Can you explain exactly what you’re “all for”? Because of the handful of interpretations of your post, several are downright psychotic.

View on HN

A well-intended interpretation is: the parent comment advocates for a society where there is substantial language diversity even within smaller geographic regions. This makes sense from many perspectives, because forcing people to speak the same language no matter the context is not only hostile to immigrants but also to native minorities. E.g., in the North of Scandinavia (where I reside), many people don't like that the language that has to be spoken is traditionally (less now than historically) dictated by the South.

in terms of non-native languages, practically this sort of policy quickly becomes a nightmare in terms of ensuring equitable access to public services

either these people become disadvantaged in terms of dealing with the state, or small fortunes have to be spent hiring substantial amounts of interpreters for every possible situation (which is a significant cost for e.g. elementary schools)

totally off topic but I love that "the South" in the context of your comment is hot exotic places like Stockholm and Helsinki

I am all for it in terms of diversity and inclusion.

In upsidedown universe where victimhood is a virtue, destroying one's own culture is the highest calling.

Your comment would've been more HNey without the last sentence.

The only interpretation I can see is in support of Great Replacement.

Ooh, this is my first time seeing white nationalism ideology referenced on hacker news.

(And to clarify, I do not remotely support the ideology... Just curious as to what types of people use this site)

I see you've not been here too long. If you want to see a lot more of it, turn on the "showdead" option in your profile that will show you all the comments from people too red in the eyes with mad ideologies to realize they have been shadowbanned.

This thread has the extremes on both sides, get ready for a lot more of it in the next year or two

Strange, I understood it completely differently (that plaguna is happy to read that people from different backgrounds can live together peacefully)

Wait you can be in favor of conspiracy theories? I never even considered that.

Ok then I’m in favor of the Worldwide Jewish Plot
