     @nugger Damn, I'd say the second language should be a country that would be safe to work for/move to. So Russian or Chinese

     @D-Droid @nugger And if we really want a "language of our own", just make some conlang. Steal ideas from lojban or something.

     On the one hand that would mean the amount of others who speak it is lesser, but on the other it would make you stand out if you spoke it. If you see a couple of white guy speaking to each other in Russian, they might just be Russian. In Japanese, they might just be weebs, much more weird. In Chinese? now things are getting downright suspicious. In a conlang, they must be turbo nerds; you'll stick out like a sore thumb. And if it is knows that dissidents are using a foreign language to communicate, than the more excuses you can muster for speaking that language the less issues you'll run into. Conlangs are just asking to get you othered. If I were to chose a language I'd go with Spanish. European language; third most spoken in the world and taught in every school (no cause for suspicion); let's you get by around the invaders that will only increase in number for the foreseeable future; and if you need to flee the US going to some South American shithole is probably the most realistic for most people, even if it's just a short term solution before going elsewhere. But what's most important is learning whatever everyone else is learning if this hypothetical alternate language moobment ever actually happens.
