Boi you're the one who just decided to go to bat for anti-immigrant, anti-indigenous, and anti-working-class official language statuses and unofficial taboos against monolinguals or "wrong" bilinguals in state representation.

It's amazing how prevalently oversensitive, whiny little anti-intellectualists like you walk the lands and somehow feed themselves.

Now get defensive and try to roast me like you do everyone who calls you out on it, do it like we know you will 👏
