Ahhh, yes. Ants. My favorite ‘missed the mark’ discussion on my lack of hope in humanity was from my fellow anarchist friends. I am a staunch evolution nerd and they were like, ‘nah - traits that favor trashy brute behavior aren’t valid - just read Paul Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid to have a better feels.’ I did and got to chapter six before wanting to beat Paul’s ass because his argument was basically ’ trust in humanity and the world because insects like ants can get along’. Never mind the fact that if one ant doesn’t share what it has with another than the colony will dismember it. Or how other animals fear ant colonies when they move into their territory. Hope in humanity not restored and I also hate ants even more.
