For Europa, language used to be ethnic and sacredly connected to a people as their secret code of communication. Now that English is becoming our world's dominant language, there is no longer any natural layer of communication security for the West. China has Chinese, Israel has Israeli, but America and parts of Europe are now vulnerable as their secret code is known by all. Even now in "peacetime", Muslim terror agents in Britain can easily understand their targets, but can't be understood. In wartime, imagine this problem but on a massive scale. You can't yell out orders in your secret code anymore because all the Chinese soldiers killing your people grew up learning it in school.
I hope someone can just come in here and call out why this doesn't make any sense, but right now it seems to me that we are at a severe disadvantage. Even now, other countries can observe our internet and learn who we are while very few of us can do the same back. It may seem dominant to have your language everywhere, but I feel like there could be severe negative consequences down the line. Feeling more and more like a guinea pig every day.

It's less about language and more about how atomized everyone is now.
When the person next to you on a bus is as likely to report you to the govt as they are to side with you, it's hard to feel like anything but a single plank of wood, adrift on an ocean of nothingness.
That's why (((individualism))) is so important. That's why destruction of the family is so important. When you feel you can only rely on yourself, you're broken and lost.
The default attitude then becomes:
"Why would I stand up for these other people and risk my life when no one else seems to care about the state of the world?"
Add in the movies and TV shows that all show neighborhoods becoming violent dog eat dog situations in apocalyptic scenarios and you see how they not only literally atomize everyone, but also enforce that programming through propaganda.

It all seems so hopeless.
