I'm not sure but for proofing marginal independence I've came across this stack exchange post, and from there to this link, where I found that the condition to hold for 2 variables to be independent marginally is $P(X \lor Y) = P(X)$ which I assume can be basically translated to the probability of either events X, or Y happening is identical to probability of X happening which doesn't make much sense. Like that would imply that $P(x) + P(y) - P(x)\times{P(y)} = P(x)$, which is only possible when $P(x)\times{P(y)} = P(y)$ which then implies that $P(x) = 1$ which implies X is certain. So for y to be independent of X, X should be certain? that looks like I've completely messed my math somehow

I seem to have wrong math for marginal independence proof (details in question), can anyone explain where my logic went wrong.
