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.

spanish speaker here
you anglos have no one to blame but yourselves for english becoming the most popular human language
and it has nothing to do with anglos inventing shit and everyone wanting to be able to read the instruction manual
it doesn't even have anything to do with the fact that english became the language to know if you wanted to work in airlines
the reason why everybody began learning english as a second language
IS BECOS IT'S FUCKING EASY
seriusly the easyest language to learn out of all other languages i've ever heard
mixing two words to make up a new one is very easy, some times you turn sound effectsd into words (dogs bark, cats meow, phones ring, knok on wood, etc)
i'm not a language expert but even i can tell how easy english is compared to everything else
you anglos have like 12 o 14 verval tenses, spanish in comparision has like 30, or probably more even though we normally use only 4 or 5 of them, and lets not even get into the amount of words each language has to memorize if you want to learn it
even when spoken english just rolls off the tonge with sentences with very little amount of syllables. in spanish if you want to say the same thing an english speaker said you need to spit a lot more syllables per word, and we can't do things like turning "I am" into "I'm"
everyone learns english becos it's an eficient and simple language that can be learned in under 6 years
i may talk a lot of shit about eternal anglos and their merimutt spawn, but the language you made is something i take my hat off to. not only is it simple and efficient it's also versatile when it comes to combining two words into a new word thoug i can't think of any example right now
if there is a language anon here who knows an easyer languge to learn than english, then please let me know cos i can't thing of any

Yeah it's a double-edged sword. The easiness of English plus our propensity for colonizing the world gave us immense influence. But we weren't smart enough to insulate ourselves from the backwash of shitskins, instead thinking them intelligent for being able to "speak so well".
