i think this stupid meme i threw together in like 5 seconds explains why i find it hard to engage in a majority of conversations around independence

i had a breif look on the internet to see what other people were saying about things like this, and i've found some articles i've saved for later, but also a lot of people on reddit saying that we as humans would have to have only one culture and language in order to have no countries?? countries as they exist now are not zones that only contain one culture and one language within their borders, with absolutely no overlap into other countries (there wer some bad takes on borders in relation to colonialism, but it's reddit so i sort of expeced that. i do not like reddit). but that seems to be what a number of people think. a world with no countries doesn't mean everyone would have to share one unified culture/language. what a bizarre interpretation....??

deleted twitter and mastodon. blissful.

hoverflies are underrated imo

i feel like it would be so much easier to talk about celtic nations online if the general online population understood that england ≠ britain ≠ the uk ≠ the british isles

i remember someone i followed on tumblr received an ask where the asker was going "i thought welsh people were english bc i thought england was the island and britain was the country with london etc".

i also feel like since there's been welsh, scottish, and cornish people online recently saying "don't say britain when you mean england", some people have taken that to mean "never say britain and only say england", when we just mean "stop talking about britain like it's one homogenised culture where everywhere is england".
