The number varies depends on who you ask too, since a lot of people aren't able to agree on which smaller not-as-widely-spoken languages are considered dialects. It's pretty cool, tbh, except for the part where I only know 1 language out of at least a hundred.

But I'm bilingual so that makes me better off than a lot of people in, idk, America? South America?


Bilinguals are just greedy and can't commit.

That's basically not having a relationship with language at all and just making a bunch of sounds to hope something sticks.

But this one trumps all (pun intended).

Oh, God! This is the alternate universe where Trump wins, isn't it?

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
