        But the Papal States were different. The country of Vatican City as it exists today was only established in 1929.

          Now, Facebook was evil. But, Facebook was different. The Meta Platforms, Inc., as it exists today, was only established in 2021.

            Right. I just seemed to have missed the part where the facebook leadership was forced into excile and has it’s assets siezed by a 20 year long revolution/war that ultimatily defeated facebook, established a country and than granted the ceo a token “company”, entirly at the mercy of the revolutionaries.

            What a great analogy.

              I don’t know shit about The Vatican, the pope, their history, or their dumbass religion (obviously, and on purpose!). Thanks for taking the time to respond to give me some insight. However, your comment reads to the layman like , “They changed their name and are way better now,” and it’ll read that way to almost anybody without your extensive knowledge of useless things.

                I was just making a joke about a small country without an army, because the previous comment’s “challange” and wasn’t trying to make any furher points. I don’t even know why it escalted like this.

      that’s because the Vatican already drafts them to keep their heads in 1600, therefore they don’t know what modern warfare is
