The right-wing excels at creating effective memes. They have a knack for simplifying complex issues, such as the left’s campaign to promote eating bugs and insects, into catchy images and phrases that not only mock the idea but also shape an entirely new narrative. This strategy is like a powerful marketing campaign, embedding itself into people’s minds and influencing the broader discussion. In the case of the bug push, the right came up with a straightforward counterpoint that resonated with the masses: “I won’t eat the bugs,” and it spread like wildfire.

Here are some examples of everyday people using the term “I won’t eat the bugs” on social media.

The “I will not eat the bugs” meme gave way to a slew of other anti-bug memes and messages that were also very powerful.

The right’s rebuttal to the bug push was so successful that the media has taken note, labeling anybody who refuse to eat bugs for dinner as “racist.” That’s a clear indicator that the strategy is working. If they’re calling you racist, it means you’re hitting them where it hurts.

The left claims the “I won’t eat the bugs” is a wacky conspiracy theory that spawned from this “crazy” idea that globalist elites are trying to control the world’s population by forcing them to eat bugs and lab-grown meat.

NPR:

“I will not eat the bugs” became a meme on 4chan and emerged in conservative talk shows and political speech. But why has it gained traction? In this week’s Code Switch, Gene Demby and NPR reporter Huo Jingnan dive into the sprawling conspiracy theory behind it. Proponents of the theory lean on the anti-semitic trope that “global elites” have a plot to control the masses — in this case under the guise of climate change solutions — by forcing them to eat bugs.

The fey effeminates at NPR put together an entire 33-minute podcast on the topic that you can listen to here.

Meanwhile, in January of 2023, the European Union green-lighted two insect species for human consumption. In response, Greg Gutfeld’s late-night show exclaimed, “The World Economic Forum wants you to eat bugs!”

In addition, the media is pushing this “bug craze” every chance they get.

The bottom line is this: the meme war against the bugs is effective, otherwise, the media wouldn’t be discussing it and labeling it as “racist.” Your biggest clue that whatever you’re doing is actually working is when you’re called a “racist.” So, keep refusing to eat the bugs.
