Comment on Is it a bad idea to learn Russian because of the war?

You were telling about cultures worth preserving - and by your definition, most of the cultures you list were not worth preserving and should have become extinct. Good thing that they were preserved even through the worst of times.

Fair enough, I am just being overly angry and hateful.

I mean, I get it.
I used to hate Mandarin a lot because of my government, kinda hated Cantonese too because of my parents and their conservative culture
But I realized they don’t own the language, fuck governments, language is a weapon, and I can wield it to advance my goals.
Make anti-government content using the very language they use as an official language, wield the language as a sword. Use it to attack the corrupt governments.
