Brother you should take a step back from politics if this is the depth of analysis you’re capable of.

They’re already shilling crypto hard and threatening to reneg on US debt. They want to crash the economy, do a full venture capital takeover and set up autonomous states in preparation for the coming inequality revolution.

It’s what the thread is about how is it cherry picking?

But that aside, hundreds of years before the Ulster Plantations, the MacDonnell clan migrated to Antrim and eventually became its rulers. They were likely descended from the Gaelic Scotti, the very people who migrated from Ireland to settle Scotland. So it all seems a bit arbitrary when you neglect the nuances.

Just as you can reference the Black and Tans’ Scottish unit, you can also point to the Galloglass warriors, who were Scots fighting alongside the Irish long before Protestant settlers arrived. Scotland isn’t just the Lowland Presbyterians, its history is deeply intertwined with Gaelic Ireland. They were basically part of the same Gaelic civilisation for most of their history until the 17th century when their (ruling) paths diverged due to English and Presbyterian influence.

Celtic was established to raise money for the poor Irish immigrants in Glasgow. They were fleeing the genocide enabled by Westminster during the potato famine. (From which the Scottish Highlands population never recovered from either - leading to the long-term decline of the shared Gaelic culture.)

What are you on about? Many of the Irish fleeing colonialism ended up in Glasgow so we end up with the situation described in the OP. Are their descendants not allowed to speak up about colonialism or are they not Scottish?

Summary

Idaho teacher Sarah Inama is defying her school district’s order to remove classroom posters promoting inclusivity, including one stating, "Everyone is welcome here."

The district claims the signs violate a policy requiring "content-neutral" decorations and argues that classrooms should be "distraction-free" environments.

Inama initially removed them but later rehung them, arguing the only opposing view to inclusion is exclusion.

Legal counsel upheld the district’s stance, giving her until the school year’s end to comply. Inama refuses, risking her job, and has received widespread support from the community and educators nationwide.

Summary

Fox News and Newsmax joined 40 news organizations in signing a letter urging the Trump administration to lift its ban on the Associated Press (AP) from White House events.

The ban stems from AP's refusal to adopt the term "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico," following a Trump executive order.

Newsmax defended AP’s First Amendment rights despite ideological differences.

The White House Correspondents’ Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press also protested the ban, but Trump remains firm, calling AP a "radical left organization."
