This reminds me of the bog people I met who live on a lake in floating mud huts. They’re all complaining that their children move away to go to school and live in cities etc.
Is the bog life really worth preserving? You basically just want to preserve these weird cultures for the sake of it, not because anyone benefits from it. Obviously children want electricity or to speak an actually used language rather than follow the meme culture. Why should we force them to suffer just to preserve that suffering?
- iancmceachern 4y agoI think you have the wrong take. Preserving the culture and language doesn't lead to the things you are describing. Those results are separate. Examples you should look to are how French has been preserved and protected in Montreal, Creole in the South, Catalan in Spain, on and on. Those places have managed to preserve their language and culture while also improving their standard and quality of life on par with modern western standards.
