Wiggly mouse-drawn comics where balls represent different countries. They poke fun at national stereotypes and the "international drama" of their diplomatic relations. Polandball combines history, geography, Engrish, and an inferiority complex. God knows how the hell we’re supposed to do a wiki without using another website here….

I'm well aware. What does that have anything to do with it? Learning the language of the local populace seems like a no-brainer. If my wife and I retire to the Philippines, I'm going to learn Tagalog, at least enough to get by. And almost all Filipinos speak English already!
Ok, good. Definitely satire. Phew
The official languages of the Philippines are English and Filipino (standardized Tagalog), so not a great example.
What does learning English have to do with living in America, where English is not the official language?
Whatever point you’re trying to make, English is the official language of the US as of March of this year.
You forgot this part.
Hmm, an illegal xenophobic executive order made by a fascist, racist dictatorship.
What point are you making?
anyone who thinks an order from trump has any validity whatsoever deserves to spend a full day standing next to a puddle and get constantly soaked by passing cars.
You people understand I’m not advocating for the decision, right? The fact is, that bastard is in charge of the country right now, and real people in real federal agencies are taking real actions with real consequences as a result of that very real executive order. Asserting that it isn’t valid or official if you personally don’t acknowledge it is utterly delusional “sovereign citizen” behavior.
