Hey guys, you are looking over the abyss. Step back, or jump off.

Socialists don’t waste anytime demolishing cultures.

Weaponizing language is one of their favorite means.

Spain will be the next country to be destroyed. The public is really stupid, and votes based on emotion. It has no idea of what socialism or freedom actually mean.

This is the beauty of Spanish.

You can’t go gender neutral... without destroying the language.

The gender purisst are wrong, at least in English, as “guys” has transitioned from meaning just a group of males to meaning a group of people.

However, unfortunately for Spanish, gender is often embbeded in word construction with different word endings specific to gender: as in muchachos for boys and muchachas for girls. There is no direct word for “guys” in Spanish, the translation is the same as for boys, muchachos.

It would take a whole reconstruction of the Spanish language to make it “gender nuetral” everywhere.
