I can tell you a secret about this, if you want secret knowledge. No charge, it's totally free.

Re: It's not just Peacegirl, and it's not just you
I remember the first time I heard "sea lioning", used as a verb. It was long before the woke revolution was obvious. Just asking what-the-fuck-does-that-even-mean
was met with "Oh he is sea lioning", which was so absurd it was funny.
Now you have to have a translator to even understand what some wokeratti is trying to shive down your throat.

Well, this pretty much establishes that your judgment as to whether two statements are or are not diametrically opposed is not to be trusted.
The first article is simply a discussion (and interview with a purveyor of edible crickets) about consumer resistance to eating bugs: Companies Face An Uphill Battle Trying To Get Americans To Eat Bugs : NPR
The second article describes a conspiracy theory being spread on 4chan, for example, 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"; How "I will not eat the bugs" attacks Davos and leverages xenophobic tropes : Code Switch : NPR
Both titles are merely descriptive of the stories they tell.

Don't worry David, I don't expect you or any of the regulars here to ever understand ...

Re: It's not just Peacegirl, and it's not just you
I know what you're trying to do with this, but, I feel a need to point out that in many of your examples, the apparent duality is actually quite logical.
Carry on.

The same amount of effort you used, could be used to point out just one example.
