I didn’t mean to say they’re in the sub. What I meant was that Anglish has been latched onto by white supremacists in real life. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I totally get it, and feel free to look into users you think may be doing that. But this is all very "out there". I'd like actual proof, though. And since this conversation is happening in view of others, they need it as well.

I've had nearly this exact conversation about three times now and it's never gone further than this point. Anglish doesn't exist outside these limited websites. We don't meet in person. "Real life" isn't an excuse not to show proof. I just really want that proof.

I have twice said that I am not referring to your sub Reddit. What are you asking me? Do you want me to give you links to examples outside of Reddit of white supremacy, groups being drawn to Anglish?

I’m not going to do that. If you can’t see why a movement to purify the English language back to its German roots is appealing to white supremacists I can’t help you.

I’m not saying that your sub Reddit is a haven for white supremacy. I’m saying that I, personally, don’t want anything to do with it based on my personal experience of having a step son who is a white supremacist.

I understand you're not referring to that specific sub. I'm putting out a general call to show real intentions. Keep in mind that this is all read by other people.

You don't have to give links to pages outside of Reddit as proof - whether here (not advised) or in a message (doable, but I get any trepidation). You just can't carry on like you have proof - especially if you're just going to post the exact article I referenced very early on.

It's obvious why dipshit White supremacists would want to "purify" English. The problem is that I have no issue with that alignment, given that English is one of many languages of Europe, and English itself isn't a default state of Whiteness. English belongs to many people - many who aren't White. That is well understood. You are understood. It's just not a very appealing exchange when you don't have real, direct proof. I need that.

I think I’m done. I’ve already explained my intentions and my personal experience. This may be a public forum, but I’m pretty certain nobody is reading our exchange right now, except for you and me.

No one's reading your proof either, including you or me. I don't know what's therefore "done".

Dude, we’re done. I made the mistake of engaging you. But I’m done with that. Have a good life.
