While I absolutely agree history and culture should be preserved - it’s not so simple.
Take your comment as an example. HN has people worldwide interacting with each other in this forum BECAUSE we are all speaking a known common language (English).
If worldwide schools didn’t commonly teach English (or whatever the next dominant language might be) we wouldn’t be able to communicate with each other in this thread if we all spoke 100+ different languages.
- AndrewDucker 5y agoThere's a big difference between "you should take a course in English, it's really useful" and "we will punish you for speaking your own language" (as happened numerous times and is what the comment you replied to is talking about).
