    Russia tried to do it with Ukrainian language and culture. 8 years ago, vast majority of Ukrainians in the north and east of the country used russian for every day communication (me among them). Now you’d be hard pressed to find even a few outside of the occupied territories. I believe the professional term for this is “backfired spectacularly”.

      Absurd nazi propaganda delusion. Pig Ukrainian nazis did this to Russian language rights, and subhuman scum now calling the inverse. World literally too stupid to go on, with selective nazi revisionisms so easily manipulated/upvoted.

          There are so many lovely people who speak English as a second language and not very well but who I would always be happy to listen to. On the flip side the guy you replied to could be a scholar of English language and I’d still want them to shut the fuck up 🤣

        Don’t do anything rash: as a millennial you have so much to live for and so many things to learn.
