Be as much of a dick as possible. The right is so popular that they don’t need to really argue, all the arguments against the left boil down to scoffing at anything we say and then calling them names. We tried explaining our ideas, but they are so complicated for the majority of people. We can at least let them know that we hate them too.

literally never heard anyone talk about that.

tbh i’m generally on the side of the not eating the bug crew though. being forced to eat something different than what youre used to that you think is gross while wealthy and powerful people keep getting to eat the old food is some bullshit.

It’s not hypocrisy, it’s class rule.

Plus bug eating as protein is a bad idea because if the impetus is to produce more protein with fewer resource inputs then any of the much cheaper/less intensive options in diet for a small planet (>50 years ago!) are better.

Everyone eating the bugs only works if it’s collective punishment for transgressions against the earth and that’s stupid.

Or if it’s a way of enforcing class rule by creating additional lifestyle signifiers through literal enforced consumption and that’s not what we want.

I don’t know honestly I think a lot of people on this site have a kneejerk reaction to want to disagree with CHUDs no matter what they say because they don’t like them.

Like the general metaphorical truth is that the ownership class is going to use neoliberalism to continue turning the crank on the working class ad absurdum, and that’s ultimately true. The reason you’re having trouble telling them why they’re wrong is because they aren’t, they just may have a wrong idea about what to do about that.

It’s much more rhetorically powerful to not show a desperate need to disagree on every point. Agree where reasonable, and then push the left position like “… and that’s why we should be dedicating all our resources to liquidating the ownership class.”

A lot of CHUDs are much more radicalizable than libs, because many are at least starting from the position that this is all fucked. But you won’t be able to radicalize them if you let them trick you into defending neoliberalism (which is ultimately what they probably think leftists want anyways).
