How many are killed in the wars and invasions in the past of any country? Germany, Spain, GB, USA, Rusia, Israel, China…since the first Australopithecus discovered that a stick was very useful for smashing the skulls of others. It is inherent in human nature to have a tendency to destroy one’s neighbor, at the command of leaders eager for power and often for childish reasons…
No, San Marino is independent state since 200 years or so (Edit: actually over 700). Sure, a very minor one, but still fit the incredibly sweeping definition of the guy i was answering to. Also why i would count Rome, it’s over 300 km away from it.
Roman Empire fell over 800 years before San Marino first became independent, and if you meant Rome as in the Papal States, it was since 1291.
Beside it would be pretty weird to blame specifically San Marino for what Roman Empire did, especially that the city itself was allegedly founded in 301 CE by christians fleeing from the Diocletian persecution.
Undoubtedly they do have some, but the number is not comparable to for example UK. I meant that sweeping statements like above are basically useless, even for a meme. Also this particular usage in this meme definitely sound like “all lives matter”.
Define “many”. San Marino? Probably not very many. UK? Oh boy.

It’s inherent to be territorial as much as it is to be jealous and greedy. Yet we still build mostly working societies.
It’s just that the current international framework is still stuck in the primitive ‘right of the stronger’ principle.
San Marino? You count Rome in that?
That’s Vaticano, not San Marino

Rome. The empire in which the citizens of San marino were apart of and engaged in authorities.

Why not? Same people. Same culture. Recieved the benefits of genocide.
I think if you look, you’ll find the bodies. Probably even San Marino, either directly or indirectly.

Fair enough
