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 …

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.

i speak spanish at a decent level and i've actually enjoyed using it when I went to Spain. I have not enjoyed having spanish speakers insisting on speaking spanish to me in my on country where spanish is not a common language.

I'd probably enjoy using it if I went to south-america. But the idea that native white american english speakers are morally defective for not getting with the spanish program is incredibly repulsive. it's THEIR land, not that of the invaders

I've liked the Portuguese language for a long time, whereas I don't like Spanish as much. I rather dislike it when I hear or see it in public places. One major difference--my country isn't being overrun by Brazilians.

Having said that, I'm not sure I'm actually on board with well-meaning efforts (like Ron Unz's in California) to promote English in immigrant communities. I guess I've come around 2 right-wing anti-assimilationism. The numbers r too big, & our elite is too hostile to the nation.

So as long as Americans and post-Americans have to live in large numbers in the same country, it may be best to avoid wholesale ethnic amalgamation and reduction of national identity to the lowest common denominator.

In that sense, the prevalence of Spanish may be a blessing in disguise, especially in the case of illegals and criminal legal aliens who Have To Go Back anyway.
