Hey everyone, myrmepropagandist (npub1ppe…qv2g) is one of the most interesting people to follow on Mastodon. She's generally interesting, but she's especially interesting with her ant facts.
Exhibit A.
Ants are social creatures and so they are no strangers to social exploits.
Kidnapping!
Coups!
Slavery!
Hi-jacking!
Highway Robbery!
Protection Rackets!
Wars of Territory Conquest!
Wars of National Security!
Wars of resource extraction!
Wars of stealing your house!
