Two questions:
Eating bugs is not an abnormal human behavior, and it is not uncommon in cuisine across the world. So I don’t see how that’s a negative thing, inherently?
How would using cash translate into a message of “people power”? You’re still paying the same amount of the same currency for the same product, just in a different form.
I don't know, but I would like to try, we don't know what we can loose or gain, we only cry when we have issues and we don't have solution or power to make difference, and it is just awareness month, no biggie
I mean, you’re more than welcome to try! I’m just curious why this issue in particular strikes you as a high priority
I was thinking about few ideas, but all of them are maybe too radical, this one seams easy to do. And if we ask politicians for support we can get interesting answers and reactions. Just few days ago I saw that is "Vegan month", didn't know about it, but someone printed those posters and rent ad space on bus stops. Who is pushing all other awareness months? Let's see if we can push one. It is not high priority, just curious if there is a will, and if not, why not.
There's a vegan month cause people want to raise awareness of veganism/animal welfare. They want to promote people to make that change.
What awareness is there having your pockets heavy with change?
I've learn in school that humans always eat meat, and tribes that had more resources were stronger. There are some proteins that we can get only from meat. But I have feeling it is not about choice. They want to remove meat all together. Same with cash. I still don't know why, and I don't want to know. I just want to be inline with nature as I evolved and born.
Sounds like you need to go back to school.
We have cultures that have been living on vegan diets for thousands of years and they still exist. Obviously not dying from lack of nutritional needs or being weaker than neighbouring groups.
If you want to truly be in line with nature we evolved, you'd hop off line and go live in plains of North-East Africa. You don't, you just want to repeat right-wing talking points and other insanities detached from reality.
>We have cultures that have been living on vegan diets for thousands of years and they still exist.
no. we don't. why would you lie about this?
The Indus Valley people and their descendants disagree strongly with you there.
I don't know nothing about right/left wing, not US citizen, and my family grows food. Currently I'm not, but in few years I will. But if they ban farms, take the land, ruin soil with pesticide, there will be no healthy food or soil will be damaged to grow any. You will be forced to buy. Anyway, offtopic

Epoch Times is Falun Gong (basically Chinese Scientology) ran bullshit.
Also that 'UN's gonna take over the world and make us eat bugs' article is further evidence of your alt-right 'globalist' bullshit showing.
one more reason

Mate.
You are neck fucking deep in this alt-right shit, why do you think sharing more insane conspiracies would improve anyone’s perception of you right now?
no, but how about a youtube video!
what conspiracies, account was frozen, that is the fact
sure, whatever makes you calm, here is another screenshot with original message by original author, you might like it, I don't, and it is OK to disagree https://lemmy.ml/comment/5802975
I disagree strongly with your view on that.
Still not sure why you think cash needs a month?
Because it is disappearing and money is only what is left when you trade your life time. If I'm trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.
If you're doing things that mean the bank might freeze your account then you can keep it in cash. Most criminals do this for that reason.
I don't think you need to be criminal for gov not like you
I didn't say that. Two sentences there.
That's fine. I can get that. For many of us though we are so worried about surviving and providing for others that it would be very hard / determinental to take this stand at the loss of compound interest which can hopefully become like a future source of sustainable income in and of itself. So go and do it, but few people in a tough economy can afford to join you so maybe just make it kind of your own thing.
