Paranoid Diplomacy
The hypothesis that individual paranoia is contagious has been proven as fact by very recent studies involving both the workers and the soldiers.
Since, our colonies do not have a bourgeoisie or aristocracy except for our glorious queen and the puny males of very short lifespan whose sole reason of existence is to pleasure the miraculous Lady of the Shadows, it is fair to say that our culture has no emotions like love, hate and mental sickness such as greed, competition, violent behavior.
Our nestocracy is based on instinct and instinctive behavior that has not changed in more than a millennium or even more, according to our archive clouds which are periodically consulted by the elder workers and soldiers and, sometimes, by a new young queen before she departs to establish her own nestocracy.
The deterioration of our generation started imperceptibly, after the appearance of a group of vicious looking large red cousins, followed by dusky large black ones. Our military scouts reported the sightings but no interference with the activities of our workers.
There was some consternation and confusion but nothing that could not be handled, until, a very large tribe of small yellow cousins poured out of a recently deposited mysterious wooden object with corners, nooks and crannies and dirty cloth clinging to some parts. They were famished, it appeared, and were not prepared to use precious energy and time to gather edibles in the usual ant-way. They were gatherer-eaters rather than gatherer-hoarders. Was this their nature or a result of circumstances, was not clear. But, it just was not acceptable.
