    i think its a little weird to preserve languages. like it would be objectively better if all slavic languages were one language for instance because it enhances interconnectedness.

    In Canada, First Nations languages Chipewyan, Cree, Gwich’in, Inuinnaqtun, Inuktitut, Inuvialuktun, North Slavey, South Slavey and Tłįchǫ are taught in schools. Making all languages one is what the residential schools tried to do, and it is rightly regarded as an act of genocide.

      Went over that in another post. Of course, I only really speak on the Czech situation. I think having a sort of pan-Slavic language would be better for Slavic countries as a whole in resisting imperialism from the EU and West. I'd be hesitant to apply that standard to indigenous people in America because I'm not indigenous. And of course a lot of Czechs would disagree with me, but I feel like its a pretty regular strain of thought in far left circles in Czechia.
