  "textContent": "See I have this condition called \"having any kind of upward mobility in my country is very hard without an english proficiency level of at least B2\", I wish it wasn't this way but it's an affliction that sadly affects millions of people in most non-anglo countries in the world.\n\nI love how it flew compeltely past your thick yankee skull that learning english is not something people do for shits and giggles or because we want to come talk to y'all on yankee social media. You think I learned your language so I could come hang out with you on tumblr dot com? I learned it because in most places in the world speaking it is a requirement for the vast majority of non-dead-end jobs. But of course your people are unable to imagine any situation where someone learns a language for any reason other than for funsies. As I said, monolingual anglophones are a deeply solipsistic people.\n\nimsobadatnicknames2:\n\n> imsobadatnicknames2:\n>\n>> Anglos will say shit like \"uhm you could just not learn a second language 🤷‍♀️\" and think they're refuting the existence of their linguistic imperialism instead of proving how insanely sheltered they are compared to everyone else in the world.\n>\n> All public universities in my country admit and reject people based on their score on a national standardized test, which features an English module that's worth 1/5 of your final score. This makes not having at least a basic level of English proficiency a major barrier for accessing higher education but yeah, I could have \"just... not learned your language\" I guess, yeah.",
