This post is more reasonable and well written than plenty of stuff I have seen from actual right wingers. I worry when people cosplay too hard, sometimes it becomes real.

That site is so weird. And whoever wrote that article is also mathematically illiterate. Not to mention they didn't link to any sources. So here is one they claim to have used:

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Foreign_language_skills_statistics#Level_of_command_of_best_known_foreign_language

This source says that 65% of 25-64 year old spoke at least a second language in 2016. The much lower number of 24% is when asked about proficiency, which can't be compared with the US given Americans' notorious overestimation of their own qualifications.

Most of the 25% of Americans (I couldn't find a source for this) claiming to speak a second language is immigrants. I guess it needs to be said, but when people comment on the monolongualism of Americans, it's about those who are not immigrants or first generation born in the US.

In my experience, most non Hispanics claiming to speak Spanish in the US struggle to hold even a basic conversation. And I have been to 35+ states, including door to door canvassing, etc.

I opened this post looking for coelacanth facts.

Yes. We are fucked.

Reddit has employees and servers in Europe, including EU countries. GDPR most definitely applies.

What does Pinochet have to do with this? Wrong country.

He has been unable to pass most of his reforms, so there's that. A better example is Menem, he caused massive damage in the 90s.

Socialism is not a bad word in Argentina, at all, so I'm hoping he will resign once he realizes he's getting nothing done.

No. He and his team are incompetent. He tried to rule by decree, when that failed he tried to push a huge law and when that got pushback they tried to take it back to committee without understanding it meant they were back to square one.

Even so, blaming him entirely for inflation is silly. He's only the president, and has only had a couple of months.

People in Montana do. Well, in their trucks, I don't remember any cars there. I usually take mine off, I'm too tall to wear it inside the car.

I don't know about Windows, on Linux it's at the function level, and some cases are tricky.

A theatre is perfectly fine. It doesn't have to, and shouldn't, be one of those suburban monstrosities with a huge parking lot and a dozen screens.

American universities are weird. My hometown has a large university and for the most part once you walk two minutes in any direction it just looks like a regular neighborhood. It helps to not have sports as part of the university.
