The replies tell me this isn’t heading anywhere good long term. One of us is going to have to go (and I don’t just mean the invaders, I mean the owners of the pets as well).https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1024284891092054016 …

Personal aside: never used to be that big on the language wars. Wondered why ALL Canadians didn’t learn both English/French. What’s the harm of Americans learning a bit of Spanish as well as the reverse? Europeans going multilingual to better integrate the various peoples etc.

Even after the red pill, didn’t consider language too much. More interested in race, you know who, all the rest of it. But after reading those smug replies: go fuck yourselves. Now my back is up. I will not be shamed or compelled to learn an invader’s language. Not ever.

Literally the worst reason I can think of to learn a language is because you never left your local community & didn’t do anything wrong but then a bunch of invaders showed up en mass so now you have to adapt to them. Not a great motivator. Not a positive, fulfilling motivator.

You want something positive: the invaders (sometimes) learn English because they’re in the US now & need it to succeed. You brush up on your French for that trip to Paris. You learn German for that job at VW in Berlin. You learn Japanese cause you’re obsessed w/ anime. Any...

Of these is a better starting point than the aforementioned “well the invaders outnumber me now & the shitlibs are going to mock me on twitter dot com for not really liking this so now I guess I will learn Spanish”. This does not happen. They’ll move & be pissed instead.
