dude, these are facts of life.

i’m glad you didn’t have to learn them. some of us do. including my german host family who lectured me on their issues with having to suppress their own native dialect to have better economic opportunity for themselves.

You can be all high minded you want about it, but the fact is your chances of having a decent-paying or high-paying career are very low unless you speak the standard version of your language.Some of us live in the real world with real world consequences for our actions. We don’t get it sit around and day dream about the revolution, like so many on fedi love to do.
