I’m not sure what this meme wants. Would you like to see americans confidently overestimating their foreign language skills and pulling the meaning straight from their… ideology? Because I’m sure that can be arranged.
I’ll admit I was making fun of the meme for using vague, unfocused sarcasm against its target, and I did it by using slightly more pointed sarcasm, so it’s fair you misunderstood me.
Yeah, that’s my point. The meme is criticizing americans for needing theory to be translated into english. Which seems to be adjacent to some valid criticisms, but dosen’t make sense as is.
People should at least know some basic vocabulary and conversational sentences. That should get you by for nuanced and often deeply contextual political analysis from 100 years ago, right?
