Language doesn’t always follow logical rules though, it’s defined by how we actually use it. Like everyone understands that the “homophobia” means prejudice against homosexual people, despite the “homo” part only meaning “same” when it is without the “-sexual” part. Nobody thinks it means fear of things that are the same

To quote from the modlog:
Or because it’s a theocracy based on religion that literally says “God is telling us to kill everyone else”.
Making claims about what religion says means you’re either talking about the religion the country and missed an “a” before the word “religion”, or you’re talking about every religion. I think it’s probably the former, but either way Islam falls under it
They’ve had that government for a long time and were content to sign the JCPOA. You don’t have to like the Iranian government at all to recognise that it was not the party to break that deal
Also, Pakistan is a Muslim country which has had nukes for decades without using them on anyone. Being Muslim does not make you want to nuke the rest of the world

Skua@kbin.earthto World News@lemmy.world•Explosions caused 2 bridges in western Russia to collapse, officials say. 7 people were killed0·14 days agoI’m not sure I see the rationale there. Russia was already hitting Ukrainian infrastructure, so framing Ukraine for destroying some in return doesn’t create an escalation that they can “respond” to. Losing railway bridges close to the front lines - very useful for logistics and not easy to fix - seems like a very costly sacrifice for seemingly no gain if it’s a false flag

Both products of the same company but they seem like quite different experiences and userbases to me. Anecdotally, facebook is where my dad sends his friends things he found funny and instagram is where my brother posts pictures of his nights out
“MLN” here clearly being an abbreviation for “May billions”
