This is of course with America in mind.

I dream of a world where people only speak American English.

That's disgusting. English has seriously stupid rules and doesn't even sound that good compared to other languages like Arabic

English is the language of the global market, which makes it superior regardless of pleasantness.

French is abhorrent in sound and spelling.

Besides for all the French crap about keeping it pure, it is just poorly pronounced Latin with bad grammar and spelling.

Latin is perhaps the greatest language to ever exist. I can't think of one greater.

Arabic writing is noteworthy for how awful it is, much like its overuse of vowels.

There is a reason why "Arabe" in French is also slang for "incomprehensible language".

I prefer natural, traditional languages over constructed languages. However, I do support governments setting up organizations to systematize and regulate existing languages, along the lines of the Academie Francais.

You don't know how Semitic languages work do you? Arabic, like Hebrew, doesn't use vowels that much. You don't have to use the Harakaat (vowel markings) to write words

The vowels are more of an issue with spoken Arabic. Hebrew writing is an eyesore for me, but it's marginally better than chicken scratch.

Actually it's not because you know what someone is saying. When writing it doesn't use vowels so you have to guess what someone's saying.

The dynastic cycle continues. It is true that the reason culture wars have seen crypto-fascism rise but not on our green hills, being a violation of both our NAP and trademarks. It is why these gentlemen in grey uniforms have sprung up all around our free cities in an effort to crush the hungry hammer and all the ills it prevails.

Suggestions for improvements, changes, or additions is as always welcome.

Relevant subjects for discussion include:

  • The politics, philosophies, and ideologies of the right.

What makes Latin so good?

Latin is pleasant to read, easy to adopt in script, and sounds majestic to the ear. Arabic does sound nice in prayer, I will admit that.
