Dude, I get it, but I don’t have anything against you and I’m not demanding you learn English to cater to me.
Please stop assuming I’m racist or selfish for only knowing the language my parents spoke most when I was a baby, I probably could have picked up Spanish from my mom’s family but sending a teenager with Asperger’s like me to stay with relatives in South America in 2007 like my normal-brained brother did as a foreign exchange student would have been infeasible.
I just want to write speculative fiction in my own language and in return be grateful to people who are willing to learn a trade language, not be told I’m a monster just for speaking only a language that’s commonplace, is that too much to ask?
Many years ago, the common speech was French. The world of diplomacy and international mail was all French.
As someone who struggled for years learning that vile language, I’m glad we switched to English. It could have been German and its 16 different way to spell an article.

It’s not about you personally, more about the education system in some countries versus others.

That’s a fair assessment. Sorry if I was over-reactive.
No worries <3
All is good, no need to change one’s self to conform to what others think. All we can do is keep on trying to learn.
The meme was meant to be taken as a joke, while being a bit smug.
The title mentions programming languages, so as to widen the pool; Lemmy seems to have many that would fall under that category.
Culture wars and identity politics are just tools used to divide.
We shall come together to battle the wealthy class, as the gods have foretold.
Good luck, mate!
