And then they will blame it on Trudeau and they will believe it.
I've never understood the "bug conspiracy". Let's assume that there is a movement of people that wants everyone to eat bugs, and let's ignore any pros or cons about their consumption. How would that affect one's life? Without legislation mandating it's use (which I'd wager would be illegal, anyways β unless, ofc, there was a large enough majority of people in a democratic country who are in favor of forcing bugs on everyone to overrule said laws), one couldn't be forced to consume it; those who'd want to consume it will consume it, and those who don't won't. Where exactly is the issue?
Well, after gay marriage was legalized, destroying all heterosexual relationships and forcing us all to take gay partners, this is the obvious next step in the leftist agenda.
I don't understand what I am reading.
"Let them eat cake" is a very old journalist meme about government indifference to the horrible suffering it causes to the impoverished people.
"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", said to have been spoken in the 18th century by "a great princess" upon being told that the peasants had no bread. The phrase "let them eat cake" is conventionally attributed to Marie Antoinette, although there is no evidence that she ever uttered it, and it is now generally regarded as a journalistic clichΓ©. The French phrase mentions brioche, a bread enriched with butter and eggs, considered a luxury food. The quote is taken to reflect either the princess's frivolous disregard for the starving peasants or her poor understanding of their plight.

Like many other memes and political slogans, it is falsely attributed to someone who actually didn't say it.
So we have gone from, "Let them eat cake" to "Make them eat cake [bugs]" as a political meme used by journalists and agitators to promote an agenda of faux resistance.
I am aware of where it comes from, I was saying YOU didn't understand what you were reading.
I can see now what my mistake was.
I grant you absolution my son.
I donβt understand what I am reading.
I don't see the word you in that statement
Thats because it was in first person as I assumed you wanted to say...
You still seem to have problems with comprehension.

You might want to check usernames when you're trolling
Nah, you hoped into this of your own accord on their bullshit, so you get the same brush.
