i agree that linguistic imperialism is a major issue, but we can’t solve it by swapping one imperial language out for another. instead of making everyone learn an auxiliary language, we should devote time and resources to reviving endangered languages and promoting awareness of indigenous languages. the English hegemony is a symptom of the linguistic imperialism problem, not the cause of it.
I guess it all comes down to that esperanto is a more inclusive language. It requires much less time investment to learn the language, so it could give people in the global south a lot more visibility and attention. And even more so if we can decentralize and distribute the web.
