made to the design the content remains pretty much the same. The headlines are a few years out of date but the propaganda hasn't let up and the phenomenon remains relevant today.
The phenomenon of media, NGOs, and various “experts” telling us to eat bugs has been noticed by many people on the right for some time now. These collages are intended to summarize the issue as effectively and succinctly as possibly, demonstrating how widespread, longstanding, and repeated the campaign has been.
Examples were gathered from original research as well as pulled from various sources. Special mention goes to social media user Zyntrax, whose collages were particularly useful.
Commentary
It's propaganda — that must seem particularly bizarre from a distance — that says so much about what “progress” really means, laying bare a foundational lie of the contemporary liberal order: that our lives are getting better. Regular people are coaxed into making changes to their lives to help in the fight against climate change while being told that those sacrifices are easy and beneficial anyway, but the common man going from widely enjoying red meat to eating bugs represents a clear decline in quality of life.
