  • I never disregard a source because I don’t like what they are saying.

    There are absolutely sources that you should disregard 100% of the time. It doesn’t mean they’re never right, but it’s not worth the effort to find a single grain of truth among the massive pile of bullshit.

    That being said, I don’t agree that Rumble is one of those any more than I would say Twitter is - it’s not a single entity, it’s a mass of public users. Be wary of misinformation, because anyone could be lying to you, but you can’t make a blanket statement. Or at least I would have been saying that about Twitter last week 🤷‍♂️







  • I can’t answer most of your questions, but one is easy:

    The UK is a country. None of Northern Ireland, England, or Scotland are countries - they’re all a part of the UK.

    You may or may not notice an outlier here: Ireland, which is not part of the UK and is its own country. Note that Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and is not a part of Ireland (despite being on the island of Ireland). The UK and the Irish have a… strained relationship.

    Britain is the big island, not a country itself.

    So to recap:

    • The UK and Ireland are both countries.

    • The UK is (primarily) made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

    • Britain and Ireland are both islands. The Island of Ireland consists of Ireland (the country) and Northern Ireland (part of the UK).
