Red Ants vs Black Ants (Page 2): Then why use ants that are natural enemies as your example ? Why not use bald face wasp or even honey bees as examples? They are not aggressive unless...

Yup....It has nothing to do with the ants - they are the collateral damage.

Then why use ants that are natural enemies as your example ? Why not use bald face wasp or even honey bees as examples? They are not aggressive unless threatened. And they do cohabitate in small spaces until antagonized.

The example lacks intelligence!

I didn't direct my comment at you... But at the individual who made the meme...

Feeling a little touchy are you

Y'all got hooked on playing word games with an Entomological analogy and missed entirely where it led.

This is exactly what's happening in society today:
Liberal vs Conservative
Black vs White
Pro Mask vs Anti Mask

Good vs Evil

And, you never even addressed the REAL question we should be asking ourselves -

Who is shaking the jar? And Why?

So who's shaking the jar

The author obviously wanted to highlight a point and chose a subject he had no knowledge of to do so...

This is not uncommon...

The shaking of the jar is what makes the ants (and would most likely make wasps and bees) aggressive. The point is WHO is it that is shaking the jar. In my opinion, it is Satan. Some people might answer Jesus...but the point is, something bigger than all of us is shaking the jar. That's how I see it.

Maybe it's the wealthy "Elites".....maybe it's China!

Maybe there is no jar and y'all just have serious sociological issues that have been coming to a boil for a long time and finally have led to an unreconcilable divide

To me the example shows complete stupidity! The point could have and should have been made differently.

Ants are aggressive without outside interference requiring NO PROVICATION! In particular the red ant. They attack everything, try walking through a red ant hill, you will regret it!

There is no entity shaking the "jar" or world. This is a cycle that repeats its self and happens when people feel disenfranchised. They rebel, are placated, and rebel, placated; repeated from the birth of humans or the civil uncivilized.

We, along with many other nations, are experiencing sociological adjustments. Nothing new. Our issues are not unreconcilable, we have to wait for the fatigue to take hold before we can calmly discuss demands and options. Time is our friend in these matters.

Unfortunately, the pressure hasn't been relieved....

The point, like most right wing rhetoric was based on false information.

Patience is what we need right now. We need to wait until the fire of passion to cool, not to white ash, but cool so we can talk about real needs vice wants. As the song goes; you can't always get what you want, but if you try, you can get what you need. So many things have been wound together; issues with some police, masks or freedom, biden vice Trump. It has to be unraveled and solutions for each must be found independent of the others. And these issues are rabbit holes, it will take a wise and strong Chief to sort it out.
