Boi you're the one who just decided to go to bat for anti-immigrant, anti-indigenous, and anti-working-class official language statuses and unofficial taboos against monolinguals or "wrong" bilinguals in state representation.

Either that or you're a dumbfuck who didn't read the rest of the thread and decided you wanted to pop off anyways about some unrelated grievance completely separated from this conversation like the dumbfuck doing that would make ya, dumbfuck.

It's amazing how prevalently oversensitive, whiny little anti-intellectualists like you walk the lands and somehow feed themselves.

Now get defensive and try to roast me like you do everyone who calls you out on it, do it like we know you will 👏
