The Romans borrowed a lot of language, concepts, and religion from the Greeks, all while subjugating them and claiming they were a backwards people.

2. Thomas Nast

From the Bill of Rights Institute:

"Tweed feared Nast’s cartoons to a much greater extent than newspaper articles, because many of his constituents were illiterate, and he even offered Nast a bribe to stop these public criticisms. Tweed was right to fear this criticism because Nast’s cartoons helped lead to his downfall and arrest in 1876. Tweed died in jail in 1878, and Nast continued to draw for Harper’s Weekly until 1886."

Absolute legend. No notes.

Oh come on. Does anyone believe this was an accident? He criticized the war in Ukraine. "Falling" out of a window is putin's response, it's not like it's the first time
