Comment on John Howard says he ‘always had trouble’ with the concept of multiculturalism
muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 11 months agoBro im not claiming people should speak only english. My point was literaly that its irrelivant
its extraordinarily useful to have everyone speak the same language the easiest way to achieve this would be to choose the language that the largest number of people speak so we will end up with English
I’m not sure how else I was supposed to interpret this. Maybe instead of being cryptic, just spell out what it is you’re saying instead.
Sounds like “Language has nothing to do with it except” Would be immwdiatly followed by the exception to language having nothing to do with anything.
I think your suposed to interpret it by not quoting an exception to a rule as a rule for the purpose of misrepresentation. Its amazing how less cryptic things become when u havnt cut half of it out.

And the other point is you talked about Trump, which is the height of irrelevant since we are talking about Australia. If you’re not Australian, get the fuck out of here. We don’t need US politics infecting our country.

Trump is probably the best example of extrimist popularism seen in a western democracy. We heading down a dangerouse path of americanisation. America is our distopian future.
