You could even say, it is far-right.

Liberals believe in infinite growth, and for that to happen you also need infinite demographic growth to get an ever increasing work force and mass of consumers.

They are just a bunch of weirdos.

Their current president was Duterte's vice president, so yeah we shouldn't praise him.

So the spelling is irregular, so what. You’ll be bad at spelling for a while.

People mostly learn languages by reading.

having to memorize arbitrary gender for every noun in the language, learn complex verb conjugations, polite and impolite forms and make every verb and adjective agree with the nouns in gender and number

If you mess those up, people will still understand you. Saying "un chaise" instead of "une chaise" doesn't change the meaning and everyone knows what you're saying.

However, if you learn english words through text and then try to use them vocally, nobody will understand you. (looking at you "beard", who isn't pronounced at all like "bear" for some reason)

There is absolutely no correlation between spoken and written english, so in practice it's the same as having to learn two languages at once. Even adult native speakers still aren't sure how to pronounce simple 1 syllable words such as "route" or "vase", that's pretty telling how confusing that language is.

That's interesting, the only support I've seen for it amongst regular citizens of Europe is from people that both:

  1. Are well-off enough to be able to take in the price increase without seeing their quality of life impacted
  2. Wanted to inflict economic hardship on Russian citizens through sanctions as a form of punishment for Putin's policies

Even though I wasn't very much affected by the inflation, I understand the reasons those sanctions aren't supported by the majority of people here in Europe, and I sympathize with the hardship of people who already before that were struggling to make ends meet and feed their family, and weren't able to heat their home last winter.

You can categorize me with the humanitarians. And I already know where to categorize you.

Could you expand on that? What was the content of the surveys and what where the difference? And where does he state that?

I don't know about you, but I would rather live in a country with an authoritarian and oppressive government that takes care of its citizens, instead of an authoritarian and oppressive government that oppresses its citizens to protect landlords and corporations profits like I do now.
