Explanation: Ancient Roman predecessors to modern pizza used pomegranate, amongst other fruits. Of course, such proto-'pizzas' lacked tomatoes (as tomatoes come from the Americas) and probably lacked mozzarella (as mozzarella is first mentioned during the Renaissance).

to those who live by rent, to those who live by wages, and to those who live by profit.

I forget who said it, but there was once a Republican who was concerned with preachers taking over the party.

Barry Goldwater, back in the 80s, I believe.

Well, yes, but the meme only measures number of Slavs killed, and Germans aren't Slavic.

If we're counting overall deaths, it's not even close. Hitler 'wins'.

Slow news day, it would seem. Like when the British commented on the foliage conditions during the Ukrainian offensive last year.

lmao

One of the most accurate estimations it's made thus far though.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant and tbh I’m not sure how people didn’t get that.

A lot of us are in a state of hypervigilance regarding conservative apologia, I think. False positives. Too keyed up, too ready to reach for the reflexive rebuke.

They may mean that the phrasing makes SCOTUS sound passive, when they are arguably being 'active' in this by overturning a lower court's ruling.

Yeah, that's probably true, unless one wishes to subject a certain percentage of the deaths in WW2 to Stalin's decisionmaking. That would, by my count, be unfair, even though Stalin's shares some responsibility for splitting Poland with genocidaires, letting the Nazis sucker-punch the USSR, and then a series of questionable decisions in defense of the Soviet Union. Ultimately, Hitler is the one at primary fault for the those deaths.
