    MAGA doesn’t believe in accommodating speakers of any language besides English. I’ve seen laugh emojis over the idea of films being translated to other languages. And MAGA complain about being so inconvenienced by having to press 1 fir service in English

      Like I just don’t get their philosophy. Foreign languages were always my worst subject but if some isn’t speaking English I dont really care doesn’t bother me. And as bad as I am at languages getting taught a phrase here and there by someone makes me happy and usually makes them very happy if I reuse it with the down the road.

        Agreed, French was my worst subject in university. Frigging hated it. That doesn’t mean I think non-english speakers should go hang. It doesn’t inconvenience me to press 1 for service in English. It isn’t a difficult task for food manufacturers to use a computer to translate stuff to other languages. Do they not do that for other countries?

        I saw a Facebook post about an actor voicing Spiderman in foreign translations of the film and this simple fact was somehow laughworthy to some. It’s like their attitude is that accommodating non-english speakers is “woke” and a demand from “special snowfkakes” even though the same accommodation is made for English speakers. Squid Game was dubbed over in English for us, along with lots of other foreign shows
