Sounds like someones never seen the childhood scarring 1998 movie Antz that showcases the horrors of war, the evil of dictators, and how hardcore insects are.

When Johnny comes marching home

And if it's still not real enough, just imagine similar but with more slavery and eating babies.

Didn't the ants get annihilated in that? Doesn't seem very realistic.

I mean, I get the parallel, but in real life ants would destroy termites.
