I think part of the reason why American propaganda is so powerful is because most people only speak English as a second language. That way they are extra vulnerable for misinformation since they only get the American perspective. And since they can't speak other foreign languages they don't get the other perspective.
Yeah let's just go ahead and do that
Of course this won't happen in a day
Sorry to be sardonic.
What material forces are there to change how massive populations communicate? In the imperial periphery, people are going to learn to speak the language that's easiest to conduct capitalist business in. What I'm trying to say is that language is downstream of economics, and if we focus on changing language instead of economics we're going to be at best ineffectual and at worst harmful.
To purposefully try and change the languages people speak would either take massive violence or political will, neither of which we have.
I'm not saying they should forget English, just that the focus should be more on other languages
Honestly, how can we affect that? What's our role?
