Not sure why you're making this personal. I do of course realize the privilege in speaking English as a first language, being born in a developed nation, as a white cis-man, and so on.

To cling to the idea that English need continue to be the most important global economic language though, is a type of linguistic and economic supremacy I don't care to partake in.

If you were playing a strategy game you would definitely value your country’s language remaining the língua franca.

The same logic applies in the real world. It’s not personal. It’s the most impersonal thing possible.
