Interesting that you think an ant dying entails annihilationism. I guess there is no kamma and rebirth for you then at all. It's just as the materialists say.
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

I’m saying annihilation is suffering


Nirvana is not annihilation

Some people make something into nothing whereas others make something out of nothing.

Polarized by wrong view they repel eachother like two magnets.

Be demagnetized of wrong view.
